RANCHO CUCAMONGA PT CRUISER CRUISIN’ CLUB
August 2009
NEWSLETTER - ISSUE # 33
INLAND EMPIRE - SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
CRUISIN’ CLUB PICNIC
On this day the membership came
together and spent the day at the
park. During the course of the
year Rancho Cruisin’ Club makes
a courtesy call to remind the
membership about the upcoming
event or cruise and sometimes
well actually most of the time we
do not know which members will
show up. This is okay because the
membership knows that they can
pick and choose from the clubs’
cruise event schedule.
I began preparing for
the picnic early on in the year by
reserving the park site with
Rancho Cucamonga City on April
1 2009 and along with the site was
included a baseball diamond for
us to use. Having cruises going on
throughout the year makes the
months seem like weeks going by.
I have to keep tabs on the
calendar and dates for our next
cruise or event because time sure
does fly when you least expect it.
But on this day even
though the weather man said it
would be pretty hot most of the
day, we manage to stay cool
because of the location we had.
This park has two shelters and
with each shelter comes three
oversize picnic cement tables
which we used to the max., and
also 2 more tables next to the
shelter which we covered with two
EZ-Ups for shade. A stand alone
barbeque pit is located next to
each individual table at this park
which makes it very easy to
prepare the food. I arrived at
about 9:30 am and the
membership began dropping in
about 10 am which was the time
that was set for the event. CONT. ->

We had the area reserved
from 10 am to 2 pm but no
one else had made a
reservation for this park area
so we were in no rush to leave.
Ken Brownell, Tommy
Dorsey, Phil Page, Alicia
Mendoza, Sharon Breaux,
Ray Oviatt and several others
were busy at the bbq pits
grilling hamburgers, hot dogs,
steaks, turkey legs and
chicken. Along with that
everyone brought something
as a side order.
J. J. Johnson made
his famous “RCPTCCC”
oatmeal cookies and passed
them out to everyone. These
cookies are in a class by
themselves - they are
delicious. There were two
games we brought along for
the event. A bean bag toss and
a game called golf where the
player tosses two balls that
are attached to each other by
a string. The string if thrown
accurately wraps around a
three tier stand and the player
wins if he gets the most points.
So needless to say we did have
5 winners and they all
received a prize. The prizes
that were won were brought
for the games by several of
the club members.
As the day at the
park came to a close some of
the club members talked
about another picnic. This is
something good to hear
because it gives us all a great
satisfied feeling of
accomplishment and the
energy to make arrangements
for another picnic. AWESOME!

BRONCO BILLY
The film revolves around "Bronco Billy's Wild West Show", a run-down traveling
circus, the star of which is Bronco Billy McCoy (Clint Eastwood), the "fastest gun
in the West." For the show's finale, a blindfolded Bronco Billy shoots balloons
around a female assistant on a revolving wooden disk, and for the last balloon, he
throws a knife. However, the assistant's leg is nicked, so she quits. The show is
not making any money, and nobody has been paid for months.
The show moves on to a new town and Bronco Billy goes to city hall to get a
permit. While there, he bumps into Antoinette Lilly (Sondra Locke) and John
Arlington (Geoffrey Lewis), who are there to be married. Antoinette despises her
future husband, but has to marry before she is thirty in order to inherit a large
fortune. Afterwards, their car breaks down at the motel opposite the Wild West
Show. The next morning, Arlington steals all her money and their repaired car.
She is left to fend for herself.
Bronco Billy eventually talks Antoinette into becoming his new assistant, "Miss
Lilly", though she only agrees to do one show. The show of her first performance
is unusually successful, although Miss Lilly irritates Billy by not sticking to the
script.
Leaving the show, Antoinette discovers that Arlington has been arrested for her
murder (framed by Antoinette's stepmother and her scheming lawyer friend, who
stand to gain her inheritance). Seizing the chance to get even with Arlington,
Antoinette rejoins the Wild West Show.
She discovers that none of the performers are real cowboys: they are mostly ex-
convicts or alcoholics (or both). Bronco Billy was a shoe salesman who shot his
wife for sleeping with his best friend. Nevertheless, Miss Lilly begins to warm to
the troupe.
Two of the show's performers announce that they are going to have a baby. The
crew goes to a bar to celebrate. One of them gets himself arrested by police who
discover that he is a deserter from the army. Bronco Billy uses the show's meager
savings to bribe the sheriff into letting the man go, swallowing his pride and
enduring the sheriff's verbal humiliations for his friend's sake. Then the circus tent
burns down. Everyone blames Miss Lilly for their bad luck, but Bronco Billy
defends her and proposes that they rob a train. They try to do this in the standard
Western way (riding alongside and jumping on), but a modern train proves to be
resistant to such an approach and they give up.
Next, the troupe travels to a mental institution at which they have previously
performed pro bono. The head of the institution, who is obsessed with the Wild
West, agrees to provide them with accommodation and to supply a new tent, and
the inmates sew one out of American flags. Miss Lilly and Bronco Billy spend the
night together. By chance, one of the inmates turns out to be Arlington (he had
been paid by the crooked lawyer to confess to being mentally disturbed when he
"murdered" Antoinette). When he sees her, he raises a fuss and gets himself
released. Bronco Billy and the show depart without Miss Lilly. Antoinette returns
to a luxurious lifestyle, but she is bored and misses Billy, who drowns his
loneliness with alcohol. The two reunite when Miss Lilly returns to the circus.

