Blowndodge's Adventures

Marie and I made it home from the bowels of hell yesterday arriving home at 10:30 this morning. 2551 miles in total.

This was the best rally yet despite the "Nomad Flu" that had many cancellations.

Meeting Tim and Cindy in person was great! Marie and I spent lots of time talking with them and came away with the impression on they'd be fun neighbors to have! GREAT PEOPLE !!

We traveled up with Teri Conrad from Southern Cal and met Cliff and Grant outside of Grand Junction. We all rode into Estes Park together on Sunday after spending time in the joint for Teri's illegal driving!!!

I spent as much time making sure I met people I hadn't yet. It was fun introducing myself as "Blowndodge". Some of the members just laughed and said, "your him huh?" All in good fun. Everyone there made my trip memorable.

'We may never pass this way again'. Seals and Crofts,

But I sure hope so! Thank you Jared, Joel, Jay and Teri and everyone that made it possible!

Is that what you called it the next morning after a round of Peach Pie.

Or the Blueberry How convenient... there was a liquor store across the street that had different flavors of Moonshine.

Each one of your faces tells the story. Cliff and Teri are about to laugh out loud when they found out you were spending the night with Bubba.

Not another "Old Women's Knitting Thread" damm

I got to be nicer to Top Cat. He looks like a guy I wouldn't want to get in a fuss over a parking space about.

Have the next Rally in the hottest month in the hottest place in Arizona next time and I'll be there. Nasty ass stinking Cigars, Nomad flu nor a generous soul that bank rolls the entire trip with a truck's thats AC that wont get below 72* will keep me away.
