Everyone was looking forward to this run to Palm Springs.  It was a beautiful morning in So Cal

without a cloud in the sky.  A handful of us in the OC met up in Irvine,  the LA group met up and

headed to Chino for biscuits and gravy, while the SD group headed to the first meet point in Moreno Valley.

Everyone was on time and we invaded the Chevron station.

It is so much fun going from meet point to meet point and seeing more and more friends come

together.

After a quick drivers meeting, we hit the road to meet up with Desert clan.

Welcome to the club Michael and Sarafina !!

It was a fast stop here before making the Snake line up to the Palm Springs Tram

This is one of my favorite sights....seeing a long line of Snakes

Seeing red

The less fit took the shuttle up to the tram station

While the thoroughbreds hoofed it up the hill....make that HUFFED it up the hill !

It was quite a sight to see the tram descending from the Heavens

Doc looked a bit worried as all 65 of us loaded into the tram.....I hope that cable doesn't break!

As we made the 14 minute ascent to the top of the mountain, the floor in the tram slowly rotated

giving everyone a 360 degree view.

The best part of the ride up was at each of the tower stations where the tram would

rise, swing and drop causing your stomach to get that tickle.

The SoCal Viper Club made their exit and headed to the chow line

Our tickets included a delicious lunch at the top of the mountain.

Happy Belated Birthday Paul !

After lunch, we headed out to the observation deck where the views were spectacular.

Marcela and Matt drove all the way from Las Vegas to join us.

It was a great day out with friends and family and memories to last a lifetime.

Thank You as always to Dan and Cathy for putting so  much effort into another flawless

event !
