Toa's visit 15 April 13

Toa, visiting from New Zealand, and Biglefti, all the way from Sun City West at the Hackberry General Store. (Slammer. Recognize the jacket?)

Kenny and Thelma joined us for lunch and the ride.

Alan "Toa", Ali, Pat, Sherm, and Lanny (Biglefti)


Toa has a new friend!

Pat,  Lanny, and the '57 Vette

Toa's Tummy, Kenny, Thelma, Pat and Lanny

The ceiling in the Soda Fountain is partially covered with foreign currancy.  Toa spots a New Zealand $5 bill up there.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams


The Wonder Dog Max.  A world famous dog, Max has appeared in some European Commercials. 

Relaxing in the shade of the old gas pumps

Kenny visiting with Thurston

Toa and Ali.  Just prior to getting into their riding clothes.

We had lunch at "Grandpa's".   Nice little Greasy Spoon.

Since Toa has a Burgman 650, just like this one, we thought it was fitting that he put some miles on Route 66.  Pat and I drove his rental car, so Alan and Ali could ride the Scoot.

The Daily Specials are on the wall.

Only in the mid 70's today, with some wind.  Had to dodge a few tumbleweeds on the way out.

The Corvette is a daily driver

Never ending antiques

Ali out snapping a few pictures.  Because of a time limit, we didn't take them on the whole tour of the property.  They needed to be at the Lodge at the Grand Canyon before dark, so was important to get moving.

Toa meets Peggy Sue

Ali and Elvis

A short visit while we waited until Kenny and Thelma arrived. Also with us was our VROC friends Ed and Carl Anderson. 

I forgot to take my camera, so my pictures with taken with the phone, and didn't turn out very good. Some of the better ones were taken with Lanny's new pocket Nikon.
Didn't get any of Ed and Carl, they didn't make the ride.  The only disappointment of the day was lack of good pictures, but in reality, it was a GREAT DAY!
