To the Moto Guzzi rally in Salida, CO.




Pops flew in and we grabbed a couple of bikes and took off for the Guzzi rally in Salida. Overnighted in Moab and saw some the sites around there. Met up with Clark as well as the Kerensky crew, for a great dinner at Buck's. Thanks Jerry!

Second day was full of great riding getting to Salida. The Salida Sons of Italy Chapter did a great job of feeding and entertaining on Saturday night.

When the rally was over, we headed north toward Steamboat. Plenty of snow left at the higher elevations!

Dinosaur National Monument visitor center in Colorado is closed on Monday and Tuesday.

25-27 June are the dates for the national Moto Guzzi rally in Salida. Check http://www.motoguzzicolo.com/ , for updates.

Meeting with Professor Gary




Professor Gary was going to be in Dubois, Wy. with a few of his friends, they were passing through on their 3 week moto tour. Three of us, including Carpenter Mike and the Colonel, rode through rain and snow to meet the group at the Rustic Pine ( http://www.rusticpinetavern.com/ ) for dinner. I recommend going there and ordering the London broil.

Two of us headed toward Mt. Home, ID. the next morning with the group. The Colonel headed another way to go work on a merit badge.

The two of us visited, Teton National Park, Craters of the Moon National Monument, Hagerman Fossil beds N.M., Minidoka Internment National Monument, and City of Rocks National Preserve.

If you find yourself in Oakley, Idaho, Judy's Cafe is the place to eat.
