my july

it was too hot to work in July. I had to get out. Left providence and went all the way to CT.

That wasn't enough. Headed down to VA with some folks headed to the MOA rally. I saw this and decided I couldn't go there myself:

Went here instead.

You could see blue ridges from that road.

What is it with people, rallies, and trailers. What I woke up to in Rapid City.

You can get away from the sturgis folks if you don't mind an incredibly well maintained dirt road.

Had to stopp in Hilliard, OH, to meet another (I think?) BMW ambassador

[IMG]http://ferrance.com/albums/album04/bmwrider.sized.jpg[/IMG]

If you haven't been, it's a must. Sign photos are mandatory. Only the best of the best of the best make it here.

[IMG]http://ferrance.com/albums/album04/hilliard.sized.jpg[/IMG]

After hilliard, there was nothing to do but head straight home. 800 miles, 2 gas stops, 12.5 hours.

At least I don't always have to where the Darien anymore. For a while, at least.
