Welp, the first cruise of the year to shake off the cobwebs is in the books! Since the cobwebs were still present preceding the cruise, we used the old Granny's Loop route rather than making it a mystery cruise. Before we left Wallyworld, Reeko presented the ladies each a single red rose for Valentine's Day! Reeko is a very smart guy. It was kinda rainy when we started, but the sun came out not long after we were on our way. We stopped at the Fairmount Diner for breakfast, and as usual, the food and service was excellent! We stopped under the Elwha Bridge to check out the river and for a group pic, and as a special treat, Tony had the equipment to make giant soap bubbles! Tony barely got a few successful bubbles launched before we took off again. We cruised through the Salt Creek campground, and shortly after we left there, some of us saw a huge herd of elk, and some of us kept our eyes on the road. We cruised through beautiful scenery around Lake Crescent and then to the cruise end at the Black Diamond Community Hall. But there was an event being held there and we were blocking other people's cars, so we moved across the street to Karen's for a little socializing before we all took off for our respective abodes.
The starting line at Wallyworld.
Lots of early runoff. River was the highest I'd ever seen it. We're gonna have a drought this summer, y'all.
Tony and his giant bubble! It's about the size of a Beetle!
If you look at the center of this photo, you can see the bubble floating away
Another bubble! Or is it a ghost from cruises past?
Look at this perfect red rose. Just look at it! Thank you, Reeko!
Rarely seen in nature: VW drivers outside of their cars. Take the picture so we can get back in!
Post cruise debriefing!
Karen, call pest control! You have too many Bugs in your yard!
