Some of our favorite views were a bit muted by the weather.

The rain kept the cameras in bags for most of the interesting parts of the ride.

All in all the weather could have been better but we had a great time with some good folks. Wished some of you guys could have come too.

What a beautiful place to live and ride,
wow you guys are blessed

BTW, you're photos may be worth some big $$$ with the National Enquirer
as they confirm the existence of spacemen and bigfoot ;)

[Juice]

Awesome Job Guys.

I do wish that we could have made it over. Even with the bad weather it still looks like one hell of a good time. Was it just local Texans or did you get some out of state riders as well?

[Ritten]

Even with the rain it looks like it was a fun day! Thanks for sharing.

Even with the rain it looks like it was a fun day! Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, well, Bable12 it was supposed to be 2 to 3 fun days. We rode in the rain Saturday, but by Saturday evening, it was a constant downpour that didn't let up until late Monday afternoon...and then only for a few minutes. Tuesday (1st day back at work) was lovely. qwer

Juice...we had New Mexicans and Texans too. It was fun to meet some truly fun dual sport folks though...and hey, we had lots of beer. :)

[scootertrash]

Yeah I like the shot with the UFO in the back ground.

[Rocky]

Sucks about the bad weather. But It's all good when biker people get together.

[Fitty]

Yeah, I saw the post over on ADVRider. I have GOT to get back out there with the KLR.

Yeah, well, you know what??!! I can pull my own weight too...that picture looks familiar, but it was just me and my CBR600.....so how do you like them apples??!! (I got it up too.....)

[Flying Low]

thanks for sharing the report. sorry the weather didn't cooperate more, but some of the fun of dual sporting is getting wet. although, probably not as wet as y'all got.

[DukeRyder]

Wow, awsome ride! Wish I coulda been there (even with the rain; great looking country out there).
