    Ordered chaos I can dig it.
    My grandfather always used to say when finally leaving on a trip or something thing.
    "Were off like a herd of turtles. "

    Go with the flow.

    Does anyone know a dude in the Burg that rides a red wee strom with teeth? He has gone by my work a few times. (R. S. Mongers) it's just that my strom is the only one I have seen on that street. It's kinda out of the way.
    It's always great to see other adventure riders.

    The red wee strom with teeth would be valongbeard

    Remember once I saw a blue VStrom 2-3 times in a week riding around HBurg. I asked HBN if he knew who it was, he didn't know. Few days later I pull into the Zook dealer in town and this guy rolls up next to me 30 seconds later. I thought it was a strange coincidence. Then I learned in a town that size you bump into people all the time.:D

    yearning to return......

    Thanks for stopping by Allen. Dixie pulled a groundhog out of the woodpile when we got back, at least we know what she was barking at all day.

    I was ambling along Old Mans Run AKA Tom's Park Lane (FR 1117) yesterday w/ a buddy around 3PM and almost ran into a group of riders coming down to Little Dry River Road. Luckily we missed and all was well - but I turned around to say high and the group split. Was that anyone from here?

    The group was about 5-6 - newer bikes - some Honda XR/CRFs - and Klim Gear.

    I only wanted to say hi :D
