This is the entry site of Turkey, TX.

“Ah-Haa” is a sound of pleasure that Bob Wills made popular in his music. Turkey and the area made us want to join him with a big “Ah-Haa”. The weekend went well.

Martin Stafford and Don Henry planned this weekend and rides.

We stayed at Hotel Turkey’s accommodations. Several had rooms in the hotel and the rest used their RV campsites.

9 scooters on the road to Clarendon through the Caprock landscape.

Keith Floyd’s shop in Clarendon. He provided a delightful tour of the Donley County Courthouse, a lunch, and the opportunity to meet his local friends and neighbors.

Cooling in the shade at Estelline on the way back. Notice that Ted Grisham joined the group. He drove from Midland “because Martin likes to RIDE”.

Need a scooter unloaded? Look at all the willing men.

Thanks, Margaret Trevino, for the pictures.

Water Valley park was the site for 11 campers for this year’s “Ride to Eat”.

13 Scooters were ready to be ridden on Friday morning. Weather was beautiful and breakfast was just over the Divide. At lease 22 people made the early morning run to the Another Place Cafe in Robert Lee.

Ben Sargent, Richard Kesselus, Chrysti and Raymond Love 

Then on Saturday the COLD front hit. 11 tough riders began the ride to Cristoval, Tx to have lunch at Cooper’s Bar-b-que. 11 scooters and we had 32 there for lunch. (You do the math to discover the ones who stayed warm!)

Note the 53 degrees temperature.

It is never a REAL Cushman meet without ice cream. These 2 were our “Scoopermen” of the day.

Ben Sargent then cooked breakfast for the group on Sunday morning.

It is always a joy to have the group together.

Thanks to Sharon Henderson for the pictures.

Here’s a billboard with their “Welcome to Snyder” artwork.

For grins, here is a look at the Coliseum today. What’s wrong with this picture? 

Dirt floor! There will be a rodeo this weekend. Don’t faint! It will be clean and ready for us in October.

Just start planning for a wonderful time of riding with the Club.

Joan Wyatt sent more pictures from the 2017 Carmine meet.

Thanks to her, we see more members and “happenings”. 

James and Jane Press welcomed Texas Cushman riders to their home for their annual ride. On Thursday morning, 15 scooters took off for a tour of the area. After driving through the country side via Burton,  we stopped at Lake Somerville, then into Somerville for lunch.  The ride was about 85 miles and enjoyed by all.

Saturday morning dawned with rain falling. 30 people gathered for Jane’s breakfast feast. 

No riding but the visiting was in high gear! 

What a great way to begin 2017 Cushman season.

Plan to see you all in Bastrop for the Central Texas ride.
