Getting short now. I was out of town on business all last week so now have to focus on getting gear together for a 31 May 14 launch. Leaving a day earlier than planned so I can spend a day with Jim and his wife in St Louis to test out our radio connection. If my CB doesn't have the required range I will add a longer antenna on the bike somewhere. While I was out of town last week I left bike with the local Yamaha dealer for a full service and checkout. To change oil on this bike the skid plate has to come off so I did that prior to dropping off since it is a pain to take off and get back on.
I didn't get much done this past week-end because Liz and I were rafting/kayaking the Big Piney with a bunch of our friends. Best count was around 10 oar rafts, 4 canoes and 6 kayaks (40 people). Lots of fun and some carnage. We had to rescue two different paddle rafts full of inexperienced paddlers but no one was hurt (one pinned against a tree in the big Surfing Rapid). One canoe was rapped around one of the three sisters rocks below Little Mother Rapid but Cooper got it off, of course.
Next week-end is dedicated to packing. Day one of AK1 was in heavy rain so I'm hoping for a bright sunny ride up to St Louis this time.
