O'Neil Park Tour

This tour started out like all tours, we left Long Beach on our way to O’Neill Park.  Some of our members were lost within the first 5 miles.  Wrong turns.  We all got together again and were on our way.  Up Chapman Ave. and over the hills, past Irvine Lake.  It was a great day for a tour, sun shining.   

About 3 miles from the park Howard broke an axle going up a hill. He stooped to let cars go buy and when he went to take off his wheel fell off.  Talk about lucky, another 50 yards and he would have been traveling down a step hill. 

We had a nice lunch and got Howard off with a tow truck.  On the way back home Stan had break trouble with his Rocky Mountain brakes, smoke was coming out on the right rear.  He adjusted them and we were off again.  Coming over the top of another hill John Hinton was stopped with Jim and Karen Davis.  John had a rod knock.  Another tow truck as called.  Jim and Karen Davis, the Leroux’s and John waited two hours for a tow truck.  It was a long day for our short tour, but everyone got home safe and had fun.  Where can you have two guys break down, smile, and thank you for putting on a good tour?  The people in this club are great. 

Thanks to everyone that came out on this tour.  For those that missed this fun day, toooo bad!  But don’t worry; you will have another chance to tour with us in November when we deliver Thanksgiving baskets to the some deserving families of Tucker Elementary School. 

I hope to see you at this worthwhile event.
