July 15th: Austin Ranch Campout Calendar of Upcoming Events PREZ SEZ PINE VALLEY MOUNTAIN RIDERS June 2007 Hello again. Boy, has the time been flying by. Summer has shown itself and it looks like a fun summer is to be had. I m looking forward to the campout at the Austin Ranch. It has proven to be a good time each time we ve camped there. Please set the time aside to be there. am looking forward to. There has been a great deal of time and work put into this ride to ensure it is a success. Please get your payments in by June 1st and be there for this fun filled event. CRSPIA has a great plan for us all to enjoy, including the dance and meals. I ve had a few people ask about the chuck wagon. They are interested in sponsoring it at our campouts. The concern is, all the little things like using it. I assured them that if they are willing to get the chuck wagon to a campout, plan and get the meals, there will be more help than they will need. After having done it a couple times, I figure if I can do it, anyone can. No, seriously, thank you for volunteering and help will be there for you!!! Our Trail Boss led our Ice Cream Social Ride on May 20th. From what I heard, it was a great success. I wish I could have made it, but we had family in and many things to get done before this holiday weekend. PVMR has conducted its first meeting at the Buckel's Ranch for It was a good showing of members, but it would be nice to see more of you. Harry and Joanie do a lot to prepare for us and it would be great to be there to enjoy their hospitality. (He has new birds in the birdhouse.) I hope to see you at the next meeting, June 13th. The Jack Ass Mail Ride is just around the corner. Another event I Latest news from Ernie is that there have been a number of additions to the web site and things are moving along well. His last message was Haze Grey and Underway. That s an old Navy term for it is up and running. Please check it out at: and if you have any ideas that may be of help to us all, share them with us.
