They were still there last night when I left. Must have snuck out early in the morning. It could be the 80% rain and thunderstorm forecast.

Since most of us had been camping since the pre-event it was time to head home on Friday since the forcast did not look good for the weekend.

Peter Lynn makes banners and that is one of his pilot kites.

...and it was being flown in the area of a tall man who looks just like Peter Lynn. Either his clone was flying kites, or it was Peter Lynn.

Now what about the Phantom in the Halloween colors. Never have seen one in the bright orange and black before. I was having fun chasing them powered with a Charger until I realized one of my axle bolts was loose.

Well, we went looking for the group at San Luis Pass since the wind had shifted somewhat and found nobody there either. So we just unloaded everything and had the place nearly to ourselves. 3 buggies, 2 landboards, 5 buggiers and 3 kids made for a great time. Started sprinkling about 1230 and thats when we packed it up and got out of there.

Excellent winds and buggy runs! I got most on my helmet cam. Including what should be a spectacular wipeout as the cam was rolling the entire time. Downloading it now.

Thanks everyone as we had a great time and got home about 40 minutes ago.

I'm still here. 717 515 2528. Give me a call if anyone is going to buggy and where. Moving out of the house this morning, not sure where I will stay tonight but will surely loose my internet connection, I have Dean's van so my options are open....20mph expected for today. A couple of us will be out on the beach. Look for the white van with Deans buggies on the back.... Tomorrow, Monday is suppose to be 12mph and is my last day. I can buggy alone, but prefer some company, I fly out tomorrow night...I have the entire Monday....
