We need to work out lodging arrangements, the place where we have gone in the past is very nice and with the right number of people can be affordable.
The permits costs have changed this year it’s now a yearly permit from 1/1- 12/31 and the price is $47 each.
I will be taking Lois and I think Robert is taking his wife, so we will need to know for sure if who’s going and will need a solid commitment.
As of right now Robert and I have just been talking but if we want to turn this into a real trip then we need to plan it ASAP.

FYI- Grandma can be a bit slower on the trails, oh she a very good rider but tends to just rider on the slower side. I want you all to know that just incase. We all normally stay in one group and we don’t do any of the black trails, some of the black trails can be very challenging even for the expert riders, which I am not.

I heard you got socks in KY, had to cross the river/bridge??? Sure if we can get a plan fall works for us. A great big mud hole jumped in front of me...only me. Not sure how that happened. Mudbear winched me out but I was miserable (more than normal) until we "snuck" into KY for socks!!! AHHHH 35 degrees and wet feet...not good! Robby It's "Winter, Spring, Summer or Fa-a-all, all you gotta do is Ca-a-all."

Pictures look good Tom. Did you get to the cemetery this time or was it still blocked?

The photobuck account is Mikes, Mike and Dano both asked about you, Jerry and the ladies. We all missed the good home cooking this year from the ladies but it was so much easier to just stop and eat out, we did find some new places in Man, Gilbert and Justices to eat. Unfortunately we could get to the Cemetery but not because of the BIG A** tree, this year they have trails 25, 45 and 91 closed do to gas well work in the area. We did try and go down 25 (what sign) we got all the way to the bottom of that really bad descent just to come across tree stumps blocking the road that were put there by the oil company and we could see the guys working on the wells, which also meant no coal mine either. I think that was the worst I have seen the hill climb back up, we all stopped at the top to unpucker. That climb was the talk of the trailer all night, the trail must have been closed for some time there were small trees and stuff all over till we reach the BIG Stumps, it was fun now that were all back home, you know me I was puckering bad all the way up.. I did find the cabin in the woods and the Tower, we looked for a way down the Mt to catch the road to the other side of the gas wells but we just could find one. The new guys all said the girls make that climb, all I cloud do was say ya they do. We did the whole loop at Pinnacle Creek, you see in the photos Mark found a big mud hole, I even made it through one but no one had a camera out. ;D I got to lead all week. We stayed in Marty’s new place and as you can see in the photos no porch, he did asked about the dryer repair guy. We talked about Misha, you remember Misha? Seems she hasn’t been back but the old boyfriend has. Darn. All in all we had a great trip, great weather and Great friends…

Glad to hear you had a good time. One quick question did you have a current map? ;D I know Laurie would like to do some riding yet this year but we'll see she is getting her knee done Tuesday. ACL and miniscus.

Yes I did have a current map!!
Wish Laurie a speedy recovery from both Lois and I, and we hope things will be better for her knee.
I’m sure we’ll get out a time or two before the snow fly’s again, riding is not top on Lois’s list any more, she wants to do more with the bikes then with the machines this years, I think were going back to Manitowoc, WI for a bike tour this summer.
Were going out for a short ride in the next few weeks with a friend from work and his wife, this will his wifes first trail ride so it will be a small group and a short ride,plus will she how Lois does with her foot, that will tell her a bunch.
Keep us post on Laurie.
