From: louie on 28 May 2007 10:39 It is 68� here at the FW side of DFW. Isn't it nearly June? Just looking around I see that 104�'s it predicted for Thursday out in Arizona. If summer ain't coming here, we need to go to it. Wednesday a.m., heading that way, Southern Az, Grand Canyon, up into Utah, over to Colorado, down through New Mexico and back to Cowtown. Who's going? ....louie

That will probably be as far as I can go IF my vacation time is approved. No word on the approval yet as its a holiday. I hope to find out tommorow when all the big wigs are back. Redshad

Could turn into one of those wet/dry runs that will keep a guy changing socks real often.. I talked to our friend and riding buddy, Jerry.. this morning and he's all geared up to make this run.. The meeting place will be in Van Horn, Wednesday even- ing .. no time certain, at this point.. From Van Horn, we should make a nice run through El Paso.. New Mexico and Arizona .. to be in Casa Grande, Arizona sometime Thursday evening.. Depending of course, on the sightseeing and lollygagging that everyone is inclined to do.. There is a tremendous amount of things to "lollygag" over, out there in that country, if one is interested in the hist- ory of the Old West.. Not to mention.. the proximity of the Mexico border .. We'll be running parallel to that border for much of the way from Van Horn.. Lots' of neat little border towns from about Deming, NM .. all the way to Tucson, that are only a few min- utes away from the route that we'll be riding.. The first range of "mountains" will be between Pecos, Tx and El Paso.. although they aren't comparable to the mountains in Arkansas, or deep into Mexico, they are interesting to ride through.. After that, the ride is pretty flat and straight until we get through New Mexico and into Arizona.. Buddy Helscel is anxiously getting ready for us to get there.. hmmm.. I think he's anticipating looking over those new GoldWings.. He's ready for some "down home" company that he can talk to.. After all.. it is common knowledge that most of the Arizona "people" are from up north someplace and they don't really speak the language of all us old Texans and Oklahoma folks.. Dodging the rain showers and staying dry should be the most pressing problems that we encounter on this run.. Everyone seems to be taking pains to make sure their ride is up to the trip.. Gonna be a sure nuff good one.. Regards Bill Walker > >

I'd go with y'all, but I've got to be out there by the time y'all leave on Wednesday....gimme a call when you guys get close by out there and we'll hook up, if we can. Now I'll be sitting back watching the weather closely to catch a "between the showers" opportunity....
