    EOM 2018 - Location Discussion

    Georgia is a bit more of a trip for us northern folks. I did the ride down from Troy MI to Wytheville, approx 460 if i remember. I know the FL people would be all 'sure, i'll be up there this afternoon'. Not that i don't enjoy Georgia though. As this was my first EOM, i certainly don't have...

    EOM 2017 - Home Safe

    D2 and I made it to Dundee MI, after leaving out of VA; 456 miles. 259 home today and got in around 3:30. We had 1950 miles for the trip (6 days), which was a great time. Thanks to all who made us feel welcome, and glad to meet a bunch of y'all.

    MI to ME trip, mid July 2017

    Well, we did some of the intended trip. We ran through Can, NY, VT, NH and bits of ME on the east side of White Mtn Nat Park (HWY 113). The weather was mostly decent, though we got buried in Rain in NY. It was fairly warm in VT and NH, though the traveling was quite nice. Grand views of the...

    Towns named Atlanta

    Cool, I hung out with my cousin ( ham operator on a corner ) way back in the day for a rally in the UP. T'was at night. It was awesome watching them rip through the woods at scary speeds in the middle of the night. I'll try and keep that date in mind, so i can go down and take a look.

    SIN_R (Southern Indiana Ramble, SIR) May 18-21, 2017

    I got as far down as Grand Rapids, to pick up D2, but the it was cold, rainy, and looked way worse heading south. Sorry to miss it. Hopefully I'll get to meet up with y'all soon.

    2017 SEO Ramble, May 5-7

    I'm afraid we're going to have to pass on this. Too much rain for my daughter and I. Was looking forward to meeting up with y'all. Hopefully SINR will be a good weekend.

    MI to ME trip, mid July 2017

    Nice, looking at the Acadia now, very nice. I was in NH as a youngster, climbed Mt Adams. I forget how grand that area is. I'm thinking to add those areas on the plan, maybe Albany, then up through Green Mtn area, then through White Mtn area, then over into ME. We'll be missing lower ME...

    MI to ME trip, mid July 2017

    Hello all, After sneaking days off for SEOR, SINR, and EOM, I have 1 week left of VACA, so daughter #1 and I are thinking to head up into ME during July. Our basic plan is 550 - 600 miles to Syracuse area on day one, but easier days with maybe day long breaks for the next week. We're loosely...

    Towns named Atlanta

    Very nice. Give a shout when you're heading through, as i'm up in the north land of the mitt. If you've never been, the M119 tunnel of trees is a must ride. I work about 10 minutes from there, so I am on there quite often through the summer...

    There's an Atlanta MI as well, though not much to speak of. On M33, heading north in the Mitt. There's a chance of seeing an elk or two, but not a very good one.

    Ack, this is torture. Such a spiffy ride and too cold to get out. Gearing up and farkling only keeps the weeping at bay so much.

    Tech Day XIV

    Yikes, it's awful chilly in early April in northern MI. I'm gonna loosely plan to get to this, so i guess I'll say a solid maybe.
