The General and I had a great ride yesterday and made into camp late last night in Caliente, NV.  Heading for New Mexico today.  Thanks to all for an excellent time at the WCR!

Rick, yep I have your chairs and spatula.

I also ended up with another brand new spatula that I do not know who it belongs to.

I want to thank Pat for coordinating this years WCR; thanks for keeping the tradition alive.

I also want to personally thank everyone for attending. It seems as time rolls on we have more and more demands on our time. That in turn has taken many of our members away from attending the WCR.

It was great to see everyone and I hope those who weren't able to attend this year will circle May 31 - June 2 on their 2019 calendars right now. I do not recall voting on the location yet, but we will have a place soon enough.

As always, the WCR produced another fantastic event of great riding, great friends and a camaraderie that seems to have been lost in everyday life. Hell, the campfire conversations for many went into the wee hours of the next day each night around the campfire.

Thanks again, Randy & Chandra

P.S....I believe I heard conversation that Frank is going to have to wear the drinks bitch shirt for the whole rally next year including the rides... :bomb:

Hey guys, Paul and I are checking in. Sorry for the late post.
Now enjoying Saturday night in Moab, UT.
Yeee Haa! Cowgirls galore.
We left Pet-the-Tuna and traveled up to Oregon cross to Idaho over to Wyoming down to Colorado and back to Utah, about 2,600 miles so far....more to come. We expect over 4K miles before the end.
Spent the day hiking in Canyonlands, sore legs feel good.
Reservations tomorrow night in Capitol Reef.
Paul lost the muffler can off his Kerker outside of Boise (weren't we just talking about that?) His other bike is a Harley, so he feels right at home with the open pipe.
Brrrrraaaap Brrraaap Braaaappppaaa (a la Southpark)
Fucking FJ absolutely howls thru the canyons....sounds bitchen.
All is well, life is good. These are the good old days.

Any word from Captn Ron and Dougie?

Thanks for the great time at the WCR! We need to decide where to go in 2019.

Cheers!   Pat

I am looking forward to ride/trip reports from Richard & Julie and well as the General. (hint hint)

Maybe they should post up about their US adventures and I can link them since they will have the WCR report included.
