I would like to thank TRIP for bringing this awesome group of riders together. Thank you to Wolfman & Cactus Jack for taking the responsibility to organize & lead the '08 Western Rally. I rode at the rear of the formation & seeing the parade in front of me was a delight to see.

Next time Anita will ride the whole way!!

Made it home about noon today. See my other post here:

Checking in here, also. Round trip a little over 1100 miles. Decided to take the weekend to get back. Glad I did, the temperatures were abominable. Rolled into Chandler this morning about 9:30. I had a very nice time and had the pleasure of meeting a bunch of very nice people. I hope we meet again in slightly cooler temperatures.

I got home Friday, June 27 at about 5:00 pm. I put on a total of 3300 miles during the trip.

That must make you about the last one home then.

Lucky devil. I've been back at work since Tuesday.

Hey! That's a four letter word, are you allowed to use that kind of thing here?

Only if you live in it!

Good to see you made it Gene!

Hey Gene, I'm glad to see you made it home okay. Thanks for coming to the rally.

I guess that just leaves Mike Cunningham unaccounted for, then?

did valdez ever make it home?

Nope, no Valdez as of today. Should we send out a search party? His last reported location was near Las Vegas........

Hey fella's - Got back the 29th after two weeks on the road. 3,062 miles of twisties! It was a fantastic ride and having the rally in the middle was just right! It was great to meet those we were able to hook up with. Thanks WM & CJ for your work making this happen.

We enjoyed the ride with Dan from Bryce to Mesquite. By the way my man - Patty's fine, and still smiling. BD, Nico and the Hooligans were a treasure to find in the desert. Audio and brother, just fine folks. Idaho? Another real man! It was cool meeting the Caddman and wife too. Redeye's family is always a treat! We are happy to have met you all! Wish we had more time to visit together.

We're off to Oregon in two weeks for another one of these deals..... Hope to see everyone in South Dakota next year. In the meantime, we'd like to see our Westside brothers on a run to northern California sometime. We have some gems of a road up this way. If you're ever wanting to ride this way, we are fueled up and ready to roll the power on!

I'm happy to know you made it home safely, Valdez. It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife at the rally. Must be heading up to the VROC rally in Oregon?

Hey Valdez,

Lets hook up on the way to custer next year.

CJ - That's it - Leaving for the VROC Oregon Trails International Rally on June 16th. We'll be taking the coast route up. You're welcome to join us for the ride if you've the mind.....

WM - I'd be honored to ride to SD with you. Let's plan it!

By the way I've ridden this Nomad now for one year and will break 22,000 miles this week. I told Patty if I didn't have a job to go back to I would have turned this bike around and headed right back to Utah! What a beautiful state to ride through....

Ride scared

Ron, I'm sorry we didn't get to yack more. These things are always too short to get to know everybody. I'm trying to get the hooligans up to the Sequoias for an overnighter once the weather cools off a bit. We'll keep in touch.
