Rick Flanders ( Flask ) has attended every Hillbilly Highway Ride we have done. He goes in the hospital on May 26 to have a tumor removed from his brain. Keep Rick in your thoughts and prayers as y'all know he is one of the good ones.

Unfortunately for me, It's one pay day too close to InZane. Being born with good looks instead of rich parents does have some bad consequences.  Bump for what's obviously gonna be a good time. Rams |

Reb,
OK, with a little trembling and hesitation, I made a reservation... Wonder if I'll actually show up? Who knows, but... I do hope I do. I'd like to hang with the characters sure to be there! Always a good event... thanks for keeping the series going, Reb!!!
DDT
P.S. I like all here will miss not having Flask & Gabby there; something significant will most certainly be absent! I'll keep a good thought and include Rick in my prayers as we all celebrate life... Looking forward to riding and jawing with you again, Rick, as soon as you get this behind you!!!

Well I now have a couple of hurdles to jump through just to get to this event but I have not given up on it! I will be there if I can! Hopefully I can hook up with the group in Clinton for the ride to Marion.

Nick,
Hey, thanks for posting that! Glad y'all are going, too! If you've never been, then you're in for a very special treat! If ya have, then you already know. Anyway, there is the possibility of a longcut ride happening, at least in my case, so... If you and/or Bert have any interest in that, just say the word. Also, the Clinton meet-up and ride there is always an amazing social and actual ride experience in addition to everything else, so I enthusiastically recommend consideration of that, as well. I'm very much looking forward to hanging with y'all again!!!

That is so true about a great time to be had!!! You are in for some adventures and wonderful experiences down the road that you can't even imagine... I get plum giddy myself just thinking about them again! All in time, though, and it is important to use the intervening time wisely in preparation... no shortcuts or express lanes, just do the right thing every time, all the time, and what lies ahead is... well, trust me, it is worth everything it takes to get there! You've already had some excellent bites of the apple, but there is so much more yet to come! And, there is no telling from which direction good things may come at you. Who could, for example, have anticipated the experiences to follow when you first sought to sell you VTX and placed that ad...? Just meeting Sweet Checks alone became an opportunity that has and will pay huge dividends for years to come! For yours truly, it is the characters I've come across that is the absolute best part of my own experience... Anyway, hang in there, ol' bud, and get ready... The best is yet to come!!! DDT |

Yeah Bruce I already secured a room in Clinton on the 27th so we can ride in with the Cool Kids. Never done this ride before, but have been on a lot of the roads up that way. We are going to leave on the 26th and stop somewhere between FL & Tenn, then roll in to Clinton late afternoon. Let me know what plans u have, as nothing is in stone for the ride up, except getting to Clinton for the 27th. |

For those feeling a little more adventurous the road south from Hwy 42 through Nebo is a bit of a goat trail but rideable.
Drag the little man to it to see what it looks like.

Burke's garden is a GREAT place to ride to... I looked at 42 with streetview, it looked good too... south of Nebo looks exciting ... alternatively, if too exciting, the Lee Highway through there can be used instead of 81. I remember riding through there once and every now and then I could look over and see all the transfer trucks over on 81 and being all smug and stuff... -Mike |

For the brave there's a farm/forest road 623 that runs south out of Burkes Garden. I rode it on my ST1300 years ago. Some of the switchbacks were so tight I had to do a back and forth shuffle on a couple of them. And squeeze through some narrow overgrown parts.  |
