Arcadia, OK gtg

[Fallon]

What a blast! Great to meet you Jacob, Kathryn, John, Leona, Emily, and Antoine! Randi, I'm so sorry you couldn't make it! We missed you! I got a few okay pics, I'm hoping John and Antoine got some much better ones. Still kicking myself for leaving the good camera at home. Either way, it was the best first get together I could've had! Can't wait for the next one. Thanks everyone!


I think Antoine was telling everyone how big the fish he caught was...


There they all are! From left to right, John/SixChuter's Lily, John/SixChuter's friend Emily's bug, my Ziggy, Antoine/Marvin's Dad's Marvin, Kathryn/Hyakugojyuuichi's Wilson, and Jacob/Beetlemania's Paul McCartney.


It's Marvin in my mirror!

Everyone chatting in the shade.


It's a Herbie hanging out of the building! you could go inside and sit in it and look out.

Everyone arriving at the round barn.

We had a great time today. Was a little hotter than we had hoped for but I think everyone enjoyed themselves. Had a couple of reunions with old friends and met a few new ones.

Sweet pics.. I remember the round barn from when I lived in Oklahoma and would go visit my aunt and uncle.. We would drive by the barn..

[marvins_dad]

Yeah, sorry we didn't get to meet you Randi!

I wasn't sure if I was going to make it until the last minute...glad I was able to make the trip. Was nice to get away for 12 hours and hang out with some beetle folk.

Here are all my photos...

BTW Fallon - you should be my official photographer. Most of the time I dread seeing pics of myself from events, because I am usually not aware and my gut is all sticking out. But your pics make me look skinny. LOL

Great pics! I wish I still had a NB and local peeps were as cool as you guys. Nice to see familiar faces, and Hi Jacob!

[Mazzzja]

Cool photos
That barn is along Route 66?
If so, then I must've seen it

Hi Jacob!

HA! I try.

Llona took these driver/car shots. We're going to work on the "cutting off the feet" thing.

This fellow is the storyteller at the Round Barn. As you can tell by the photo, he is quite animated.

[SixChuter]

Just to finish up this thread I'd like to post just a few more pics and thank everyone for meeting us in Arcadia. Thanks for coming up with the idea for a great GTG, Randi! Sorry you didn't make it, Oh Randi. Hopefully George will cooperate next time. Next planned GTG will be in October. I hope we see you all on the Talimena.

Regarding the driver/car shots, I know some of them, but how about identifying everyone for those who don't know them?

Red is me, Randi/Fallon.
PS, Jacob looks like he's listening very intently to my story. That or he's in pain. Not sure.

I think it was generic - no brand affiliated.

That's a special building though! Quite a feet of engineering.
