  We're late to arrive, got in last night at 1030pm after having helped Randy fix 3 bikes do numerous orders and post out, loaded the trailer 3 times but each time we got it loaded had to take them off cause we could only fit 2 bikes instead of 3.
Loads of peoples here, great to catch last yrs attendees and to meet ones who didn't attend last yr

George, glad you made it home. Hope all is well.

Made it home as well. Had a great time, it was another great rally. Hope to see everyone again next year.

Just rolled in too. Special appreciation to Mark (FJ Monkey) for finishing the last 100 miles with me on #5 slab. We weren't slugs but I imagine you would have gone a little faster without me. 

My ass hurts!

Home, unloaded and it is hot in Oakdale.

101 according to the car thermometer...

I got home as well, all unpacked and having a cold one. With Mike's help we leapfrogged in team work, making a pocket for the other FJ to fit and run up to the next open spot. I don't know if I would have made it home quicker but I feel we made home safer. Can't wait for the next rally. I really enjoyed meeting many of you face to face, when I post I now have a better feel of who I am addressing and when I give anyone any crap they know I am really just having fun. For anyone that missed it, you missed a great rally. Looking forward to Renegade Rally and anything other rally I can make this year...

Home and safe for Craig Z and I ,   the tie down strap was sawed thru by that damn axe rubbing on it at the front right fork.
all good cause the other three held the bike in place and no damage at all.

I just added up the miles... A minor 610 from door, back to door. The slab home was the worst, a bit hot and boring... But the event was well worth it...

Great time with some new and many old buds.  Absolutely wonderful riding with the "fast 5" on hwy 20 last night guys... AND Diane (Mrs Flynt) had great time, expressing many of the same things Lilly said about the group.  Thanks to everyone for moving her ever closer to the dark side.

Post those pics boys!

I rolled in just after 7pm, which is damn near 12 hours to the minute with stops.  Brian texted saying he made it home fine as well.

Ride back was uneventful, hot and had strong head winds 95% of the way.

Getting everything ready to head out in the morning.

Hopefully see everyone next year.

I just stopped in Wyoming for the night, around 925 miles.
I have 1000+ to make it home tomorrow.

I had a wonderful time, and it's always great meeting fresh faces and getting together with the familiar ones.
We have a great group of people.
Very glad to have made it to a West Cost Rally and finally meeting Marsh and Klavdy for the first time, you guys were great!

George, my thoughts are with you and I wish you the very best, you didn't need this, and I hope you will find your way back to us when the time is right.

And to my roomies, Mike and Mark, thanks for the company, those first two days there were pretty quiet without you!.

I also wanted to give a shout out to Capt. Ron, thanks, I feel I made a new friend and I really enjoyed your company both on and off the bikes.

I'll add more when I finally make it back home...
