    I looks like I'm going to be a little late getting to the rally. My uncle died on Tues and the funeral is on Friday at 11 am. It is in Mount Pleasant, Ut so If I leave after the services I will get into Kremmling sometime between 7 and 8 pm.

      My guess at this point, the 'three amigos' have made the 145mi. from Mesquite,NV and even PAST the notorious Beaver, Utah.

        Ty,

        Sorry to hear that news about your uncle. Our Condolences to you and the family.

        Be sure to spend the time you need with the family.

        Got the sun at your back most of the way till it sets.
        We can save a tent spot for you.

          Our best to the family on that Ty.

          I have space in my tent if you need to the first night. It's a larger tent that will have room for you without being too tight. Otherwise there will be plenty of space for you to set up when you get there.

          Ride safe! It'll be a beautiful time of the day to be riding in.

            Bike is all packed up. See you guys tomorrow evening. Hopefully I don't get into the campground after everyone is asleep!

              Scott just called, and the Caly 'three amigos' have just left Cove Fort, Utah. They are getting cooled off riding in the rain and another 270mi. will put them here in G. Junction. He says all is good with the three bikes! That call came approx. 4:30p.m.

                  Brant, just need to distract Anita long enough so we can slip you in the saddle...

                  I'm riding my old SG up to the new owner's house this afternoon at 3 PM. It's not really a bittersweet thing even. The new SG I picked up and posted about is every bit as nice and outfitted with more cool accessories.

                  Looking forward to getting home from that and loading up the ZRX for the rally! Everything's packed just need to put it on and take it for a quick spin, then meet CZ at 9 am to ride to Kremmling.
                  Not happy about the thought, but he's grown.

                    Hey Bonz,
                    Don't tempt, torment, and tease the poor man like that!
                    You're liable to get Anita upset... and then...

                    No treats for you!!

                    Ain't that right, Anita?

                      That was meant as tongue-in-cheek, didn't mean at all to come across as anything other than that, Anita! My apologies if it was taken that way.

                        It's ok buddy... We know.

                        You crack me up, dude!

                        So, since you took me seriously, now I feel like I should be the one apologizing!

                              No........by the time the 3amigos get here from Green River(1 1/2 hrs. from 8:30p.m.), that all will get WELL tested, after the pulled pork, etc..

                                Duwayne,
                                have a good flight tomorrow to DEN. You will likely be well west of the Mississippi River by the time we wake up.

                                Early AM departure like you have is normally an On Time departure. That BMW should be here Cats Meow for the Rally.

                                See ya in Kremmling. Keep us posted along your journey west. I should be at the Super by 3:30pm Fri.
