It's the Holiday gas station on the left side of the road.  Turn left on Hwy 10, then the second drive way to the right.

In spite of some errors on my part, at least everyone was safe and the weather was great. 

I appreciate all who participated in the Memorial Day ride.  I will post some pictures later on, after I take a nap. yes, a nap, I am getting older and I tire easily.

Thank you very much for the very very nice ride!!!  Heck, I didn't even notice the errors Pat, I was just glad to be out put miles on the Raider instead of being stuck with my nose in my school books.  Great choice on the lunch spot too!!

Thanks for the wonderful ride today, Pat.  I would not have missed it!  Especially pulling into the the Winona
Memorial park where you read some staggering statistics & who we really need to thank for our freedom!  Very impressive.

Thank you Eagle Bob for the tour of the house with the boulder in the bedroom.  YIKES! 

Sorry to those who missed this awesome ride & thanks again, guys!

I am trying to post these pictures on this forum, but am having some trouble.  I need to post on the 444 web site under the gallery section, but can't figure out how to do that too.  Help!!!!!!!!

Thanks.  Here is a picture that reminded me of the 98 year old WW II vet we met at the Hastings Veterans Home.

Sorry I missed the rides this weekend but I spent 22 hours in the shop. I have the bed done but now I am making the night stands. I may be going on fewer rides this year.
