Xssively Lost Spring 2009

Shouldn't make any difference car vs motorcycle one. When you change it though would be a good time to take your multimeter and test voltage at plug in. Set scale to 20V start it up and test the plug-in terminals.

So far the weekend looks wet. Friday and Saturday with 60 percent of thunderstorms. Make sure to pack rain gear. Steve is meeting up with me between 8 and 10 am friday morning. That will put us down at the cabin 5 pm at the latest if I don't get us lost getting there. LOL Oh if you get to the cabins first go ahead and check Matt Gaul should be Eagle retreat cabin. Will call when we get close.

When do you plan on crossing the Ohio River? Roy

First thing in the morning. Around 9ish depending on breakfast and how quick we get moving. still not sure where breakfast will be. Probally cave in rock if I can find a mom and pap diner.

Cave-in-Rock Lodge/Gee Jay's/Duttons
Posted Review:They are the only three restaurants in town. Two are within a block of each other, and the other is in the state park about a half-mile away. All three are family-style diners. The food was great for the price. All had homemade desserts, too.

I'm packed and ready to leave tomorrow. Will hook up with you somewhere in IL.
Ride safe.

Sorry, been busy the last few days and forgot I was going to keep you all posted. I see Brent has done a better job. I’m in Pigeon Forge waiting for Brent. He should be here in an hour or so. We’ll head out in the morning. Radar will decide if we go up through the Cumberland Gap or take the super slabs through Nashville.

See you all tomorrow,
Bob

I called Arlan and Matt and no answer so they must be on the road.

The weather is sunny here now so maybe they will have a nice ride. Roy

[Roy Bean]

I didn't have to work today and painted a bike frame early. I went home and called a friend and asked if he wanted to ride to Il. and meet some guys from up North.

Great day for a ride. Nice roads and the traffic was light.

Got to the Ohio River and matt and Arlan was on the Il. Side having a bite to eat.
The river was up but is was a nice windy ride across.




Arlan and Matt was sitting on a ledge watching us cross. We went to the restaurant and got a drink and talked bikes.

I asked them not to throw rocks at us since i was on a Kawi and Thomas was on a Harley.


We stopped and got gas then went to the cabin. It rained the last very few miles.


Some folks seem to sponge up water more than other folks. (with windshields)




The banner was super nice.






The cabins were great. This is the back porch. Roy

I told the wife we need to take a weekend off to go to these cabins and visit the garden of the gods.

I'm home, fun rally, more later.

I forgot, thanks Matt for putting on the rally. I think we should call it the "Man vs Technology rally". Not sure who won??, but we all know the "turn around signal".

Bob

Me too. Made it home fopr supper. Good ride with some light sprinkles south of Chattanooga. No need for rain gear though.

Thanks to Matt, Arlen & Bob for making the rally so good.
