Blackie Gejeians 49th Annual Invitational Rod & Custom Show
Fresno Autorama
March 14th, 15th & 16th, 2008
At the So. San Francisco Rod & Custom Show in January, we were honored to be selected by Blackie Gejeian to attend his annual invitational show at Fresno, CA. in mid-March. We spruced up our ’40 Ford convert, loaded the truck and trailer and on a nice warm sunny morning, headed south on the freeway. Some of our fun on these trips is eating out and we began with a great breakfast at one of our favorites, Black Bear Diner in Yreka, Ca. Shasta Dam was the lowest we have ever seen it, we travel with a horde of semi’s and RV’s as the temperature climbs and the sun is a pleasant change from the wintery weather lately in our home town. We decided to take the most direct route and turned onto old Hwy. 99 just south of Sacramento. We hadn’t been this route for a few years so were amazed at all the new construction, shopping plazas and new business along the way. It was a nice change of scenery, we spotted a herd of deer calmly grazing in a field amid several cattle and the roadsides were ablaze with orange and yellow poppies interspersed with purple verbenia flowers. The GPS steered us direct to the host Ramada Hotel on Hwy. 41 where we had ample parking, checked in at 6pm and ate a nice dinner at the in-house café.
