First stop in Lodi to draw a card for our poker hand

Became friends with Doreen and Les ~ great Indian!

Stopped for a quick break in Farmington

Putt'in down Hwy 4 at 60 mph

Food break at Copperopolis. Drew second card, not gonna win this hand!

A picture break by Lake Tullock

Stop at Harley Davidson Jamestown ~ drew another card.
Next stop to draw cards ~ Oakdale, but not time to take pics had to hurry to make it by 2:00 for the drawings!

Final stop in Modesto at Hospices on Bangs. Larry's work, Mt. Valley was one of the sponsors. Over 400 bikes were on the run, plus a few trucks! Last card drawn ~ not a winner :(

BBQ at Melissa. Just think these three great kids produced 15 blessings for us!

We were in the news paper cuz we are twins! The Article reads: "Speaking of Twins . . . Mrs. George Tritchler says 'What one doesn't think of, the other ones does.' This applies to her three year olds, Ellen and Helen. Mrs. Tritchler is see here with the twins and Jennie, who is ten years and attends a fifth grade class at the Intermediate school, and Fred, who is 14 years old and an eight grader. The Tritchlers reside at 1609 F street. Grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. E.R Williams of Mill Valley and Mrs. Bramlet of Latonville."
