Peeps,
Here's a tribute to the idea that Pink Floyd's dark side of the moon mysteriously references the wizard of oz movie when you turn off the movie soundtrack and start the album on the last roar of the MGM lion. Fact or fiction, you decide, but the facts concerning the WCR speak for themselves .....enjoy

Very nice Andy, two days of pissing rain here and seeing the 2014 WCR from your lens is priceless. It was good to see the faces again and begs me to make 2015... Nothing better than making memories like WCR memories...

Thanks for the memories, Andy. I remember how excited that kid was at all the FJ's. Probably a future rider..

Great video Andy. :good: The music was incredibily fitting for me  :rofl:. I definitely was not in Kansas anymore.   :good2:

I am so glad that I decided to attend and meet such wonderful people. I can't wait to see a few of the west coaster's again  in June.

Many thanks for all the positive comments folks. Hopefully they'll encourage those yet to experience a rally to clear their diary for the 2015 special.
I heard it's going to be even better than the last one.

Thank you Andy, very cool as usual..

I believe the West Coast Rally set the record for most FJ's in attendance  (24)
I counted only 23 in the video because Steve (in Florida) missed the line up...
He was out scouting locations of Gentleman's  Clubs....slim pickings in Willits...so I've heard.
