Mini GoatRun 2009

I just got back from going on a cruise with about 25-30 other GTOs from Oregon down to Fresno. We met the group at a rest area on I-5 just North of the Nees Ave exit. It was real cool seeing GTOs pull into the parking lot at once.

The day started at 4:45am at the Yukon Jack's parking lot. That was our meeting spot for the Fresno/Clovis GTOs. We had a late start because one of the GTOs who wasn't cruising with us stopped by to chat it up a bit. He had been working just before us leaving. We took Ave 7 all the way West through Firebaugh and to the Rest Area.

We cruised South on I-5 until Hwy46 to Wasco. It was cool cruising with so many GTOs. I had a tripod setup on my passenger seat and taking videos every here and there. In Wasco, the Fresno/Clovis GTOs decided that was the end of the cruise. Whereas the rest of the GTOs were going to meet up with the SoCal group in Barstow and eventually to Las Vegas.

Our group went to Denny's in Delano. No one had eaten so it was a great stop. On the way home up the 99 we ran into a couple cars that wanted to play with our very attractive cars. That did help pass the time for the drive home.

All in all it was a good trip even though I had to wake up at 4am. Next year maybe I'll do the whole trip to Vegas.
