Great pics groove. My camera person was slacking off big time this trip!

Great pics Groove! It felt like it took forever to get to Belmont ('cause it did!) but the day really started to flow from there. Very nice!

I know it's not for everyone but Belmont looks awesome to me

Great pics! I definitely want to visit the Peter Tosh memorial.

Nice job on the pics n prose, loving every bit. Good to see all dem boardies.

Flip, Michael, kaycee, bjritz, Chris.....thanks for the props....



the excursion continues...

we load up from belmont beach and head towards lovers leap...It is gonna be a long ride...everyone has their own buzz going, so lots of jokes and things going on...we sneak in a bite or two of subs every chance we get, it is all good....we stop a couple of times for smoke and bathroom breaks.. and and the cooler is again loaded with beer and punch...this time we bought a variety pack of beer...lol...a lots of it...I don't think know how much fun the other bus was having, but ours was making the best of a long drive...I do know that the other bus didnt like stopping as much as we did, but hey, cigs to be smoked and subs to be eaten, lol...and you know how it is when drinking adult bevs and roadtrips, what goes in, has to come back out...lol....

well the other bus decided that they wanted to go ahead, and we would just catch them at lovers leap....ok, cool with us...see yall soon

back from my walk, beer iced down in the cooler, tunes on the radio, Chicken laughing and joking, and here we go....

As I said earlier, the other bus took off and was gonna meet us there...they were tired of waiting on us....I'm not sure how long we were driving, 30-45 minutes, when chicken got a phone call and started laughing....he stays on the phone and around a couple corners, he laughs again and points....there is the other on the side of the road, with a cop writing him a ticket...we ask what is going on, and he says he wasnt wearing his seatbelt...our driver was, and always did....so we start to pull over and everyone yells to keep going....so we continue on....about 5-10 minutes later, we arrive at lovers leap....

It is a beautiful place...these photos do not do it justice, as it doesn't capture how far down below it really is....but here goes a few pics

there is a story about lovers leap, but since i didnt really hear what the guide was telling us, I say that I think 2 lovers were being told they could not be together and jumped to their death...typical love story...blah, blah, blah....let's load up and get to some excitement....hehehe....imma gonna go take a walk, and take more pics....there looks to be a good sub station on the roof, I'll try it.....


last few pics from lovers leap,...
