I pulled in around 10 pm tonight from southern Indiana. It was a great rally in a great spot. Thanks to Joel and others for all their hard work in planning the rally. It was great seeing everyone and meeting new folks.

We made it home this evening. After leaving Estes Park Friday morning we rode West and spent Friday night in Glenwood Springs, Saturday we meandered down to Silverton and spent Saturday night in Gunnison, rode Sunday to Dodge City, KS and then got home today around 4:00 p.m. Mike, Darlene, Debbie and I had a great time! It was good to see some old friends and meet new several new ones. Thanks Joel and Rod for hosting a great rally!

Got home tonight around 7 pm. Left Estes Park and went to Albuquerque to visit some friends. Started home on Sunday and did the 1650 miles in two days. Great rally and good to see everyone again.

We made it home today about 3:30pm. Had a great time, thank you to everybody involved in putting on this rally. Beautiful place to ride!
Sorry that Ray blew out his front wheel bearing on the way home, but hope he'll be on his way home by tomorrow.

Thanks to Joel and everyone that helped to make Mountain Madness a great rally. I got home at around 3:30 today after spending a few days in the Black Hills. Thank you to Cal for leading us on some great rides in CO. Denny, Sally, Ray and I had a great time riding the Black Hills. Sure hope Ray makes it home tomorrow.

**rayski271** · 07-03-2013, 10:12 AM

Yeah, those canyon rides are fun. I have driven some of them in a car, wishing I was on the Nomad. Last week I got my wish. Had a great time.

Heading out again on Thursday for 4 days down to southern WI. Four days rest and some maintenance on Mr. Nomad and we are ready to go!

I wish you all a good and safe Independence Day.

Ruth and I made it home friday evening just fine thanks to Norma and Mark. Many thanks to them, to Joel for getting Ruth down the stairs and into Tom Green's truck and thanks to Tom for just handing me his keys when I asked if he could take Ruth to the hospital in his truck. And MANY thanks to all of you who have shown your concern and shared your prayers.

I deeply regret that I was unable to spend any time with Ray, Gibby and the rest that came to the Hills, but Ruth was still dizzy from the Vertigo which she had in addition to the dehydration. Today is the first day she has felt near normal; possibly because she is now off most of her meds (which included Valium).

Many thanks to Joel and Rod. It was great to see old, and to meet new, friends.

See you at the next one (or in the Hills if you come --let us know!)

Noel and Ruth
