3rd Nat'l NT Rally-Jul 10-13, 2013 - Spearfish, SD

Alex - With so many unique individuals planning to attend Spearfish, the loss of even one is a shame. Sorry we won't have the opportunity to meet, shake hands, and swap war stories.
My plans have changed too after a trial camping run last week, and I will not be camping. Too much junk to get all of it on board, so I will be motelling this year after all.
Best wishes for your trip next year!
 
Sorry to miss you Alex. I'm sure you could make it, but it is supposed to be a fun trip. If it ain't fun - don't do it. Your description of the rain rung my bell. If it is raining as hard as a Vietnam monsoon, that's more than anyone should ride in. Stay healthy for the next trip.

Getting started later than I wanted, but looking at KSU at 0630...475 miles to Tucumcari and points beyond. See everyone in Spearfish!
PS
See you Phil in Briggsdale!
 
It's a nice cool start compared to what we've been seeing so great timing. See you in just a few days.
 
Just as a reminder, if you are taking back roads to the rally, be sure to check with the states you are going through.
Montana has a number of 7-9 mile sections of construction that are marked "motorcycles consider another route"...

I too am sorry to not seeing Alex....

The Weezer (Wee 650) is serviced and packed. Being that SpearFish is only 400 miles from my place and I am going to Bell Motel it, I am traveling light. Only need the top box with my clothes for four days. Will be there Thursday with some of my ST buddies. Looking forward to riding some of the dirt roads and double track trails around the area. See you all there. Ride safe.
 
I started heading North-East today. Today was an easy ride from Eureka CA to Lakeview OR As some of you know I left my house June 27th. :). I have spent quite a few days in the saddle and covered 2900 miles so far. More direct routes from home are less than 900 miles but do not include Ruedi, Moab, Yosemite, and riding up the California coast on highway 1.

I am ahead of schedule a bit and will kill some time at Yellowstone and make it to Spearfish on the 10th. See everyone there.
 
Sounds like you're having a great ride, Kevin! See you Wednesday afternoon!
 
LOL.. some folks just have to show up early and get the best spot.. LOL I thought all those areas were still considered 'primitive camping'.. hey, not complaining, it's still the nicest campground I've ever been at. See you in a couple days.
 
Safe in keystone tonite. Todat rode north rim of the black canyon, independence pass and fremont pass. Tomorrow loveland pass, berthoud pass and trail ridge pkwy
 
I WAS leaving tomorrow to arrive on Wednesday, but I had a few set backs. I'll ride US 2 to MN 23 to US 212 and west. Looks like I'll be traveling Wednesday and Thursday so I'll plan to camp whereever there is room left. I'm not sure that "reserving" a spot for a friend is approptiate when folks are pouring in. My current ETA is Thrusday PM. I'm as excited as a kid at Christmas time. See Ya.

The place is big and we've yet to even come close to filling it up so don't worry about that, have a safe ride.
