Bob & Mary,
Enjoyed meeting you both at Bloomsburg. PEI Ron encouraged me to "take a
ride on up" to enjoy the great weather & rally that you host. I rode with three
of your Salty Fog Rider alumni last year traveling from the Redmond Rally; all
confirmed your coastline tour & Larrys River are not to be missed! As a follow-
up to my post #22; Dara & I are putting the "finishing touches" on our plan to
join you this year. The check is "in the mail" with the pre-registration form!
We really look forward to seeing you both & sharing the adventure with others.
"Travel'in John" & Dara

Glad that you considered our buddy Ron's encouragement and can join us. Personal Email sent to you. - Bob

Excellent! Our first hack and first canine. Lots of room in Larry's River for photo ops and running dogs! Personal email sent to you. - Bob

you'll be a busy camera guy this year Tom! I really look forward to putting the pieces together and making Salty Fog: The Movie as a document of this year's rally. - Bob

Awesome! If we have a camera guy I'll leave the DSLR home and have some fun on the other side of the lens! I have surprisingly few shots of us on the road. I even put a RAM mount on the side case so all I have to do is push the darned button, but have so much fun on the road I forget it's back there!

I'll do what I can, but I'm a lot better at stills -- and don't you dare leave that camera home, Pete!

You know that you don't know what the trip was like until you've seen everybody's shots.

that's so true Tom! Blending all the photos and video helps tell the story. That's one reason that I would like assembling an 8 to 10 minute video that can be sent to attendees, interested folks, trip report and TA-DA!.... YouTube. Anyone riding copilot (aka pillion) can really add to the mix with pictures 'on the run'. This year we get to spash some Atlantic Ocean water on a couple of Texas wheels and have Pete's buddy Barley holding down the hack . Can Barley take pictures??

Lots of fun and still some room. - Bob

Oh no Bob, say it is not so.. Atlantic water on my Texas wheels..

That means that all of the grack that I have been keeping on them will be washed off.

Then again after 38 + days of the gates of hell being open and nary a drop of water to be found that is going to make for a nice change.

Good timing. Mary and I were just talking about helping you with that 'Atlantic Ocean Wheel Dip' possibility and I was going to take a walk down the road here in Larry's River to find a suitable spot. Great 'Photo Op' moment I think! A few strands of seaweed on the wheel should make for a great conversation piece.

It will be cooler here but pleasant. You need rain and we pray for sun. Crazy weather. - Bob

What other rally can you go to and have indoor parking and bedroll space upstaires at such an economical price? Our new barn makes it possible this year. 24 days and counting........ - Bob

[m0rbid45]

Bob,

But you did not mention anything about ear plugs that came with the indoor parking and bed roll space.

Guess I am going to have to bring ya some stuff from our barn to help you with that new smelling barn that you got.

Since Mack is suggesting to bring some good ol' Texas barn-yard aroma to our Larry's River barn the fresh air of Meat Cove will be more than welcome! The good folks at the Meat Cove Campground - perched on the cliff's edge of an amazing ocean vista - have just promised us the prize camping spot for maximum view. They usually do not make reservations but they have for us. Fortunate. It's only a hundred paces from the excellent food at the Chowder Hut! - Bob

How is the work on the barn going?

How is the work on the barn going?

will post a couple of pictures later today ( I hope..... using a community wi-fi location so a bit cumbersome). Ever want to build a barn? You better have a liking for shingling...... almost all shingles. Don't want to hijack my own thread here but I will get to a couple of pics later. Windows going in and siding painted and ready to install. It will be a great place to park the bikes! - Bob
