Paula,
That is fantastic. Can't wait to see you again. Ride safe and we will be meeting up with you soon.

Geri and I are going to have to miss this trip, which is shaping up as an incredible gathering. So sorry, but we've been away so much this summer we feel we need to spend some time at home.

**Rando** · 08-02-2011, 08:54 AM

Bonnie and I will not be able to make it either. We are taking care of my Mom, who is recovering from back surgery.

I just replied to Ken Tompkins post about a route to take through Canada and he mentioned that he was going on the 3 lakes ride next weekend. I almost told him not to go next weekend because it wasn't until the following weekend. Well silly me I would have been there a week late.

I was planning on the 19-21. Guess I better call the kennel and reschedule. The hotel is okay as I got Larry's room when he cancelled. Duh!

Oh Ann, I am so glad you got that one figured out soon enough. You would have really been wondering where we all were.

I was wondering why you checked the ferry schedule for the 21st!!! But I was tired and didn't catch it last night when we were chatting. Glad you caught it, I would have missed seeing you and Joe! --Paula

Sorry you aren't going to make it but have a great time and be safe.

I just got the bugs scrubbed off my Spyder from SITA and I just need to change my oil and I'm ready to roll. I'm looking forward to a great time with everyone.

**mxz600** · 08-04-2011, 09:37 PM

Eight more days.

**Paula(Butch2025)** · 08-04-2011, 09:49 PM

I need to do a practice pack...no trailer and just me...need to figure out where to put what. Then need to take it up to Caswell's for a once over (Butch says!) before the my trip. Finally get it all washed and shined before heading out to get it all full of road grime! 7 more days for me, I need a jump start to get there in time to cross the bridge with everyone....can't wait!

**Dragon Snake** · 08-04-2011, 10:05 PM

yippeeeeeee can't wait! going to be fun fun fun

**Firefly** · 08-06-2011, 07:52 PM

Hope you guys have good weather and a great trip. Went thru the UP twice last summer on the Spyder--- can never get tired of riding up there!

If you go thru Grand Marais, the Lake Superior Brewing Company has awesome pizza and good beer.....

Sunday when you guys are heading south--- let me know if any of you want to meet up for dinner somewhere .....would be nice to see you all (well -- maybe not Gene--- but the rest of you!)

She should bring you down here to the STATE FAIR. Have fun with HID's. BTW, will be cruising thru your territory on the way to Flint next Thursday. Anything I should look out for. Some Guy is not on the loose up there, is he

**dltang** · 08-07-2011, 01:57 PM

We are getting so close and I am getting excited. Dan, sorry you and Tina won't be joining us, but have a good time.

**Trickie Dick** · 08-07-2011, 08:09 PM

Have the dinner plans for the 2 nights been decided?

**Paula(Butch2025)** · 08-07-2011, 09:42 PM

I have three days to pack!!!! I just cleaned all Butch's junk out of the trunk (oh that rhymed) and cleaned it and put some of my stuff in there. Bought a cargo net/bungee (up at aerostich, Joe!) to hold the cover and my drysac for overnight. Got my licorice (road trip food), I'm almost ready!!!!! And I might have company on the trip, SpyderDeb and Pauly1 are thinking about joining me. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep the next few nights!

Someguy is indeed on the loose---- in more ways than one....

I could go to your state fair -- unlike Gene who has a court order against going to any fairs with live animals....

**RTGENE** · 08-07-2011, 11:38 PM

Well now
I have 2 days and a wake up-----off to the north country 3X3,
Last night I had trouble getting to sleep knowing I leave Wednesday morning.
Soooo I get out the RT and down the road we go at midnight.
Then it happened I hit a firefly then another and another. It felt so good I couldn't smile any bigger.
How satisfying and calming ----got home and went sound asleep.

"I feel good-----so good".

Sure would be nice to see someguy and 8legs--maybe dinner Sunday.

Yeah, the sheep exhibit is definitely off limits.

Sounds like 8legs is really excited about riding the ride at your county fair.

What is it, the tilt-a-whirl or a 4 seat Ferris wheel
