What? Stimulating the economy or reading the article? Just kidding.

OK, I finally finished reading the latest edition. First time I have read this magazine.

The pics of Glacier National Park made me want to go tomorrow. Looking at the pics of Flathead Lake and GNP confirms that this area would be a great choice for the 2010 NW Regional Rally.

Boy that mag sure spends a lot on the paper and pics....high quality. Explains why it is $6.95 per. But the writing is just average. I do like the format of several tour reports (they also covered Hawaii, Colorado, + N. Carolina, and a European tour in this edition, along with a bike review and a few product reviews.

OK Professor John, do I get a passing grade for turning in my book report?

Pass.

Thanks for the report. Now, I'll have to go out and get a copy.

I've been reading Road Rider for several years, now. Agree with you on the quality of the paper and photos. Outstanding. But, some of the writing is a little lite. Some of the articles remind me of travelogues you see on PBS.

I haven't riden the upper part of Montana, yet. Flown over it a couple of times and was impressed. Got to Great Falls and did get to ride from GF to Missoula on 200. Beautiful ride. Very little traffic and great scinery. Yep, think that we need to plan on Montana for next year. I think that Kalispell would be a great meeting place.

I just saw a deal on the national news the other night about GNP. They say all the glaciers in GNP will have melted by 2020 and there will be none left. Global warming has decimated the glaciers and it is what it is.

It must still be a beautiful place to see and ride...so I too think Kalispell would be a great place to meet up in 2010.

Kalispell sounds good to me too. Lets include it on the poll when we do it.

Include it? Heck....it will be at the top of the list... ! Besides, we haven't heard any real arguments for somewhere else yet have we (which we are certainly open to)?
