Dave glad to see you got home safe. Linda and took the scenic route through the Columbia Gorge, then the back way home. It sure was nice to get off the interstate that last 100 miles. It was a cool 70 degrees here in Western Oregon.

Took me 15 hours to get back home.  760 miles.  On one stretch I was a mile into it and saw a sign that said no gas for 167 miles.  I had to turn back and buy a gas can to strap to the back of the bike so I could make it.  It came in handy again when I pushed it too far and ran out of gas about 120 miles from home.

We have all said our ado's and have headed to our rooms to pack for our rides home. We did how ever say see you next year in Eureka Springs, Ar.  I would like to thank Virg and Cindy for putting on a great Drifter rally. The rides were totally awesome. We saw parts of Utah and learned the history about the areas we traveled. Thank you Utah Dave for guiding us. The dinner couldn't have been better, no one left the tables hungry. Virg did give rides in his side near the end of the day. In the photo Mike lit a cigarette, then slammed the front of his helmet down breaking the cigarette . Everyone just busted up laughing.  Hope you enjoyed the posts and we'll see you next year in Arkansas.

The Drift-in this year had bikes from 13 different states, Kansas, Maryland, Florida, Minnesota, Indiana, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Louisiana. Minus a few lost nuts and bolts We've had no major issues. Most of us will return a lot darker than when we headed here, yep a lot of sun.
