Eastern Arizona 2021

[BILLIJAK]

I got back to S Falls Tuesday afternoon....after a 2.5 hour flight . I know most everybody else had a much longer drive home . Had a small skin cancer removed at dermatologist Wednesday morning, and headed north back to home.

I had a blast...the roads were great...scenery was spectacular...and the weather was comfortable - for the most part. What a group of great people...and riders, all. Not a dud in the whole group!

Kurt & Sally ... a truly interesting and varied ride...scenery and roads and locations ..the mine, the lake, (traffic in Payson), etc...what a great meal on Saturday afternoon...and the campside fellowship was great....(have I used that word before?)...and Sally thanks for the info at the mine overlook.

Kevin & Mary, a pleasure to see you guys again. Kevin, thanks for the information and help with the tools at the mine overlook! (Loctite is our friend )

Chuck and Karen...what a ride!...thanks for the test drive...between the motor and the heli-bars...what a ride!

Lola, a pleasure to meet you...what an inspiration to see you travel that far to the area...alone!...and what a rider!

Jim...a fellow GW rider! ...a pleasure to meet you...(and glad you found a total stranger at McDonalds Friday morning!)

Bob...Longest traveler? (or is it the MS couple?) Dessert at the Saturday meal was excellent!!

Nick & Gladys (?) Clint Eastwood?!? Ha! ... glad you were able to make it Saturday and was really nice riding back to AJ with you guys after Morenci...you really 'turned up the wick' on the way back!

I sure hope this AZ ride continues, whether Eastern or Western or Northern or Southern or....I'd ride with this group again...anywhere!

And to all the Vets ... Thank You for your service.

Bill,

Right after hello last year Lola told me that I had to host this ride every year so yes it will go on as long as I am able. Dates for next year will be posted very soon. It will be the same week I just need to make sure of the exact date. Looks to me at first glance it will be 9/29-10/3.

Maybe I can make all three rides next year.

We made the first one last year but couldn't make this one. In east Tennessee with some friends doing some great riding of our own. Definitely want to get the 2022 ride on our schedule. Great area and Kurt you do a great job spearheading this. No good deed goes unpunished buddy. It's yours now and everyone wants in, lol. Nice problem to have!

I wanted to make this year's trike meet but other things got in the way. Both my wife and I were diagnosed with COVID in Maggie Valley, we decided to cancel our trip to visit family and friends up and down the East Coast and return home to San Diego. we were both treated For COVID at the Haywood Regional Medical Center in Waynesville, NC. When we got back it was too late to go to Eastern Arizona. We did make it to Richmond, VA to my brothers house to pickup an old antique engine that my dad found back in the mid 60's. It was manufactured in 1927. Got to get it back together and get it running again.

Maybe next year.
