RV Enthusiasts,
Our Nov. 1 "RendezVous Warm-Up" turned out to be a Great Success! Once more,
Mother Nature completely fooled the National Weather Service and delivered a
beautiful, mostly sunny, day. Much to our delight, the forecasted light rain
came early the night before and dampened the various fires near Los Angeles.
We woke up to mostly blue skies, some puffy cumulus clouds, light winds, and
super clear visibility!
Seven superb RVs (2 RV-6s, 2 RV-6As, 1 RV-7, 1 RV-8, and 1 RV-8A) attended
from as far north as Rosamond (Paul and Victoria Rosales) and as far south as
Corona (Chuck Miller). Despite the remaining fires, the nearby TFR, and some
weather south toward San Diego, it was nice day with good VFR access to Cable
Airport. Paul Rosales reported that the line of clouds over the mountains north
of Los Angeles proved to have many gaps. Paul and Victoria had no problem
getting through. At total of approximately 50 people attended our Warm-Up.
Of course, we were disappointed that the RendezVous delay to next Saturday,
Nov. 8, limited our Warm-Up attendance yesterday, but those who came enjoyed a
great time. If our Warm-Up is any indication, next Saturday's SoCAL RV
RendezVous promises to be OUTSTANDING!!! As of now, the long-range forecast for
next Saturday is a 40% chance of showers. This is good news! If yesterday is
any indication, the Upland weather will actually be mostly sunny with some puffy
cumulus clouds and super visibility with light winds! Stay Tuned!
Some photos of our RendezVous Warm-Up are loaded in our group's photo album
at http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/SoCAL-RVlist/lst. Check out photos 25
to 31. Note that photos 29 to 31 were taken as Gary Sobek, Gary Hart, and
Paul Rosales treated us to some beautiful formation flying! Ultimately, the best
parts of the "Warm-Up" were the terrific "RVers" attending. Flyers,
builders, friends, and family all had a great time! We're all looking forward to the
"Big" SoCAL RV RendezVous next Saturday, Nov. 8!
