A photographer from the ZOOM newspaper will be there too.

ALERT

Sorry Folks.

I just found out they are not leaving McClellan AFB until 5:30 PM
so they won't be out to Prairie City overpass until around 5:45 - 6:00 PM. Pass it on...
Sorry

Cal, how will we be able to identify the entourage? Will there be a police escort? Or do we just look for a hearse from the funeral home?

I think they will have a police escort and there will be a lot
of vehicles and motorcycles if I am not mistaken. They should
all have their lights on and on the right side of the road.
But maybe at that time of the day they may all be in the carpool
lane. Not sure.

Again, I am sorry about this but the time has changed.
Not sure the newspaper reporters and photographers will be
out there now. I did try to let them know, but???

I will be riding in the motorcycle escort during this procession. Yes, we are not leaving McClellan until 5:30 p.m. We are expected to pass Silva Valley Elementary and Rolling Hills Middle Schools between 6-6:30 p.m. In fact all EDH schools have had their Back To School nights postponed due to this event.

I don't think we can be more exact than that due to traffic and other unexpected delays. I would suspect we'd pass under the Prairie City overpass between 5:45 and 6:00 p.m.

You'll know us when you see us. It should be a very, very good turnout.

Good catch, I didn't mean him while he was riding his
motorcycle, maybe someone else along with them.

Thanks everyone that turned out.

There was a great turn out at Prairie City Road overcrossing.
I would think between 80 - 100 people showed up with their support.

Folsom Fire was their and they flew their large flag. I think the Folsom PD was there too. There was a lot of flags waving and waving to the people as they went under the overpass.

I think there must have been 50-70 motorcycles along with all the other vehicles.

Again, I personally want to thank everyone for their support.
Good showing Folsom.


Did any of you go to the Scott Road overcrossing?

If so how did it go?

Saw the procession on the news. Really good turn out. Really can't believe all the pretentious self-centered people on the freeway that didn't pull over for the procession. Some looked like they moved over one lane and tried to keep up with the procession. People suck.
