Reporting a sighting of Kechup on I 95 heading north today. Looked like Henry was driving. I was returning from a trip to Iowa ( Dad passed away last Sunday) and had flown into Orlando (Allegiant), rented a car to finish the trip to West Palm.

Rod, sorry to hear of your loss.

 

The HERO Maker train left the RGV today and we are currently staying at the TCC (Texas Custom Coach) parking lot getting a couple of problems taking care of. Should be here about 4 days, and then on to East Texas to be with family and take a rest from our work at the border. Will be traveling from mid May until we come back to the RGV in late Oct.

 

Looking for groups to talk to about the need to help children at risk.

 

Hope to see y'all along the trail somewhere,

I got home from work Wednesday night, met up with member Lloyd(Bigstick) for breakfast, and a wash. Lloyd has been up the Al-Can, to Ft. Nelson, and East, and was on his way back home. I showed up at the truck wash with the Dodge, but while waiting went to get the Kenworth. This is what the well dressed drivers are wearing this season:

After breakfast, while the trucks were lined up. Lloyd is on the left:

I have been wrong before, I'll probably be wrong again.

After attending the Chapter 17 Spring Rally in Grove, OK we are settled in on our lot at Outdoor Resorts of the Ozarks just south of Branson, Mo. Lots of rain has the lake at flood level but has resulted in a beautiful green spring. If you are in the area give us a call.

We left St. Paul, MN on Sunday, May 8th. We're now in Healdsburg, California, north of San Fran. Spending a few days here visiting wife's cousin. Then we're going to be following the Tour of California bike race. www.amgentourofcalifornia.com . That ends near L.A. on Sunday, May 22nd. Then we're going to take almost a week to get back to MN. We spotted a purple Freightliner pulling a big 5ver and flat towing a Jeep CJ behind that, in CA, near Tahoe I think, on I80. He was going east and we were going west. Couldn't tell for sure what size FL. Could have been a M2 or FL60/70 tho. Looked good in the mountains. If anybody is going to any of the bike race stages look for us.

Tomorrow we leave IN headed home to CO for a couple of days, then it's off to Lake Powell (Utah/AZ) for some serious fishing. Anyone here been to Powell? Curious as to the best place for us biggies would be - though I would guess pretty much anywhere since there's not much out there. I know Page, AZ would have more "conveniences" (restaurants, fuel stops, grocery, etc), but Bullfrog marina, UT is pretty much wide open. Guess I need to hit the fishing forums again to see what's the best spot for the fishing, THEN figure out where to sleep! Will we be seeing any of you on the road along the way?

Yeah, read that the water is up, but it doesn't seem to be making the fishing crappy - crappie would be best of course :P Going walleye and crappie hunting. Too bad we just don't have more freezer space for all the fish... :(But we did get one of those tiny stand alone freezers to put in the basement - that will simply "have to do" for now...

www.wayneswords.com will give some fishing info. It also has other misc info for Lake Powell. Sometimes it seems the fishing reports are a little more rosy than we find but we usually catch fish. We were there a couple of weeks ago but didn't get to fish. If this snow melt gets rolling the lake could raise 18" a day. That's a lot of water!

Is Beartooth open already ? Seems awful early, that is one of my favorite rides in either direction. This is a great motorcycle ride, but not at this time of year. Have a safe trip.

I agree with as much snow as they have I would be surprised if Bear tooth is open. It it is it will be more amazing the usual.

Bob ..You're right Beartooth is not open yet ...We had to go out the northeast entrance and Chief Joseph Hwy back to the RV west of Cody ....matter of fact the center road in the park is still closed .....still lots to see and do ...Saw a hugh Grizzly yesterday diging up ground squirels for his diner !!!! Was about 80 yds off the road .....The park has almost no traffic ...we maybe see 10-15 cars all day ....had a great time ....Jim
