    Hey Joel,
    I think Berolina (Anders) and I can make it this year. Need a full RV spot if possible. I'll be traveling light, 525, 400 and maybe a trials bike. Probably Wed. thru Sunday.

    thanks,
    Don,

    Owners of KLRs! Of GS’s! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when we spend our time chasing little white balls with sticks. When we eat tofu, wear flower printed shirts and sans-a-belt slacks. A day may come when we bore our grandkids with ancient photos, and lie about how fast we were.
    <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
    But that day is not this day.

    For this day, we ride...<o:p></o:p>
