Festar and I live such clean lives we were not infected!
Irish whiskey further proves itself as an excellent antiseptic.

Hard to infect something pickled.

I often have found myself when I was not looking, nor did that discovery take place where I thought it would!

Just wanted to give a big thanks to John for hosting the event.

Line and I had a great time and she got to see quite a few spots that we had to skip past in 2022 as well as some great friends in a beautiful setting.

Special thanks to the Spearfish Lions Club for the terrific steak dinner!

Thanks, just wish I had found a few minutes to talk to you both other than to shove a second piece of cake at you.

Thanks for making the long trip.

Got back to Spearfish today to load my bike and Madmudder's on the trailer for the return trip to Pittsburgh and Ontario. We had lots of fun all the way to the California coast and back to our temporary home base in Spearfish. More later.

Thanks so much John for putting together such a great event. Great seeing everyone!

Finally home. About 5000 miles on the FJR to and from Madmudder's trailer and from Spearfish and beyond. Great time. I'll post a ride report at some point.
