NW Okie's Ramblings

The thunder and rumblings of cyclists and classic cars thundered down Main Avenue in Durango, Colorado this Sunday, Labor Day weekend of September 2010. This is just a taste of what NW Okie and David saw Sunday. We all have our own favorite old classic cars and hot rods. These two classic hotrods are my favorites. What are yours?

The two cyclists heading the motorcycle pack was former U.S. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, his wife, Linda Campbell. Following behind, dressed in traditional native dress and war bonnet was Bennett Thompson, who just moments before had delivered a blessing to the bikers.

Young and old lined the Main Avenue while the Classic Cars lead the motorcyclists on this September, 2010 Labor Day, Rally in the Rockies. You could hear and see them as far up as Vallecito Reservoir as they thundered along the county roads and highways leading through Ignacio, Bayfield and Durango, in Southwest Colorado. We did not get down to Ignacio, Colorado to check out those cyclists gathering, though.

I particularly loved the group of heavy female cyclists with their uniform leather jackets with pink lettering (of which I had a hard time reading) as they rumbled down Durango's Main Avenue. I did not get a photo of them as they passed, but I loved them all the same. Impressive group of ladies! Would not want to mess with them. Way to go ladies!



We are cruising out of here listening to Kingston Trio's version of a traditional cowboy trail song, Colorado Trail!

Happy Birthday to J. T. "TY" Colon (September 7)!   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
