Thanks Steve & Jerry
There might still be an advantage to being smaller. and not stuck on the middle of July…we had a wet day at the rally site on Sunday, but I’m glad there only 6 of us there….sunny on Minday morning
The Greal Lakes (unsalted & Shark Free) always provide the needed cooling in July!

July 10, 2017 at 2:18 pm #64514TREPANIER JERRYSpectatorVery good. We must have left during a dry spell. We dumped our tanks in the dump out station, then dumped our fresh water on the far side of the lot (so I didn’t have to drive home a trailer with a half empty sloshing fresh water tank) and the guys loading didn’t have to do it in a pond and hit the road. I don’t think we hit rain all the way home. Was actually sunny by the time we hit Kalamazoo.
Maybe the weather gods will take cookies and brownies, maybe jerky next year…

Even had to don his security hat for a local “wannabee” organizer.

July 10, 2017 at 2:18 pm #64529Roy JacksonSpectatorSounds lke I missed a good rally. This is the first RA rally I have missed in a while. I went to Utah rally with that other club. Only the second rally I ever stayed at a motel instead of camp., but I knew it was going to be hot. I was not disapointed. 🙂 Next year in Boise in July. I’m out. I only went to Utah because that was the last area of the lower 48 that I had not ridden in. I can’t wait to see where we are going next year and when. Oct. in AR was perfect. The rally in Utah did not break 5000, yet want to bet they don’t change the dates is the future and less people will go the the MOA rallies. Last year at the Buffalo rally I think there were almost as many RV’s as people tenting. Not what I am looking for in a rally. Go RA…
July 10, 2017 at 2:18 pm #59707TREPANIER JERRYSpectatorThanks to all the organizers, volunteers and vendors at the rally. It was a great spot, great location, great weather and wonderful time. Hope everyone made it to their next destination safely!

July 10, 2017 at 2:18 pm #64510Steven GetzSpectatorDitto all the above praise and thanks.
This weekend our friends in MOA will rally in Salt Lake City. Here are a suggested few forum topics to discuss on the MOA site:
-the daytime July SLC temps are unexpectedly hot
-the nighttime July SLC temps are unexpectedly hot
-the areas leading into SLC are too hot for riding
-not enough tree-shaded camping areas
-not enough grassy area camping areas
-the (fill in the blank) area had no ac
-the premium fuel was only 91 octane
-the premium beer was only 3.2 octane
-i was dehydrated and had to drink water, not beer
-why does the committee pick these sites?
Again, RA, well done.
