September 2018, Walkers and Crowders at the top of Grouse Mountain ski resort Vancouver, BC. The view and scenery was amazing. If you don’t like heights, think twice about going up, if you go up make sure to use bathroom, gondola ride is one steep and swift climb.

San Diego trip (July ‘08) Jim OD, Becky Pollard Ortiz and Billy Joe); Becky and girlfriends had a house right on the boardwalk, great location to chill and people watch; not so fast, we crashed their peaceful retreat, ate their food and drank their beer.

Billy Joe and Lindy met us in Oregon for a road trip we took with them to British Columbia. This picture was taken on a side trip to the Tillamook Cheese Factory. I really think Tillamook should have signed an advertising contract with them. They fit the role so well .

July 2008, Walker, Crowder, Jim O’Donnell (aka Jimmy Love) and Frank Ruiz (aka Candyman), meet up in San Diego at Aaron Kizer’s home (Aaron was host, but could not make it); Sherry (Walkers daughter was so gracious, she let us use her car/convertible and invited us over for a feast, I will never forget). It was at Sherry’s house where I took this picture.
