Sunday Cruise Photos (not dialup friendly)

[jdando]

Hey gang! A few of the photos from our Meet and Cruise. I had about 48meg of photos, here are some of the highlights!

The starting point was the drive-in Porkys. Four of us braved the drizzle and clouds.

SuperFord3 showed up with his DPB Marauder, my camera does not do the blue justice:help:

Sunshine and 70 degrees greeted us at the Minnetonka Drive In. Grifter and VikingMM had secured the front row which we promptly filled with Marauders.

A short cruise over to Lake Minnetonka and then the total chaos of trying to arrange a group photo at a boat landing. Carrie did a super job of color coordination and getting us lined up.

Yours truly, leading the way to 2nd and 3rd stops of the day.

The best comment of the day was from a lady at the park/boat launch, "Are we okay? All of a sudden there are all these big black cars, are you the CIA or something? Is something wrong here (at the park)" I wish I could of told her in a straight face, "No Maam, we are Men In Black, Protecting the Earth from the Scum of the Universe". But alas I was not that whitty and told her we were MM.net.

Thanks to Carrie for capturing the action shots along I-394 :banana2:(and for not dropping my camera out the window!)


Next time we will have MROGERC join us so we can get all four colors on the shores of Lake Minnetonka.

Did anyone else see the Wayzata cop on Hwy 12 in the new Dodge Charger?. Lucky for me I was right at 65 mph.:)

[Grifter]

This happened in very very late March.
