I thought I would updated you about the recent Skyline trip. I'm writing this from an undisclosed location with a yet unnamed VP - security, ya know. The recent events in the area have forced me to take refuge in a hardened bunker. I only ventured out to go to Skyline last weekend., I figured the rangers wouldn't let a cargo van go on the trip with us. I've stopped wearing my polka-dot and Bullseye barbecue shirts - go figure!
This cruise was a blast - 25 Kats - a Miata, PTCrusier and a Jeep for support. I think most had fun, despite no rain. Man, I got to tell ya' that I was sweatin' bullets about Wednesday before the cruise...the BIG R..word was constant thru the weekend. I'll have to thank Mr. Bob Goetz and Bob Silsby for supplying their Harley buddies for most of the cruise, they must have call some buddies to get us some escorts( read...security) for this trip.

Bill Simulcik(Wild Bill) is up to his old pranks - shortsheeted CJ's bed in the cottage and she didn't even notice.

Richard Cherry personally check each and every restroom along the way for cleanliness - Great Job, Richard - Thanks!

Sharon (jersey shore kat shar) provided the fall collage - on her car, for those that couldn't see the leaves changing colors.

Jerry(meancat) Wilson,Jack(just jack)Klein and Karl provided night security by helping close the tavern at night.

Gary(tryplesss) & Diane, Jim and his daughter Nicki LaFontaine, Clay & Linda Ford, Jerry(JeraneW)and Jane Wick were surprised to find everyone was as "normal" as they are - NOT!

Tom & Helena Yaeger had to suffer this trip and drive Mike(KATATAK) & Kim(KimKat) Venezia - "other" Kat

The other KATS on the cruise: Jerry(1HOTCAT)& Annette Naumann, Ron and Sue Clark, Dee and Tom(sosume tom)Kayuha, George(NJSilver)& Chris, Bill (NiteMan) & Lucy Stephens, Bob(RebelBob) & Carol(PtyKity) Silsby, Darcy(lynnpt2001) & Nancy Kline, Dave,Brenda & Craig Mills,Larry (WildCat) & Sue Mayes, Steve(stevedymo) Dymnioski

Thanks to everyone for spending some time with my family!

You, Prowler-Keith and Ed Monohair will have to join us next time.

Your pal!

It sounded like everyone had a good time,,,since the BIG R stayed away. I recognized most of the names attending, but would like to see pictures of each owner next to their cat. Kind of like Niteman ( Bill and Lucy) done in their banner. I'd suggest that in the SUGGESTION BOX FORUM, but since my last post there I feel like the sniper is looking for me.
