LOL.....Coming from you Ryan, that actually means something! I have never had any formal journalism training, yet I write annually for a local fishing magazine (have a piece coming out in about three weeks) and things like this ROK article. I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the good grade!

Cheers....Kris

Nice job, Kris! I enjoyed reading it and have to concur that NW has some of the most amazing roads and scenery in the entire country.

Hey Kris
The weather is supposed to be improved by the end of the week. Its been a real sh**y spring. I should get licenced this week and am really looking forward to a ride.

Trying to get some landscaping going around home. Irrigation is in and should be able to get sod by the end of the month. Seems like the jobs never end around here!!! (end of whine! lol)
