I realized after getting home that I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked, but these are a few I did have worth posting.
Please feel free to add yours to this thread.



The old KOA still a wreck.

It was a great time at the rally, and it was great seeing everyone again, along with the first time meetings!
Until next time, my good friends.

My 86 and my 89 were both there. But I just stopped by to say hi.and then spent the rest of the time with my family at the cabin and riding with my brother. He rode my 89. His first time on a bike in 20+ years.

My other brother that I got the parts for the right side shifter, from Leon. Finally got his bike all worked out. Couldn't get off work.

Anyway I wish I could have come sit by the campfire. But it's good spending time with family.

See you all next year.

It was a great time, as always, and pics hardly do it justice, as always.  Leon, it was great to meet you and your son Cory.

We had more FJs than anything else, but that isn't always the case.  ("There sure are a lot of FJs at this FJR rally!")  We are getting close to having more KTMs or Ducatis than FJs.  People left / came back at various times, so there wasn't an opportunity to do a big lineup as we have done in the past.  (The KOA was great for that.) 

I still have to order a couple from 129photos and killboy, and I still have to replace my iPhone's charge port so I can charge the phone and download photos from that.  But here are a couple.








I didn't take many photos this time, though, I was too busy having a blast.

I didn't take many either.  :unknown:
As luck would have it, my tow vehicle is in this thread multiple times, but my FJ isn't.    :dash2:

I think Bill left a bit too much on the edges...

That damned Danny Lewis suckered me into (yet another) 30-40 mile gravel road... "Look here at the GPS, we're almost to the end of it!", he says.




But it ended up at a cool location:

KOA: Kampgrounds Of Amerika, infamous chain of family-friendly kampgrounds, site of previous FJ rallies. It was sucked away a couple of years ago by a tornado. Direct hit.
