Wed, Mar 9
Got up after a very good sleep, but the weather wasn't cooperating - it was raining
fairly steadily. Finally unhitched the truck and drove out for a few supplies.
Came back to the Cabbage Patch in time for the Motorcycle Jumping Cole Slaw
Wrestling events. Boyd was getting his ususal attention. Thought about going back
to Main Street to see Big Mike Griffin, but the weather just wasn't good enough.
Saw more bands and the T-shirt contest before heading over to
another party at the campground and then turning in for the night.
Thu, Mar 10
Spent another morning at the Cabbage Patch before riding over to Gilly's Pub 44
with Boyd. Saw several good bands and the Midget Wrestling.
Boyd was a big hit (as usual), and I had many free beers thanks to his ability
to open them. Went back to camp to put Boyd to bed
(he was very tired from a busy day)
and to get ready to go downtown for Big Mike Griffin
that night. Got to Main Street about 9:00 and went straight over to the
Full Moon Saloon. First band up was the Trunk Band, followed by an excellent
show by Big Mike Griffin. Bought some CDs (which he autographed), and danced
until the wee hours before a chilly ride back to camp and bed.
Fri, Mar 11
Got up quickly and took the truck out for a few more supplies, then came back and made
myself a good breakfast. Wandered around the Cabbage Patch (saw more cycle jumping,
and Chocolate Syrup Wrestling), and then headed back to Pub 44 with Boyd for more music
and beer. Went back to Cabbage Patch to put Boyd to bed, then partied most of the night
with my neighbors - 4 army helicopter pilots.
Sat, Mar 12
Got up very slowly, made some breakfast, and took a short photo-shoot ride with
Christian and John. One last sweep around the Cabbage Patch before finishing packing up.
Headed out around 1:00 pm for the ride home. Headed west to avoid the huge crowd and traffic
that was coming in for round 2 of the Cole Slaw Wrestling. Made it into South Carolina
before pulling over at a truck stop to spend the night.
Sun, Mar 13
Headed out around 9:00 and made it home around 4:00. Boyd was very good on the way home, and got very excited when he recognized our neighborhood.
