Nice post Joe!

Rick V wreck.

Ouch.

He had an angel looking over him that day.

If my crap T-Mobile phone hadn't somehow managed to make the ONLY contact anyones phone could the EMT would have been a long time coming.

After we'd told the EMT exactly where we were I couldn't make a connection again.

The " June Ride " would be a good one to make     It's going to be in Kentucky this year.

Thanks Joe. Great pics. When I look at pictures of your "back yard" and compare them with what we have here in FL, I sure miss the mountains and twisties that we have up in New England.

On the other hand, here I'm riding now and it's not in single digit temps like up North.

Excellent photos Joe thanks for posting them.
There is one photo of someone about half way down with perfect "HAIR" wasting a perfectly good bottle of Wild Turkey that needs to be addressed!!

[HayHauler]

Thanks for sharing your pictures Joe!  Looks like you have had a bunch of really good rides with lots of friends.

We was going on a ride and had the Kickin' Chicken 101 in Mark's saddlebag. While waiting on some other riders THE Detn8er was diggin' in his saddlebag for something and placed the unopened bottle on the pavement.....You guessed it he kicked it over     All was good we stopped later that day and he bought another bottle.... I miss those rides

I upgraded my DSL connection from ultra-slow/extra-cheap to kind-of-slow/sort-of-cheap, and
can now mostly watch a youtube video without it jerking and buffering... I watched these and
they reminded me of this thread. I took them all on the ride up to Gettysburg.

A lazy stop along the way (I don't know if this will be helpful or hurtful to you snowbound folks)...

  lazy stop

Some of the rain we saw that day...

  rain

Somewhere in Virginia, I think, there was a big regrouping of folks who had gotten
scattered by the rain... I caught up with a big group at a gas stop, and the whole bunch of us
screamed down the highway the rest of the way... here's a little bit of that, and us stopping at
the Pennsylvania Welcome Center... I lured Highbinder into lens range near the end...

That's EXACTLY why I buy the plastic bottles for travelin'.
