Going there this weekend, anyone else up there, be sure and wave, you'll know me, I always ride in a thong and flip flops.

sometimes, I wear sunglasses so no one knows who I am.

Seriously, y'all ride safe, if'n you're on the interstate, you'll see a squad about every 10 miles. And they won't want to be bored.

Agree...love Galena. Beautiful area, cool downtown with lots of fun restaurants. We even did the alpine slide up on Chestnut Mountain once...it was hoot.
