Here's is John Strawser Travels in West of Pecos.....

The Summer Swing is under way. The High Plains Drifter is now in situate in the 7,000 ft. Davis Mts. astride the Trans-Pecos Plateau, 500 miles west of Dallas, 200 miles east of El Paso, and 80 miles north of the Mexican border. And the stars are out here. Mt. Locke is the home of the University of Texas McDonald Observatory, and the nearby Prude Ranch is hosting the annual Texas Star Party. Enjoy the pics. I'm particularly pleased with the grip and greet photo with Brother Guy Consolmagno SJ, on Hawaiian shirt day at the Star Party. Brother Guy is a graduate of MIT, and the Keeper of the Pope's Vatican City State meteorite collection. His presentation that evening titled "Pluto and Planets X: Is Pluto a Planet? And Why Does It Matter" was very well received. Have Fun..John..from your friends in Central Penn Unit

Here is our new sign??? Made from Kisses,Easter Eggs & Alphabet Pretzels!!! What do you think?? Can you tell we had fun this weekend?? Wish you that missed it could have been here! As always we had plenty to eat and do around this area for the weekend. Thursday was HOT then Friday turned to a freezer day,down to the 50's. I even turned on the furnace this weekend.

What a relaxing Kayak Ride across the water

Koreny's Home base for the winter!!

We have arrived home after several weeks of Airstream travel. We spent 4 weeks in Key Largo, kayaking and bike riding. On the way down we stopped at Land Yacht Harbor in Melbourne, FL, ran into Bill and Joan who suggested that we might enjoy Grayton Beach State Park in the Florida panhandle. We did. Maybe it wasn't the smartest choice to see the panhandle in the coldest winter in 20 years but we enjoyed it anyway. The kayaking was good, the bike riding was wonderful. There is a paved multi-use trail which runs for miles, we rode 10 miles in each direction on different days. We especially enjoyed riding around looking at the awesome architecture in the towns of Watercolor, Seaside, Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach, some of which also had bike trails. On our way to the panhandle, we went kayaking with friends in Ichetucknee Springs where six manatees joined us and I managed to get an underwater photo. As we headed home, we diverted our trip to stay 3 nights in Top of Georgia, a WBCCI Airstream Park, where we will definitely visit again. While there, we hiked in Tallulah Gorge State Park, all 1,099 steps down and back! Looking forward to seeing everyone in Indian Rock in a couple of weeks!

Lea Boyer passed away on Feb.12,2010 in Georgia. This is all the info I have, as I recieve more I will post it.
My Thoughts..... Lea & Anne met us at the York Rally(1990) and took us under their arm and care for the entire weekend. Making sure we were having fun..We did the road rally search and as Lea as driver, me as co-pilot.. Anne and Carol as backseat navigators, We traveled York County looking for answers to road questions along the way. Later at the evening ceromonies we were sworn in by "Stubby" Region 2 Pres. and Lea and Anne were by our side. Oh Yes!! We also won the Road Rally..Yea Lea and the gang!! What a sweet couple to carry us into the Airstream World of Travel..
Then Lea became President for the 1992 year ..what a leader!! Anne was there to guide him along the way! We went on a caravan to Canada taking 4 days to get there. We went to The Statue of Liberty Rally Too. Then The International was in Dayton,OH. That year. On a Caravan to Ohio with other Presidents from the Region , Lea offered to cut the watermelon snack one day, would you believe he cut right thru the fellow caravaner's table cloth...lots of laughs there. There were so many special memories of the Boyers that year. 21 club members went to Ohio, thats alot compared to today's count.
I for one will miss the Boyers in the club, the SWEETEST COUPLE ..I know!! God Bless Lea ...and be with Anne during this time! Dennis & Carol Ober #2590
