If your route is taking you near Spokane, WA Would like to meet you if you would like to take a break in the area.

Dennis Peabody, I will be going through Spokane, on my way to Missoula for my first nights' stop.

I'll send you a PM, private message, and we can arrange to connect to meet that day.

Unfortunately Ruth and I are not able to make it this year. Our granddaughter is graduating from HS and her party is on the 24th. So proud of her and wouldn’t miss it for the world! Not even for a sidecar rally. Wishing all of you a very safe and enjoyable ride and rally! Enjoy!

I've reserved the Gull Point Lodge in the park for the rally headquarters.  The lodge is the large log building on the shore of the lake.

Those who have not yet registered for the rally should note that the registration fee goes up by $10 on June 1st.

I talked with John Dennis, Iowa's State Representative for USCA, this week.  John used to host the East Central Iowa Sidecar Rally, a one day event, at the National Motorcycle Museum grounds in Anamosa, IA.  As CCJON commented in an earlier post, the museum will be closing this year and some of the bikes and display items will go on the auction block.  It is worth going some distance out of your way to see what they have on display.

Today I began receiving emails and a phone call from rally registrants saying they received an email saying they need to pay the registration fee for this year's USCA national rally.  CCjon told me that it was something the online rally registration program did when mail-in registrations were added to the list of registrations.  Because the information appeared without online payment, an email was automatically sent reminding them to pay the fees.  Apparently it is another instance of technology giving us unintended consequences.

If you registered by mail and sent your check payment with the form for registration(s) and shirt(s) you may disregard emails saying you forgot to pay.  Unless, or course, it comes from bandojan@ncn.net.  That would be me.  :^)

I'm all signed up.  Just wondering are there lighting bugs to see at night.  Oh being near the lake how many gallons of bug spray should I bring sleeping in a tent.

Question for the @Tax Man:  Will there be signage on Hwy 86 that tells us where to turn into the Gull Point State Park ?

As in, are we entering that park on Edgewood Drive, off Hwy 86 ?

There are a few roads off Hwy 86 that take you into the Gull Point State Park, just wanting to have a heads up, so I know in advance to program my lead sled as to which corner to power slide the rear end of BattleWing Galactica into the road we need to take.
