That is a crap load of rain. You could put boat exhaust on it and you would be gtg LOL

**Palf70Step** · 08-15-2016, 05:48 PM

It wasn't too bad here (that amount is normal for heavy rains). Unfortunately some board members in Baton Rouge didn't fair so well. I am pretty sure one, his truck went completely under water. Waiting to here back from some when they get to go back to their homes

**clemdaddy** · 08-15-2016, 06:01 PM

happy you guys are ok in the heavy rains... send some my way, we could use it.

**Palf70Step** · 08-15-2016, 07:11 PM

I'm sure the LA guys would have done it gladly.

**Palf70Step** · 09-04-2016, 06:33 PM

Cruising time again with the Mule. We headed over to Louisiana, just north of Baton Rouge to a place called St Francisville. Mule cruise well, although some of the ride was very rough. Some day I need to get in there and change that speedo gear so it reads right

Only one I caught up with on the way was the cook truck. I guess I should look into a big block since all I could catch up with is a stock 30 Model a:

**Palf70Step** · 09-04-2016, 06:35 PM

As usual, good time with good friends and great food. Some people and trucks were missing because of the floods, but still had a nice gathering.

**Palf70Step** · 09-04-2016, 06:39 PM

some more. Our Master Chef and the Jambalaya.

**Palf70Step** · 09-04-2016, 06:44 PM

Some more of the spread and just waiting for the women folks to last us at the food.

Last picture is one of our flood victims, but the good new is that it is alive again. She was flushed out on the drive train and so far she is good. It runs and drives good, just some wiring and a wet seat to get figure out.

The mule ran great, Saturday, about 350 miles for the day.

**Palf70Step** · 10-02-2016, 06:55 PM

Today started our annual Cruising the Coast event. 8 days of cool cars and trucks. Here is a few of fthe trucks I took today

CTC Day 1

Since I know you need a few teasers here is the mule and another that might peak your interest.

Hopefully I'll get more loaded later. It takes a while to sort thru 1300 pictures, plus doing hospital time.

lower50's · 10-03-2016, 11:27 PM

Wow there is a ton of nice vehicles there. How far is the drive for the "Cruising the Coast" Where do you end up?

**Palf70Step** · 10-04-2016, 07:43 AM

The venues are across the entire cost. About 70 miles. You just go to various events at the different locations each day as you feel the need. There is a big swap meet and poker type run Thursday-Saturday.

This is seriously on my bucket list.

Great updates Bill, thank you.

I do like the look of the green patina 60-66 truck

Dodge in background got my attention too.

**Palf70Step** · 10-09-2016, 07:59 AM

Well heading into the last day of Cruising the Coast. Today is mostly the closing ceremonies and awards. Total registered 7957 vehicles. It broke last year by over 300. Add another 5 or 6K of unregistered vehicles and it was heaven to me.

**Palf70Step** · 10-09-2016, 08:01 AM

Some of the Mule's kinfolk

**Palf70Step** · 10-09-2016, 08:02 AM

**Palf70Step** · 10-09-2016, 08:15 AM

Last batch

Last 2 are the group of us that hung out most of the week together. It has been great and the Mule went without a hitch. Spent our time working on pretty much everyone else though.

northern 85 · 10-09-2016, 08:40 AM

Wow some beautiful stuff thanks for all the pictures!!!

smbrouss70 · 10-10-2016, 05:21 PM

WOO HOO! I'm glad you got photographic evidence that the Blazer really did make it there... before I blew the trans Monday night!
