    Map point says 199 mile ride to get there . So to meet you all I'm planing to leave Lancaster around 6:00 or 7:00 that sat. morning.
    Arriving there around 11;00 -11:30 does that sound right. Also does Penn State have a home game that weekend ,could mess up the roads that weekend for the trip up .

      Hey madbiker! Penn State is at Michigan Oct. 12. You coming up 15? That looks like the most direct route.

                No rain! Nice weekend!

                Larry's sport shop is having an open house on Sat. This is a Yamaha / Harley dealer about 2 miles west of Galeton on Rt. 6. I am planning to visit there in the morning and then meet up with you folks at the Canyon at 12:30.

                          Mad, you may see some rain your way, should not be too heavy. Should be clear in the canyon area Saturday, till Sunday. Cold front moving in on Sunday and will get colder as the day wanes. Saturday should be nice from my direction. Meeting up with Dave W at Larry's Open house in Galeton, then over to the canyon. Will head home Saturday night though, gotta visit with relatives in town and work some Sunday afternoon.

                          Do we have a ride route planned?

                            Yeah, well, Mother Nature has a sense of humor after all. It drizzled all day, still had a nice meeting with Madbiker and wife and Bruce and wife. My face still hurts from laughing, Bruce can really tell a story!

                            The canyon had a beautiful view of fog. The company was great, though.

                            Yes Mom, I made it home OK. Damp all the way. Since you will read this Sunday, I hope you were dry for your trip home.

                              Home Safely

                              Hey Marty, Walt, & Tracy,
                              We arrived home safely, a bit on the damp side, but not as bad as it could've been !!
                              Sorry Walt & Tracy, we didn't meet you this AM, we attempted to head to the canyon, but on the way out we noticed the fog was as bad, if not worse than yesterday so we opted to get on the road heading for home.
                              Dispite the weather we had a great visit, too bad you didn't stay for dinner Marty, you missed out on one helluva Prime Rib !
                              Please post your arrival home Walt & Tracy, just want to keep track, hope you enjoyed yourselves as well!

                              XSively,
                              "Mom"

                              P.S.
                              Hey "Highlander", what happened to you ?? Never saw or heard from you so we're hoping you were safely at home during our "Fog Canyon Ride"

                                Did you warn that place it might be inundated with hungry XSive bikers next spring?

                                Looks like you got out in time, although a little wet. It was 56 degrees this morning, at 4PM it was 50, at this writing, 4:45PM it is 44. Sheesh! AND they are whispering the "S" word for tonight. Good news is that big ball of fire is peeking through occasionally.

                                Yup, very nice visit. Good company, nice chat, can't wait till spring.

                                Glad you made it home OK, Mom. Hope he kept BOTH wheels down! I think his name should be "Dodger." Now I understand why it is all black.
