I've been out of the loop for awhile and, quite frankly, haven't gotten to do a great deal of riding this year, for one reason or another. That said, I do have a couple to submit (and did submit for real this time)...and thanks to Bob for reminding me to jump on the wagon!

Riding out to LaPine last year with Bob; I have these two submissions in...

‎⁨Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest⁩, ⁨Dixie⁩, ⁨Idaho⁩; on the way to Star to spend the night at my brother and sister-in-law's house.

On our way back from LaPine, we headed for the coast and rode north, then turned eastward; stopping in Glacier National Park, where this shot was taken.

I'm hoping that by next spring, I'll be permanently closer to these places. ;)

We've had an influx of entries, so we officially have a competition! But I'd still like to see more entries so keep 'em coming.

Also I have changed Blueridgerider's 2nd submission of Duane & Maralee's Home during the Remembrance Ride to Duane's (1911) final submission to the calendar. Duane entered photos in every contest we've held over the last 7 years.

Please check your submissions over on the calendar contest page to make sure I have things right.

I'm glad we have enough entries to do this proper. My calendar has become an annual Xmas present to ... me! The gift that keeps on giving.

This is wrapping up. There are a LOT of people that normally submit photos who didn't send anything in this year. That's sad because there are normally a lot of people playing and I look forward to seeing all the great photos.

Come on guys, send Tim some photos!

I wish I'd had more time to play this year, but it's been full of life changes. Still got one in but the FJR has sat more than she's been ridden, kinda sad about that but it is what it is.

I'm with you. I've ridden a fair amount this year but it's almost all been day trips to the same places I've been dozens of times. Haven't been lucky enough to get to venture out for a long weekend other than EOM.

Neither does mine...but I will enjoy the winning applicants' entries!

As long as Scooterboy keeps his face out of it, he's golden.
