Last ride of the season
And it was a doozy, the day started out fairly good, worked 4 hours, then drove down to my parking spot and unloaded. Plan was to make the first trip in with necessities and then make a couple more to haul the 1/3 cord of firewood I brought along. Well as they say, the “Best more »

This was the best ride all season. 11 members showed up for breakfast and it was more than I had figured on. Dean (you all do remember our past president Mr. Allen) even showed up. Almost thought it was ghost at first :). Interactive map of the route we took Share on Facebook
