The Ferguson's were my ride and company for a great day of enjoying an amazing show in the sky as well as on the ground.

I spent the day motoring on two wheels on my first ever NW Motor Scooters club ride.

The weather was refreshingly cool and the mellow atmosphere made for a really relaxing time.

I highly recommend stopping by today or this weekend to see the creations that bring some colorful life to this otherwise barren landscape. Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:38:00 -0700
