    Staging Area / Starting the Parade

    This is the lead vehicle for the MVCC Unit in the parade.
    We missed pictures of the 2 WWII jeeps, but this is a Pinsinganuer and a Volvo build radio truck.
    Now the lead big truck in our group, another Deuce!
    Here's one of the float/units coming back from the parade already.
    The left side of our truck with Mr David Holoboff who volunteered to help out, Hunter Holoboff, Emily, Cliona, Danelle and Zach. Drake was seated next to Zach at the front of the bench, but not captured in the picture (sorry, blame my co-driver/photographer).
    The right side of our truck with Mrs Amy Snell-Johnson who got volunteered to help out. Then Avery, Danae, Jocse, Anna. Talia was seated next to Anna at the front of the bench, but not captured in the picture (sorry, again blame my co-driver/photographer).
    Pulling out of the staging area to turn on to Blake street and our first taste of the crowds...

    Blake Street

    Starting down Blake Street, nice sized crowd.
    Some even using the roofs.
    Artistic shot of the kid's waving flags

    (we werent allowed to get out of our vehicles on the parade route to take photos of ourselves...)

    Here is a composite view of the back with the kids waving on the parade route...

    (same rule about blaming the co-driver for anyone cut off in the photo...)

    Looks like quite a crowd at the review stand.
    This was the first of several groups to give me and the rider's on my side high-5s.

    17th Street

    Wynkoop Street

    I was surprized by how many folks wanted to hear the Deuce's horn. Here's two saying thanks. (maybe should think about getting an air-raid siren...)

    Off the Parade Route and back to the Staging Area

    Taking the cut-through back to the staging area through Lot A.
    Here is a shot of the right side of the truck afterwards. The kids look tired if nothing else...
    Here is a shot of the left side...

    Other Pictures

    This picture was actually taken pre-parade in the staging area. The bouncing guy had some cool tension-stilts which allowed him to do some amazing tricks including bounce MUCH higher than that.

    I strongly suspect he was not even in the parade, just socializing...
