Memorial Day ride 2010

[Pat Calkins "Corn Dog"]

Just a suggestion at this point, but thought we might like to assemble the troops this Memorial Day and ride to a memorial in Rochester, MN.  Below is the link to the memorial.  Take a look and we will discuss it at future meetings.  I of course would lead this ride, being the 444 Star Chapter Vet rep.   (I know, a scary thought)

That would be cool.  A nice change from our usually in town/around town trip.

Here is another thought for our Vets Rep.  How about a "Ride within a Ride".  We are making a trip to Hansen's Hold Up in Arcadia, WI an annual event.  Debbie and I went to the Veterans Memorial Park down in Arcadia on one of our trips there.  It would be a short ride down the hill into town.  Here is a link -

It is one of the most complete memorials I've seen.  It honors every war and conflict in our history.  Very moving.  Well worth an extra hour or so to visit.

Another very good suggestion.

I checked out both sites suggested by Pat and Ducky and really like the idea, do you think we could do both in one day?? 

[Pat Calkins "Corn Dog"]

Given the time and the weather, why not?  Ride, ride, ride, ride.......   That is what we do.

Hey Rich, I'm planning on a ride on Memorial Day too. Let's hook up and do something together.

[RANGER & GW]

Sound like a plan. Have you been there before Wolf? We can find a spot to meet up and leave early morning make a day of it. And anyone else who would like to join us is more than welcome.

That sounds like a long day but a good one. If Charm gets her long distance stamina up and her licence we might go.

[wolfraider]

She still has a couple weeks to get ready. So let's not waste any time! 

[Doug Kathy IGH]

I should have my license by then. Just give me an hour (or two) head start and we can arrive at the same time.

Don't forget all, the memorial day ride will be a chapter event and will be lead by our Vet,s Rep Pat all other chapters are welcome to join us

If you folks end up at Hanson's Hideout let me know.  I'm only about 40 miles away from there.  Maybe we could meet up with the two Chapters. 
Also, the park in Arcadia is really worth the trip.  And your close from Hanson's Hideout.  I don't know exactly how many miles you have gone if you get to Hanson's Hideout but here is another destination.  Another 60 miles maybe is the Highgrounds in Neilsville.  Another Veterans memorial park.  Great place. 
If interested in meeting send me an e-mail.  My address is LoneEagle44mag@aol.com   
I'll try and get back to your forum to visit but seems I don't have enough time sometimes.
