  Last Saturday, July 9, 2011, was the 32 Annual Mooning of the Amtrak - the 3rd year after the big police fiasco at the Mooning in 2008.  Lucky and I decided that we are still going to go!

  We met up with Rick (HBRick) and his wife, Debi, at Cook's Corner around 11am.  It was a beautiful day to ride!  The weather was around 80 degrees with a slight breeze and no clouds in the sky.  We ate some grub at Cook's, had a beer and then we were on our way to the Mooning.  Took the canyon to make the ride more scenic and fun. 

  When we got to Mugs Away Saloon in Laguna Niguel (the home of the Mooning of the Amtrak), it was slightly quiet.  Definitely not as many people as three years ago!  The police presence was there and we all felt a little uneasy.  Then we realized that we should have had more beer at Cook's Corner because there was no way we could drink our mixed drinks we brought, and Mugs Away was full to capacity and very crowded and hot inside.  But the police did let us moon with no problem!  Just no open container or other type of nudity.  Damn!  You had to stay inside the fence at the bar to drink...

  

  Lucky and I, along with Rick and Debi, settled on the sidewalk and were ready to moon the first train that came by.  There were more bikers than there were people in cars.  It was like a bike rally, without the usual bike rally fun and games!  There were still plenty of people mooning and the trains did go slow for us.  FUN!!!! 

  

  After about 4 or 5 moonings, we packed up and decided to ride out to Swallow's Inn in San Juan Capistrano for a few beers and some dancing. 

  

  It was a nice day for a ride, moon some trains, and have a beer or two and to hang out with some friends!  We are hoping next year the mooning of the Amtrak will have a few more people!

  Here is a picture from the 2008 Mooning - hopefully we can get a crowd like this again...
