Fitz, Evil Mikiec is going. I'm going to Tucson and run with those guys. I figure there will be less ice on the road and it's going to be about 15 degrees warmer and the distance from my house is about the same. So I'll see you at the do over if you're there.

5 of us showed. 2 went on

to Prescott....I think. No snow until the Restraunt. Piece of cake. Not much traffic either. Weather not bad until Wickenburg then feet got cold.

Hey Fitz,
You Guys are nuts and a bet a little numb. Well how cold was it and who all was in the Numb Nuts Gang? You must have had your top on the car to comment your feet got cold. Jeff C

Oh, by the way... The only car with a top was Lyle's. He went in a t-shirt. Lyle and I went on to Prescott. He went to his brothers I continued on back to Phx. The coldet part of the ride was in Prescott Valley. Temp felt like low 20's. Basically the temps and weaqther were great. I stayed warm the hole time.

Well good on the gang that went up to the snow today. I was not up to par and I hate being cold but I also know a great time was missed.

Mikie the photos turned out really good but it does look a little slippery. Was there any ice on Yarnell or could you dare to let it hang out a bit?

I went out today. 27 degrees here in St. Louis - a bit brisk. A great way to start the new year. Lots of wave, thumbs up, and a nice conversation at at a stoplight. Just another day in the Cobra. Cheers! Club Cobra.

The roads were all clear and dry up to the icy parking lot at the restraurant. Those of us that went to Prescot roads were dry all the way tp Prescott. The Prescott down town was wet but nothing we have not done in the rain. I had a couple of slushy side streets to negotiate as the road going up the hill from the courthouse was closed.

Would I do it again? Yep.

Well, some of us have a broken car. Made a left turn from Brown Rd onto Idaho Rd and broke a tie rod. Glad it didn't happen a little later down the road. Mesa Dave and Karl came and got me.,

Dan,
Any body damage or were you hurt?

Danr55 · #53 (**permalink**) 01-02-2011, 07:29 PM

No.. the car wobbled during the turn and it was a pain to get onto and off of the trailer, but no damage (other than my pride) and no one was hurt. Should have it fixed in time for next week.....if it warms up!

Yeah! A little farther down the road and he would have pulled a Dave S.

Would not have been a pretty site.

mikiec · #55 (**permalink**) 01-03-2011, 06:40 AM

Speaking of Dave S.. Anybody talk to him lately?

Danr55 · #56 (**permalink**) 01-03-2011, 06:57 AM

I saw him at Pavillions a couple of weeks ago. He sounded OK, but didn't look like he was feeling great.
