I'M BACK FROM VACATION

After 5600+ miles on the new truck and 1500+ miles on the motorcycle, I have made it safely home.

I had a great time at the reunion. I sent out a message earlier and gave the names of all who attended the reunion. Gene and I gave unit coins to all of us that attended. It was good seeing the guys from the unit, six or seven of which were in country when I was. After the reunion, I waited acouple of days to see any farther arrivals and then I departed. I then went to see Gil "Deacon" Palmer for a day, then I departed for Pleasant Valley, Montana (about 60 miles West of Kalispel) to see Lynn "Droopy" Beckhorn for the first time in 38 years. Had a great visit with both of the guys.

Then, I departed to see as much of the Northwest as I could before Sturgis. I went to the Evil Kenevel bike rally in Butte, MT., then on to Belgrade, MT. where I met Peter Fonda "Mr. Easy Rider" in the Harley Davidson Dealership. From there I went to Yellowstone Park where I spent the night watching Old Faithful. The next morning I departed for Cody, WY. where I arrived in time for the blessing of the bikes (I was a little late for the other activities) at the Beartooth Rally. After noon, I departed for Sturgis and 15 days of camping, bike riding, gambling (in Deadwood and other locations) and revelry of all kinds. Sturgis was wild! If you go there, you will never go to a gentleman's club again, the Gentlemens Clubs are too tame. WHAT A BLAST. I got home on Wednesday and crashed for nearly 24 hours.

Had to go get my mail today and a few groceries to hold me together until I can go to the big store in Texarkana next week, or the week after. At least after I start my economic recovery from the trip. I spent over $1,000 on gas alone. But the trip and seeing the guys made it all worth the effort.
