The biggest event of the year in Laguna Niguel, Calif., is coming up on Saturday, but Mayor Robert Ming has a message for those planning to attend: Keep your pants on.

For 30 years, the town has played host to an affair dubbed "Moon Over Amtrak." Crowds line Camino Capistrano, a road that runs along the railroad tracks, and pass the day dropping their trousers every time a train rolls by...

They gather across the street from the Mugs Away Saloon. I had a feeling alcohol was involved. :-))

In other threads it is being reported that there are some high-quality 40 year old tapes of this event.

I used to ride that train (from LA to SD) but I never saw any moons. Maybe it was the time of year (or the phase of the moon?)

What people to on the privacy of railroad tracks is their personal business.

In other news: Hairy male gay butts can be seen walking the streets of San Francisco on a daily basis.

There is a little hippie town in Alaska called “Ferry”. Because of a past issue with the Alaska railroad, every 4th of July they moon the Alaska RR trains. My supervisor was on it with his 2 young daughters and from his pictures they were flashing a whole lot more than butts. we are talking old nasty hippie boobs here. I told him I would have been PO’d if my kids had to watch that crap. He definately was. Bunch of friggin’ retards.
