Great fun, as always!
We arrived about 11:30 and I soon bumped into Surfer Jim... then at the meeting area was John M & Barbara & Debie with friends and family from
the high desert.
I called TW, who was on the other side of the building and he joined us...
Barbara & John M, Surfer Jim, TW, David K, Baja Angel
Just after John M and crew walked away, Ken Cooke, Frigatebird and friends showed up... see Ken's photo above which Baja Angel took.
As for the Expo... I have over 40 photos to share from today... I will post them in a seperate thread... HERE: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=41876
After the Expo, the John M crew and us met at Chevy's in Ontario for good food and fun talks!
We hoped to see UdoWinkler... looked and looked... Hope he got to check it all out!
Now for next weekend, the Tequila Expo in Tijuana!!!
