Well it's late and I'm finally getting around to posting. This is only the second time we've been able to get on-line. We've been on back roads and not around much civilization up here. I can't believe how many rivers they have and how big they are. It got dark around 11:30 which was a real blessing...

Hey Tawm, we're missing you (and your guitar) and wish you were helping us write our ride report! We haven't had much internet access though, as we've been in some pretty remote areas. It sounds like you are having fun, so keep it up! Danno

Dale and I pulled into Hyder yesterday and I met my goal for this trip. I'm farther north than I've ever been and I'm in Alaska! We found out a guy from Tigard, the town that I grew up in, has a fishing business here. Jim Simpson and his sister Carol (she was in my class) moved here in the early 70'...

Lee, I read your post and was wondering. WHAT!!!??? Maybe it will come to me later.

This is great! I'm going on the second day, and I haven't ever seen one bear! Life is good! Danno

Jimmy (and everyone else) we have the Fox Creek group campsite for Friday and Saturday night. I will be there sometime Friday. I'll need to check on a few things Saturday, so I can finish roll charts before midnight! Danno

It's official, we will have free camping at Fox Creek Group site again this year. We will be there Friday, Sept. 12th and Saturday, Sept. 13th and the ride is Sunday. For those coming early and would like to ride Saturday, I'll have roll charts from previous years rides. Come up to Detroit Lake and ...

Our own Mike Moore, sweep rider, excellent bike rider, and all around great guy, gave us a clinic on scrubbing speed. The problem is; when attacking the hill going up on Bald Mt., you can get too much speed. If you over shoot, you may possibly tumble all the way to the valley floor. Here is Mike, do...

Lee, you always crack me up! I'm looking forward to seeing you and Bonnie! Lee, you're right about the showers. They run on quarters, and they run out right when the last bit of soap rinses off! Man it sure felt good, though. I had 2 days ride on one shower! There is talk that we might have a place ...

I just got home from working on this years course with Tom and gang. I have to say I'm quite impressed with the course Tom has for the day to The Dalles. Fantastic views, great 2-track, very little dust, fabulous single track and NO SNOW! We had Steve Doan with us Saturday, and Jim Dukes, Mike Moore...

Brad, I love your guy's video work and excellent soundtracks! I can't wait to get over that way and ride with you guys again. Was that hill right after the sand bowl, hole in the ground? Keep up the good work! Danno

Vern, I had a great time at your class. I told Amy my only regret was I hadn't done it sooner. Yeah, yeah, I know you told me so.... I had been a skeptic on the classroom part of the course but I learned a few things by taking it. You teach very well, even though you sometimes get a bit jumpy! Monic...

Thanks again guys, most of you don't realize how much your help and support did for me. I'm working on this idea that's a little outside the box. Your ideas and criticisms are making this develop. A little different pespective goes a long way. Something I forgot to mention, at the awards, is the fat...

Gary A. gets the credit on the staging area. I wouldn't have found it unless you guys pointed it out. Something I liked about it was the fact it was affordable. I would like to keep pricing in check for the Scaredy Cat. I want to provide free camping for our participants and this helped. Last year a...

Well, I can de-stress a bit now, we got this one done! I didn't really have that much stress, thanks to the good help that we are getting! We are getting some quality people involved with the NWT&T events, as of late. Again, much thanks to you folks... You are making it work. I'll post more late...
