Okay the time is almost here. I have the truck loaded with camping gear and the bike is strapped down to the truck bed. When I get up at 5:30 in the morning, I'll grab a full travel mug and a full thermos and I'm off. Tomorrow night at this time I'll be camping in Shenandoah National park and riding Skyline drive on thursday. I'll see you guys on Friday at Toymaker Ranch.

Oldfeller,
You got that right! I've packed/repacked my camping stuff on the bike three times. I've been a little unsure about making this trip until now.

I met with one of my cancer Dr's today, now I have him and my wife telling me NOT to go Angry

so, the only thing I can say now is.... HELL YES I'll be there Grin

It's been about thirty years since I've ridden a bike at the gap. Beating cancer has taught me that life is too short to not get out and do the things you love while you still can.

I'm like a kid before Christmas. The bikes ready, my camping stuff is loaded (again), and I can't sleep nights!

Everything's strapped down and ready for a Wed. departure. Yes, I'm riding the 9 hr trip, Savage style! Part of the way, tomorrow, part of the way Thur, and arrive for a Fri check in at the Gap! My cell phone number is 757-535-4444, and I'll be heading 58w to 85s to 40w and hopefully checking in at Toymakers on Thurs, then heading to the Gap on Friday. This is my first true road-trip because I towed BB there in April. I'm pretty psyched up about it. Now, what can I contribute to the feast? I'll stop and pick up whatever you think we need; just let me know (by phone or PM me).

Actually, this time I think I am going to forgo hauling my video system around like an appendage as all it did last time was take up my time and effort to shoot all the vids that we could then never show to anybody anyway. I would have been better off to simply enjoy the great moments rather than trying to record them.

================

Basic food is covered, if you want to bring something "extra" feel free to do so. Bring something special you particularly want to munch on, someone will help you finish off the rest of the package, believe me. Us bikers can eat -- yep, that we can.

================

A Word from Mary Poppins,

"There will be no impromptu ticket punching tolerated on this trip. You WILL remain healthy and hale until you get home. This is the only proper and polite behavior we will tolerate on this trip.

You can certainly afford to wait until you get home and your wife can sneakily review the contents of whatever digital devices you brought, then the appropriate authority can punch your ticket for you very thoroughly in the appropriate fashions to suit your actual crimes."

Grin

================

Houston, we have T minus 2 and counting. All subsystem checks are complete and we have selected prelaunch subsystems in transit to interim docking positions.

Final teleconference is scheduled for 8:00 PM tonight to arrange for final pre-launch items.

Yeeeeehaw!
