Nice pictures. Looks like it was a beautiful day in the hills.
Happy Birthday, Mary! You were born less than a month after I started my current job.

Well, I don't quite know why but everyone seemed convinced that the wind was too much of an impediment and they turned back. I just kept going and other than a few corners where the wind was strong it was a very nice ride. I made it to Red Box ok and after a short rest went on up to Wilson. The climb to Wilson was completely calm and it was great up there.I could see the snow covered mtns. of Baldy and even the San Bernardino mtns. as well. Sorry the rest of the group quit before the miracle but the story of "Chicken Little" came to mind. The wind is blowing, the wind is blowing.
