We'll be riding to NM from Tucson to hook up with Billnourse then on to SLC, Boise, Idaho Falls and then Billings. The return trip is wide open at this point. For those of you traveling through the Salt Lake City area, we'll be there on the 25th. If this works with your schedules we can try to meet up there, or later in Billings. Bill says he is already packed and ready to leave. I'm not packed, but could be by tomorrow.

Finally put our route together: We'll be heading North from Superior, Arizona and going through Globe and then the beautiful twisties of the Salt River Canyon, then through Show Low, Concho, and St. Johns (Arizona) and north on 191 to Sanders and Highway 40 to Gallup, New Mexico. From there it's up to Cortez, Colorado, and Mesa Verde National Monument. Then Vernal, Utah, and Flaming Gorge, Jackson Hole, Wyoming and the Grand Tetons and of course Yellowstone. From Yellowstone we'll head north on the Beartooth Highway and into Red Lodge, Montana. We'll be staying at the historic Pollard Hotel in Red Lodge - -it's just a short ride from Red Lodge to Billings. I look forward to seeing you all.

Hey guys!

I live 10.5 miles from Beartooth HD in Laurel, MT.

UNFORTUNATELY, I must leave town early the morning of June 30 for an out of state meeting. The National rally is in my backyard and I won't be here!!!

I will be in attendance at the kickoff party the evening of the 29th at Beartooth HD....and if all goes as planned I will have my new Ultra by then too! (it's been on order for 2 months)

Please consider this an invitation:
All HOG members are invited to stop by my Chevrolet dealership in Laurel, MT from the 26th of June thru the 8th of July for a free cup of Starbucks coffee. We own Fichtner Chevrolet. Exit 434 off of I90. This is the exit that you take to go to Red Lodge and Yellowstone Park via the Beartooth Highway.

Some of you might recognize me from the CorvetteForum

Anyway, if you can stop by feel free. I hope to see some of you on the 29th before I leave.

Enjoy your time in our beautiful part of the country!!

Ken Fichtner

You all ride safe! Since we live up here about 150 miles from Boise, we won't leave until Tuesday. Across the Snake and up over Brownlee Summit. Wanted to come Monday, but my stepson cannot get loose from work until about 10- 12 on Tuesday... ( Will just barely make it to get the RIdaho packets, so keep your fingers crossed for us!

Gary's ride is tomorrow and we have a bunch of bikes and beautiful weather scheduled. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Kate
