Okay, I'll start us off in the new section. While we didn't actually take an Eagle, I took my family down to the annual Stagecoach Festival country music show in Indio, CA a couple of weeks ago. Even though we didn't have an Eagle there we met up with Art and Cindy and hung out with them on their beautiful bird, Sunchaser.

The Stagecoach Festival has grown to one of the largest country music shows in CA in just a few years. This year over 60,000 people attended to see such acts as Brad Paisley, Charlie Daniels, Reba McEntire, Kenny Chesney, Darius Rucker, and many more. Some of you Texans might appreciate that Dale Watson and Jerry Jeff Walker both played there as well.

And a good time was had by all at Stagecoach. . . I'll get Cindy to post a picture of us with Dale and family out there. And of course, Dale pulled some strings and scored backstage passes with Charlie Daniels (ya Dale, we saved the one on the window!). After walking around the RV area, we found only one other bus: an MCI with a two-week conversion some teenagers borrowed.

This upcoming weekend we're off to Visalia/Porterville for a birthday party weekend for Cindy (this'll probably require a little aspirin since we might have a drink or two)!

Looking forward to travel stories and pics in this thread. . .

That Art! He sure has a good life! haha... I don't remember a nap where I felt as comfortable as he looks in a very long time!

Yep, that's me and my girls. I think Mac was waiting for someone to say 'Say cheese!'.

Look out for Charley Davidson while you are up there. He's pretty dangerous too!

Okay--I'm thinking that was my payback for telling everyone how old Cindy is. . .she always manages to get the worst possible pictures of me crashed-out somewhere. I'll have Cindy find a picture with me and my bike going out of control!!
