Say Paul, If you are going to Yosemite and PCH, that means you will be traveling near here, where AmyLee and I live. We are about 75 miles from Yosemite and about 120 miles from Monterey/Carmel Ca. We will be heading to Prescott on Wednesday the 1st of June. If your in the neighborhood prior to Prescott we can met up if you have the time.
Bob 
Thanks Bob. I'm still mulling it over because it will add to the cost of my trip. If I do it, I plan to be somewhere around Yosemite on Monday night and head to the coast Tuesday. So Wednesday could work out. I will pm you contact info. closer to when I leave.

That's like how I tell people in MD and CA to get to my house - Take US 50 E for 1100 miles/W for 1800 miles, go north on 32 Road to D 1/2, etc. And yet, they still get lost... Still waiting for final assembly on the bike. Frustrating!

Dwight, them suthron boys say that they're bringin' grits, but they didn't say if they be sharin'. Mikey does like the occasional bowl of Georgia ice cream.(Especially with butter, cheese and some secret herbs and spices)

Dwight -
Not sure if I will be down Thurs evening or Friday sometime - depends on work stuff. Is there a plan for the ride on Saturday? Just checking, as I may have to make a stop in Flagstaff Sat afternoon to wish some graduates good luck!!!
Do I still have one of the guest beds???
Anything you want me to do from this end?

Thanks to Z's intervention it looks like I'm in (and riding, not driving). However other things are up in the air so I don't know if I'll meet the PACNW group in Boise or Wellville.

Hi Becky.
Yep, I've planned the circular route, Prescott-Jerome-Sedona-Flagstaff-down Lake Mary Rd to Camp Verde-Prescott, sent up for Saturday. And so, if you want to split off for a while once you're back in Flag in order to attend that graduate get-together, then you can meet back up with us in Prescott later that day.
And yep, you've got the den/computer room with the foldout bed waitin' for ya.
Can't think of anything I'd like ya to help out with, except maybe helpin' out with ride marshaling during the run.
Thanks,
Dwight

Just got back from Kansas City and I think I am about to get sent to Joplin. If I get that call I can't with any conscience turn it down. That is a heartbreaking event.

Yeah Ron, I was wondering if you might be sent there following this catastrophe those poor folks just got hit with there. It looks gruesome. And so it looks like you'll probably be missin' this shindig again this year, huh?!

I am planning on doing the run for the moment. I am standby now to see how much they need.
Just spent the afternoon at the Triumph dealer. I have to say the Storm just isn't doin it for me. They have a blue and white T-bird there that was flirting real hard with my "Gotta have one" impulse center.

Sure hope you can make it this year Ron, however from what I'm seein' on The News, it looks to me as if they're gonna need a lot of your time, I'm sorry to say.

Yeah, I've always thought that "Cobra-esque" blue and white paint job on the T-Bird was the best lookin' one.

Chin up, Dave! As the old Brooklyn Dodger fans used to say..."Wait 'til next year"!
(..and hopefully, in 2012, one certain young Cardinal fan can make that come true and get to Prescott!)
