ArizonaAl Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 When I get ready to go, I climb on the K12RS and 512 miles later I'm at the Chuckwagon-- Is it time to go yet? See you all at Torrey! Link to comment
Dennis Andress Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Laney and I are in at the Chuckwagon. The new bikes are almost ready. At 2800 miles, mine needs new shoes. We're searching for a trailer.... Link to comment
TN_R_Girl Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Wouldn't you know it?? No rest for the wicked ... instead of a nice easy week leading into blast off with the rest of my hillbilly friends, I've got a full-on jury trial, plus my regular dockets, etc. Sigh ... what was somebody saying about "government employees?"

Jacqueline Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Bob, has anyone request the hammock yet? Last summer that hammock was real comfortable that one night, I slept in it. I may ride in Sat. afternoon with an early Sunday departure. Thinking I'll just bring my sleeping bag, leave the tent home and slept under the stars in your hammock.... or your front porch will also do. Link to comment

hopz Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 If you are passing through Salt Lake City please let us know about when... since it takes a little advance notice to round up the livestock.... Link to comment
** Chris ** Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 If you are passing through Salt Lake City please let us know about when... since it takes a little advance notice to round up the livestock.... Wow. That would be nice. I wonder if I could someone to round up all the livestock across, Texas, New Mexico and southern Colorado. Actually, if they could round up all 4 legged critters I would be much more comfortable riding between here and Torrey. Although, I have decided the faster you go, the less chance you have of hitting some kind of critter in the road. Since you are on the road for less time, the occurrences of animals on the road has to be less... Link to comment

TN_R_Girl Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Oh no!! Well for what it's worth, I woke up with a sore throat this morning. Hoping it's just drainage due to the weird weather and extra mold spores floating around Nashville Took extra Vitamin C and have been sucking down Zicam all afternoon. Keeping my fingers crossed. Now what is this "snow" of which everyone speaks??? Link to comment
barryNmarin Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Well, with Torrey only a week away, it occurred to me that I'll have an extra bed in my room at the Chuckwagon from Thursday through Saturday nights. If anyone wants to share a room (#19) at the Chuckwagon and split the cost send me a PM. Link to comment
hopz Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Yes, and I don't remember the 4" of snow/ice that Fugu and I rode in as we crossed Bolder mountain year before last either. Or the snow bank roadblock Whip took us to on the Fish Lake Loop. We never have dicey weather at spring Torrey...never. Link to comment

Big_Gray Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I am picking up my passport tomorrow so I should be ready for entry into USofA next week. In 60+ years of travel down south, this will be the first time I've needed a passport. It saddens me a little but not enough to stop me from departing for Torrey at 0 dark 30 next Thursday as part of an abbreviated Canadian contingent. See Y'all soon. Link to comment
