O.C. Cruisin 2009

---

I was lucky enough to be able to do the O.C. Cruisin this year while riding around in my buddy's Rat Rod. We did the normal stuff which entailed the convention center parking lot and the inlet parking lot, but by far the most fun was the "Rods and Rockers" car show that we found at the Steer Inn Tavern off of Racetrack Rd. It was a blast! There was a "Lucky 13" fashion show, pinup contest, pin-striper, and some really cool hot rods and rat rods. Let's not forget the $12 deal all you could eat and drink (draft beer or soda) and the Rockabilly band that performed later that night.

Behind the Tavern and behind the gravel parking lot is a very tranquil picnic area with the owner's chickens roaming around throughout the visitors.

The beard and funky hat just draws them right in I guess.
