THE WEEKENDER-For Locals

Rods and Spice

    Cambrians and tourists mark early spring with a bacchanalia like rite of hot rods and hot chili. Restaurants, service organizations and individuals vie for a championship. $10 gets you a spoon and small cup and points you toward the numbered chili dispensers, each touting their unique zest or magic.

  The South Paw chili, using a particular wine were working for an award for showmanship as well. 

These judges deliberate for a set of prizes while the vox populi would ballot for the people's choice.

  The parking lot was lined with dazzle and color. 

   Spring pleasures on California's Pacific Coast highway.

    See you down the trail.

A BOY THING

FOREVER YOUNG

      Late spring/early summer means it's car show time
in California.  From the central coast south and north, the fabled Pacific Coast Highway will vibrate with the creations 
that are classically California.

    California is holy ground for the car culture.  Customizing
is never out of fashion.

   Even though we begin to notice "age" on some of the boys and their gals, it's lost in the shine and gloss of chrome and paint and like so many other things about playful California everything is forever young.

FOR THE REAL FAN

SEE THEM MOVE

See you down the trail.
