If anyone has extra beds on the main property and is looking to share let me know. They only had one cabin left and it was a queen bed only.

As of now, I ended up renting the Bunkhouse on Main#5. Has a King and 2 twins. If anyone is looking to share a place let me know. If you happen to be a couple you can have the King.

I wish I could come up there for the whole week but I had some prior commitments. And the motorcycle trailer I wanted to rent has already been reserved note to self do it earlier so I'll just bring the VTX maybe next year I'll have my own trailer I see what you can get the mounts really easy to put on. What's fun about that Nighthawk is it's nimble compared to my other two. My next thing get running is my 1982 Honda MB5.

My FZ6 was nimble too...been looking at Craigslist once in a while to see if someone has a very low mileage one.  My wife would kill me though...LOL.

It was nice seeing you two guys but Ruthy and myself in no way could have pulled off this event without the help of Connie, Wayne, Becky and Steve.  Plus the members that helped with donations and in all honesty having members like we do right now make it a whole lot easier and takes stress off the BOD. 

Sunday morning when I checked out of the Pioneer Park and turned in the keys to the Rec Room, the residents and management of Pioneer Park told me again at how much they like our group and that we are by far the best biker group they have all year.  This would have to be the highlight of this whole week for me.  It's makes me PROUD to be a part of this group. 

Another year has come and gone but remember, another year will come and go....See you at the big one....BLUEBONNET THUNDER RALLY XV, 2018!!!!!!!!

I agree, you can't be a slave to your job no matter how good you think it is.  A job is just that, they pay you to do something.  If your name is not on the sign out front then you shouldn't spend more time there than you spend with family and friends.
