On Saturday, we left in a group to go to Rice Pavilion in Gulfport to get a couple people registered. We all got parked in the lot and we had 19 Prowlers lined up in one row. As we left, Big-Boyz Toys interviewed and filmed all of us as we went in front of their stage area (they will have a CTC video for sale $20). By the time we got through and ready to head out we had picked up two more Kats (now 21). We're now heading east toward Ocean Springs (12 miles from Gulfport). And, the traffic is bumper to bumper in both directions. After we get on Hwy 90 (Beach Road) we're strung out over a mile. So, Our first group pulls over at one of the beach turnout sites and wait for the other Prowlers. Once they catch up we now formed a double line and start leading the parade. We stayed in this formation for 10 miles all the way to Ocean Springs. And, during this we picked up three more Prowlers and now were up to 24.
Some guy on a motorcycle gets in front of us and acts like a police escort. He really got into it... He would wave us along swerve in & out... We would stop at green lights just to make sure the group stayed together (cruising 25 to 30 mph)... It was one long parade being led by an awesome site of two rows of 12 Prowlers... A few of my friends who saw us either on the road or in Ocean Springs said it was very impressive display ... Lots of horn honking and wavin' ...

I wondered where the motorcycle dude came from. Guess we
made his day.
