Best day of all—warm & bright. A nice ride around Snake Lake Rd. Of course I did my radio cast 1st, then had photos with some of our mil. personnel. And topped that off with an award from Calif. Highway Patrol Assn. It is the 1st of what will be an annual award. It is given for promoting patriotism.

Rcvd. an explanation of the ABC special event alleging—h--l they outright accused us (based on evidence from un named sources) of using planes in Contra aid in cahoots with Israel & those same planes then ran drugs into U.S. It’s all a phony story & just never happened. After lunch—back up to the other side of Mt. Rhino & completed the job of beautifying the Forest. A full day.
