[Fontanaman]

Suck in McCall Id with heavy frost, hoping to leave soon as it already 8:30 here. See ya all tonight!
Sorry to Here Ken! Hope all went well.

Fontana hope all goes well for the wife.

The wife's surgery went well today. Instead of putting a plate in her foot they put in two screws; a better deal for her. Thanks for the thoughts.

There is a weather advisory for western Washington on Sunday. I am saying this to be helpful, not to be a jerk. High winds, heavy rain, along with a cold front with snow levels of 5500 feet. Plan accordingly, be safe - don't leave early rather stay an extra day! Have fun everybody.

Duchess & I had a Great time! Pic (Don, Joe & CeCe) sums up the good times had by all.

THANKS RAY!

Crap!!! If I had gone, I'd be on my way to the Redwood Forest right now.

I hope you boys and girls had a blast!!

 

[escapefjrtist]

Great time...good to see all y'all again!

Weather wasn't too bad getting back to the PNWet...only about an hour of rain / wind and was treated to a sun-break for the last hour!

See everyone next year.

Funny thing, that Karma. I was feeling pretty smug about the weather report for the east side. From just south of Ellensburg and all the way over Blewett pass, it was a frog strangler. Oh well, don't have to wash the bike, or my gear now.

Great trip, great friends and the best grub.

I saw that advisory Saturday morning and with the inexcusable condition of my tires I panicked and left LaPine for B'ham at noon Saturday. I wont describe my ride home except to say the FJR got 52 mpg and I only caught a total of maybe a quarter mile of rain beginning at Yakama and concluding in Bellingham. It was great to see you all and next year I wont be putting 7000 miles on the tires before getting to the Reuben Run.

 

[SeattleTy]

It was really nice to meet some new people and make some new friends. I had a fun time and wanted to say thank you Ray for inviting us into your home town. The roads around La Pine was fantastic to ride and a place I will come back to again and again

 

[MCML]

Home safely. It was cold, hot and in between on the way south. This morning's ride in the Eastern Sierra was absolutely gorgeous.

Here is the group photo:

What a motley lookin' group..

 

[Bustanut joker]

Well I guess I should share a few here..

My loaner steed for the weekend. Thanks Ray, it was greatly appreciated!

Odots well used mount..

But evidently not much recently.. Nice bird nest klown

Some egg headed guy @ Crater Lake..

A few more strangers..

Mizz Bust enjoying the scenery

I could get used to seeing this everyday!!!

Chow time!

Who invited that Asian guy? Marcus was a hoot!

Shenanigans.. It got a bit "buggy"..Hint hint..

Another fantastic time in the PNW. I can't thank those responsible for Sheila and myselfs being able to attend this ride enough.. I am totally blown away by the generosity of all involved.
Ray went out of his way to retrieve and then deliver Sheila and I to Roberts field, put us up for two nights, and trust me with his bike for the weekend.. I dunno what to say.......

Joe an Cec made sure we ate well but Joe? As Odot said "that bacon vodka can't be fixed, it's nasty" Coming from an Eskimo I'd say you should just use it for fire starter.

It was great re-connecting with old friends, and adding a few new ones. All of you added something, even Odot. The mouth kiss was hilarious but the ugghhh Beer mustache comment after about had me on the floor laughing!

Suked when John went down and he's probably right about his scoot bein a total. But it should be easy to fix as it didn't look like any structural damages. The guy is a tough old dude. Sat for almost two hours waiting for a ride to the hospital because he didn't want anyone to miss out. John u krazy ***!

Finally, As much as I'd like to lay blame on the altitude, I was legitimately rather I'll Saturday night and really bummed I missed all the lies and ass grabbing.

However you jackasses that broke in and took pics? Check my left hand.. Yep I was flying the bird you dorks!

Again, Thanks to all that made this possible! Now that the wife has seen what that area is all about convincing her to relocate is going to be a hell of a lot easier!

 

[Mizz Bustanut]

+1. Gunny that. Couldn't have said it any better. Truly an amazing group of people. Loved every minute of it. Seriously considering a move that direction in the future.

Thank you so much to everyone who so generously made this possible for myself and Bust. We will never forget it and are hoping to pay it forward very soon.

 

[Bustanut joker]

Could you repeat that? I got a lil' mud in me ear... :blum:

 

[beemerdons]

Barry, thanks for my new screensaver! Eskimos, you can't live with them and you can't live with them! jes' sayin' and nuff said!
