Ya'll come! It'll be good for what ails ya and you don't even need to ask your doctor. No side effects to be warned about by someone talking at hyper-speed. We'll see you there!

Any spare flyers for a shop in Boise?

Sagerat- That's easy for you to say!

Just mapped out a route to Hayden Lake, ID, boy are the major towns, on even the best route, scarser than hens teeth. LoL I hope I get better gas milage than I planned for, or my pocket book is surely going to feel like I have been robbed, by a pick-pocket of something, that is if gas prices don't come down by then.

What will be the camping accomodation be like, I'll have to pitch a tent, motels are a bit pricy? Also, I hope shopping for food and camp supplies isn't going to be any problem either, by the time I get their I will certainly have to stock up, for the return trip. Will pets be allowed in the camp areas also?

I hope I can get the rig put together and road tested by then, a two thousand mile round trip should be nice to start the summer touring with.

If you can send a flyer by email, then send me one to.

jls.rockhound@sbcglobal.net

Flyer is on the way via cyberspace... Pets certainly welcome. If Archie can't come, I won't be there and you can bet I'll be there! I'm thinking the rest of your questions are answered on the flyer. If not, shoot me an e-mail. Or Billie. See ya there!

Hey Jim- it bounced back. I sent it to the exact e-address you specified, jlsrockhound@sbcglobal.net but it says it doesn't recognize that address. You can go to Vernon's web site and get a flyer or drop me a line at tewells@centurytel.net and I'll send one, OK?

Sorry Tom: My BAD! I forgot to add a Dot after jls. I corrected it in my post, please to try again. Started my sidecar modification, at least I got the basket off the frame and on a wagon to move it around. now comes the tricky part, the all important cut and placement of the mount modification, just a couple of steps closer to being able to make the trip to Hayden Lake, ID.

right in my back yard. ask 5252 anything about hayden.

5252: What are the nights like in mid June? If all comes together, I wouldn't want to pack to light, but on the same note, space and weight being at a premium, I wouldn't want to pack my heavier, warmer gear, if moderate weather gear will suffice. I believe in layering clothing and bedding, but I don't want to bring sub freezing clothing and/or bedding, if it is unadvisable.

the weather is really simple around here. you rust followed by sunburn followed by frostbite. all in the same fifteen minutes. this can go on all day. especially in june. bring all the clothes you can carry. some daily temp spreads can be up to fifty degrees in spring. here is a weather link;

I was about to change my mind about traveling to Hayden Lake, because of your doom and gloom forcast, But seeing that the average high is 74 degrees and the low is 50 degrees, as posted on the weather site you provided, unless a cold front or mass is forcast, it sounds pretty moderate to nice, that time of spring/summer.

sorry about the gloom and doom. it is more like a few small storms to dodge followed by very intense sunshine. i am going with fifty fifty chance of rain/sun and leave it at that. ask me about the cafes watering holes good twisties etc....;D

My route takes me up Hwy 95 from Winnemucca, NV, I think I will have enough twisties on the way, thank you very much. Although at this point, everything pretty much depends on whether I am able to finish my work on my sidecar and motorcycle and checking it's road worthiness.

Enough twisties? Is there ever enough? ;>)

Well, I've had to reconsider my plans on attending the NW Regional Rally, it seems that their is going to be a local Street Vibration,Spring Rally that same week-end. Given the time constrants, I will feel better giving my rig a good shake down, closer to home, riding with other riders from the Rally, during Poker runs and senic rides, Not to mention the Venders and great food to be had at same. Knowing how few sidecar rigs their are in town, I could possibly be the only one to represent riders with sidecars and we certainly need all the exposure we can make. Hopefully, helping to increase the interest and number of new sidecar riders.

Sorry,

Jim in Reno NV

be sure and stop at beak's roadhouse in granite.......cool folks
