Up to Jan 1st, 2015

Katie has worn this coat for a long time...it's beautiful, and never goes out of style!


Lynne singing a song she wrote herself, at the Winterhaven Sing


Because it's right after Christmas, a lot of the regular musicians weren't there tonight.  Those that were there put out some excellent music


Bonnie is the Mistress of Ceremonies. And a fine job she does!


Although we're going through a cold spell, Dave, a tough Canadian,  is still wearing a T-shirt while he does some cleaning on his beautiful motorcycle


Inside the restaurant where our waitress friend, Amber, is now working.  It's out in the Foothills, on Fortuna Road.


Jamming at the Winterhaven park




Jan has a beautiful voice, and she really gets into this guitar stuff!


Inside Dave and Romy's Giant 5th wheel.  Romy made custard from scratch to cover some of Pat's fruit cake.


Bob and lynda planted a bulb.  This is what happened to it!


A beautiful Amaryllis in full Bloom!

This Nomad was bought new by our friend Slots (from Reno). Then I owned it for awhile, and now Didsbury Dave ownes it.  That happens a lot in VROC.


It's now a Canadian Bike


Jim and Katie installing some new turnsignals on "Helen" their Vulcan Classic


At a flying J.  Coffee on New Years Eve, Eve.


Dale hasn't emptied any of these cans, but he's a good collector.  He takes them to a recycle place and the park uses the money to buy water for the clubhouse and other things.  Thanks, Dale!


Zmean1, Badger, Wrong Turn, KT, Pebbles, DD, Pat and Hooligan at New Years Eve Dinner


Susan and Joe


Jim and Katie


Romy and Dave


Pat and Sherm


I am Walrus


Another use for Chop Sticks


After dinner, Pat and I went to listen to Ron and Opal.  Unlike most of our Jams, these are professional singers.


Jimmy at the Piano, and Bonnie singing, were part of  the performance. They did great!  Ron and Opal's group is called Legacy.  They travel around the country, but spend more time here in Yuma and Branson, MO during the summer


Ahhh..Smoores!


Roasting a marshmallow to cram in with the Graham crackers, and Hershey chocolate  to make a Smore


By the time we got here at 9:30, the fire was just right


Glowing red Stainless Steel. A fine fire pit


Dave and Romy have a nice fireplace in their trailer


This is only part of the snacks. But...we were all still full from a large dinner, so we didn't do the goodies justice


Last year on this night, Dave had a whole truck load of fireworks.  He decided some of the  lighter sparklers and poppers are just as much fun, and a lot less work :-)


Those are some nice sparklers!


Romy whipped this heavy cream and added all the right ingredients for these beautiful Decaf Irish Coffee.


Hey!  There's a Bear in the house!


A neighbor, Char, is out walking her dog just before the New Year.  She had on a flashing hat.


2015!  Morning of January 1st. Gathering for a little ride for lunch


Only 30 some miles, and we get to Chuck's Stagestop Restaurant in Wellton, AZ


This Dodge in the parking lot had just a few accessories......


Beautiful truck. But, most of the guys are Ford Folk, so they weren't impressed :-)


Our friend Fly moved out of Iowa, and moved out here to Arizona


The Special is a traditional New Years meal


Starting the New Year out laughing.  A good thing


Sauerkraut, Mashed red potatoes, and roast pork.  Not my favorite meal by a long shot, but it's suppose to bring health and prosperity for the coming year. And, the potatoes were very good. 


Suans had a "Beer in a Boot".  Only in Arizona


We rode home a different route.  Looks like Santa is about done for 2014.


Katie was the only lady brave enough to ride in the cold weather.  It was in the mid 50's.  The red chevy is hauling the rest.  Dave and Romy's rental car


We even did a little dirt riding


Romy is driving, Pat and Susan are passengers


Lots of agriculture out here in Dome Valley. And, a large feed lot.  Thankfully the wind was blowing the right way so we didn't have to smell it


This tracker gets decorated with the season.  We'll have to come back again soon to see what replaces Santa and his deer 


It's nice having a professional photographer with us




Dualing cameras.. Close dualing cameras!
This was a perfect way to end a year and start a now one.  Good friends, Good food, Good riding!
