When I called Black Hills Powersports in Rapid City, SD last week after receiving my letter and then researching the issue on this forum, the service manager had not heard of the recall. I explained it to him and also the fact that I have a 3,500 mile trip planned that begins on August 1. I told...

Here is how an article begins at Wildfire Today. Read the entire article HERE.

I think the Spot has a hard time transmitting through tree canopy or receiving GPS signals through trees. But the new Spot 2 has a better GPS antenna which may solve part of this problem. It also may be important that the Spot antenna be pointing UP, rather than being in the vertical position...

This is a great idea. Thanks for grabbing it and running with it RenoJohn. I am in, and will help out with testing any way I can. Earlier in this thread there were questions about where a Spot can be located and still work. Mine works very well from inside my tank bag, buried under several...

It's not mini-USB. It's round and has 5 pins. Damn thing. Maybe it's time to break down and get a Zumo.

I have a Garmin 378 and I can't find my cable which I need in order to install the route files. Will anyone at CFO have a cable that will work on the 378, and a computer?

The shirts, caps, etc. with the CFO 2009 logo are now available on the CafePress site. I put a post in the main CFO section about it.

Shirts, caps, and a bunch of other items can now be ordered for CFO 2009. You can see them all at CafePress. I ordered a shirt already just to test the system and make sure the logo would turn out ok. Here it is: Men's and women's shirts are available in short-sleeve and long-sleeve, and...

The poll is closed, since the location and dates of CFO 2009 have been determined: La Crosse, Wisc. September 17-20, 2009 More information will be at the CFO web site when we get closer to the date. CFO Web Site See You There!

Just to be clear, I, Jackson, did not refer to any big blow up. Rad is referring to someone else. Let's move on to the future and keep this thread on track--voting on the location for the next CFO. So far "Other" only has 7% of the votes, so most likely it will be either MN, WI, or SD.

I did a search for it and found an evaluation at Web Bike World: HERE is a link where it can be purchased.

Glad you folks make it back safely. Of course the weather is GREAT here now. Temps in the mid to high 80s all this week and no rain.

There will be no 2009 NAFO; it will be every two years. The next one will be in 2010 in the Eastern Area.

A quick review of the member map shows that there are about 115 members within 175 miles of southwest Wisconsin, depending on the exact location.

At CFO 2008 last weekend the participants discussed the potential locations for the CFO in 2009. Three areas were identified. If you are considering attending CFO in 2009, please vote on one of the locations. If you have another area in mind, let us know in a reply to this message. UPDATE...

I uploaded about 35 pictures to Picassa Web Albums that Marsha, Princess Buttercup, and I took. HERE is a link.

An early scouting party arrived at CFO today and had a meeting at the Sage Creek Grill in Custer. Princess Buttercup and Devanator Jackson, 07FJRSD, and Rickcorwin The main contingent is expected to arrive Thursday.

I have never been to the "Lighting Ceremony" but I think they have it each night. An old crusty firefighter friend of mine went to it once and said it is so touching it brought a tear to his eye.

Thanks for putting all this together. It looks like you guys had a great time. I am glad that Tim... and you... got to do this.

When you get to CFO--- the Bavarian Inn-- at Custer, SD, stop by my room to Check-In and pick up your packet. I'll try to get a room right across from the office, but look for a CFO sign on the door.... like this... Check-in will be officially open from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday...
