It's so great to have such wonderful contributions from you guys - gldnegle, bjcojak, willie-t.

Gldnegle - you were at the paint party or just outside? Did you go last year too? Any impressions, crowd size, this year vs last, etc?

I will start posting Wednesday. Already posted are many girls that I snapped as well. Four girls in particular stayed completely nude at gaswork until after 5pm. They were in the main area, not by the water.

Over where Gldnegle caught the girl and guy acrobatics were many other photo ops, including some skinny dipping.

I am convinced that with all the original material up so far and with me and Irish not having posted yet, this could be the best fremont thread ever. I would actually prefer that Irishboy post here but he may other plans. Do you think we could convince him to do this? Thanks again for all you efforts!

Just one caveat - each year, requests are made for pics of unpainted riders. However, this is a sensitive issue with the ride organizers and why the pre ride is now off limits to photogs without permission. So.....please enjoy the pics but also respect the riders by not being too overly eager for unpainted photos. Thanks!
