Raven's Roads
Living an interesting life: the travels and musings

As promised, here are some more parade piccies. :)

This group surprised me! A rather good bagpipe band marched and piped their way down the street.

Later, they were to be heard making tunes in and around the city.

I’m not sure who this lady was, but she looked like a mountie and was perched way up high on that horse.

Not to be outdone, the Army towed a helicopter down the street. Here is photographic proof.

Then came the monocyclists, whirling and twirling! Really excellent.

I chatted to this kid a bit later; it took him three weeks to get the knack. Apparently you put all your weight on the seat, not on the pedals like with a bicycle.

This man was leading a mule train, presumably as a living history exhibit. He took them round in some really tight circles.

There were a bunch of old cars tootling away, some with “California historic vehicle” plates. Primer is good too. ;)

The Clampers had a purple fire truck, because they could! Alas, I couldn’t find it later–I wanted to talk to their plaque-master.

And finally, another round of cheers and appreciation for the other kind of hero–our firefighters.
