Tenino













Gail and I made it to the AMCA meet in Tenino today and had a good time. The swap meet and show were smaller than I remember, but then again that was a lot of years ago.

The thing I liked about it was the people were easy going and the bikes (and the parts for sale) were the focus of every one's attention. No drama, no trailer queens, and no posers in sight.

And although the number of bikes was rather slim, the quality and variety there more than made up for any lack of quantity. We looked at more Indians, Flatties, Knucks, Panheads, and Shovels at Tenino than at any high number, for-the-masses event that we've been to in years, and that alone was a breath of fresh air.

As for taking pictures, the bikes were in no particular area or space. They were kind of just haphazardly hanging out (which was actually pretty cool) and weren't really set up with photography in mind so I didn't really get a lot of full bike pics, but I did get a lot of shots that to me brought about thoughts of days on the road and miles gone by.
