Wednesday afternoon the field started filling up. We ended up with only about 40 people. |
CalStar 2024 Can't remember the name of the fellow on the left. Seated: Randy, Bill and Steve. |
CalStar 2024 One evening for dinner, Randy set up his gas-powered pizza oven and treated us to pizza. What a treat! the fellow in the lower-right is Dan. He cooks up breakfast for all at the Fall CalStar. |

CalStar 2024 One morning we had a valley full of fog. It's starting to lift. Earlier it was pretty thick. This year we did have some dew problems for a while in the evenings. |
