Attempted lunch at Harris Ranch


Got to to "co-pilot" with Pavlo today. And by "co-pilot" I mean close the door and enjoy the ride. Today's trip was a flight to Harris Range in Coalinga CA for lunch. First we flew up the coast to King City for a touch and go landing then over the Diablo mountain range to Coalinga. We arrived on the smallest runway I have ever seen. It's about 2500 feet long and maybe 40' wide. Sounds big until you're trying to land on it. We arrived looking forward to burgers for lunch, but with a 35 minute wait, that wasn't going to happen. So we settled for some cashews and a Snapple from the shell station and took off to SLO. Took a few decent pictures along the way. Click here to check them out.

Long wait for lunch so had some cashews and a snapple and heading back to SLO. Pictures later.

Bike hash in SLO.

Missed the first 2 beer stops. Hoping the on in has more and better beer!

Honeymooners!

Congratulations to Hugh and Alett on Tying the knot! For those of you who don't know this lovely couple(pictured having dinner at the famous Madonna Inn), they are good friends, hashers, and Reach the Beach team mates from Boston. They are in the middle of a fantastic honeymoon which so far has included a week of racing, kayaking, and sight seeing in Hawaii, reuniting with a lost cousin in San Francisco, and chillin' with the fishes on the Monterey aquarium.


Just when you thought that the honeymoon could not get any better, they stop for a night in SLO Cal to hangout with me. We had a very interesting dinner at the Madonna Inn. Food and converstaion was great, as for the the decour, well it must be seen to be believed... Below is a picture of the lovely newly weds at what I can only assume is the best moment of the honeymoon if not their entire marriage so far.

Congratulations to the Hallowells!!!!