Annual 4th of July Country Village Parade Cruise
For this parade we decorated our PT Cruisers with
patriotic streamers and joined other car clubs as well as
many happy and cheering Independence Day revelers
celebrating the Fourth of July celebration holiday. This
parade was something that was thought of several years
ago by the residents at this Country Village complex. The
parade entries follow the route in and around the entire
complex. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes to complete
the parade course.
The excitement grew as the parade began with many
diverse entries of an assortment of groups who signed up
to be in this parade. I was amazed at how many people
turned out for this small township parade, and all were
very sociable. I have never been to a parade such as this
one and have so many people smile, wave, salute, and
say hello to the participants in any parade I have been
to. From the very beginning as we arrived we noticed
that there were many people from all age groups
involved with the festivities. When our cruisin’ club
signs up to be in a parade we kind of have the feeling
about the parade whether we will enjoy or find it
unsatisfactory.
This annual parade these folks put out is something of
a great celebration where everyone gets involved. After
the parade we parked our Cruisers by the restaurant and
stayed and talked for some time. The management
wanted our club to have a full blown out car show but I
found it too late in time to be able to get everything
organized to have a first-rate car show. Also, after the
parade finished we headed out to the grassy area of the
town complex which is like a large park like setting and
visited many of the vendors and enjoyed the festivities.
At one site there was a group of people cooking on a very
large grill and passing out as many hot dogs and water
or a drink that anyone wanted for free.
We did stay about 3 hours and then left for home
which I didn’t have to cruise to far because of the close
proximity to my home. Thank you for those that came
out and joined us on this cruise.

March Field Air Museum Cruise
We have been to this location before in the past and
each time including this one visit has been great, other
than the hot weather this is a place to cruise to and
enjoy with many friends who love aircrafts. We met at
Krispy Kremes for this cruise, and even though we all
got there on time, I just knew that the traffic was going
to be code congested on the 10 freeway. Well we
arrived there safe and sound and parked all of the
cruisers together. We always park together but
sometimes it’s easier for anyone who is Handicapped to
park closest to the front entranced.
Even so, the main entrance is kind of far away and
we had no choice but to walk. The March Air Base
Museum is located off of Van Buren and across the 215
freeway from the Riverside National Cemetery. The day
was exceptionally hot and upon entering the building
we made it a point to stay a little while indoors and
explore the building with all of its historical mementos
and traditional artifacts. March Air Museum is well
equipped to handle or store many airplanes with their
history from wars or conflicts this country has been
involved in.
A large percentage of our club members are new to
being in a car club so here at Rancho Cruisin’ Club we
try to give everyone a little variety and encourage the
membership to come fly with us to any one of the
cruises during the year and same goes for next year
and the year after that and the gratification continues
as long as we strive to be creative on whatever we do.
As always any club would be happy having a lot of
cruisers show up for an event or a scheduled cruise, but
here not only are we pleased regarding that, we also
have a chance to meet up with different members each
time.
The schedule for next year 2010 is being formed and
there are many places to cruise and not just the same
ones that we have gone to this year. The particulars on
the cruise places, events, occasions and location, time,
and what to bring along for the day will be on the clubs’
web site along with courtesy reminders before each and
every cruise that we will go on.
RCPTCCC membership decides on what cruises they
want to go to, and it does appear that nearly everyone
of the club members who are going are showing up
each and every time we have a cruise, which is good!
Because it makes the sensation of having a car club and
belonging to this car club all worth the endeavor we all
put forth every month. Until then take care and be
safe.
