    How are the mosquitoes and black flies down there?

    Have you got lots or should us canucks bring our own?

    We've plenty to spare!

      No bugs in my end of Pa, it's been cold and rainy for two weeks, The weather is going to break on Friday, and it will be summer like, so there will be a big hatch, i'm sure. I went for a ride down by the creek about a month ago, when it was warm, and came back with all of my chrome parts black with bugs, I wasn't sure if it was rain or bugs til I got home.

            If you didn't have bugs we all would likely get lonely and messed up and have to come home. We might starve as well. Bugs coffee and the odd doughnut and we are good to go. Speakin of coffee maybe we canucks oughtta get a can of timmies so we can chew on the grounds so we don't have no withdrawl.

              Darrell,

              Saturday lunch stop is northwest of Stroudsburg, so i don't think that helps you, coming from the south? The whole route swings north, the after lunch we continue north for a bit, then swing back south. We'll be at a little place called Grandma's on Rte 115 in Long Pond. Point #24 on the map. My cell is 570-982-1472

                  Sorry, Jim, not this time, maybe next year? But, that would cut down on our riding time!

                      Photo Downloads

                      Anyone that's bringing a digital camera, please bring your download cable. After each day's ride, I'd like to download copies of all the photos taken at the rally. I'll have a laptop in my room.

                      Thanks!

                        I wanted to get a photo of everyone in front of the banner for the past few rallies but never got a chance. Maybe we could do that this time? Line up after one of the runs, ride in front of the banner and pose for a moment with your helmet off. Just a thought.

                        I have a USB adapter that will take standard, micro, and mini SD cards if anyone forgets their cable.

                          Well, I am late as usual. this will be my first XS rally.

                          Internet said the Budget Inn was full, but I got a room at the Quality Inn. I will get there and find you guys anyway.

                          I am coming in Friday afternoon from western NY, route 6 most of the way... I like the old roads.

                            Randy, I was looking at maps and was thinking of taking Rt 447/191 into Stroudsburg. I see some of that on your map so maybe I'll look at some other alternatives? Any suggestions from Binghamton area or thereabouts?

                                Dean,

                                By all means take 191/447, it's a nice ride. You can pick up 191 in Hancock, NY off Rte 17. anything else is superslabs.
