FOS also share marital bliss! | |

A cold day in January found FOS ready to ride for ice cream and HOT coffee. | |

Do you think we have enough layers to keep warm? | |

Our ride today was windy, cool, but well worth the effort. We made it to the New York Bagel on time, had a fine lunch, (thanks to Don and Sherry Anderson for setting this up) then we were treated to a tour of the Orange Beach Fire Station and training facility (thanks to Randy and Shari Sampson for arranging). |
| |
|
The lounge featured a beautiful hand made US Flag Table, a piece of 9/11 towers steel I-beam, lots of comfy lounges, and a well fortified kitchen. |
| |
|
A beautiful hand-made painting memorializing 9/11. |
| |
|
And a tour of the Training multi-floor smoke and fire building. It's comforting to know OB has a very adequate EMS/FIRE force to deal with all emergencies, land and water, and yes, on the trail.. |
| |
|
Kayaking on the Magnolia River with 16 paddlers on a beautiful. We are gaining many new Paddlers and we'll be exploring many launch sites this Winter. Don and Sherry Anderson on the right trying an inflatable two person kayak, there still talking to each other last we knew. |

|
Only spot on any rivers in this area that's actually clear as a bell. Perfect but shallow. |
| |
|
Lunch is always enjoyed by the typical FOS kayakers. Nobody shared either. |
| |
|
A wonderful, classy, scenic FOOD CRAFT luncheon. Total enjoyment and great fun after a very cool days ride. |

Jim and Karen finally made it down Christmas Day, so thankful to be at Gulf Shores. |

The new Picnic Beach resturaunt, a fun place to eat and enjoyed by all, even had healthy food options. |

Our gathering group gets larger each time we meet, despite cooler temps. Almost every type of bike is present in that group. |
