With the winner chosen it was now time for me to determine if I could attend the gathering.  Can I get the time off from work?  Will I have the funds to make the trip?  Should I ship the bike over to the West Coast?  Questions, Questions, Questions!  And later into the process came an unexpected one, my son announced that he was getting married in May!  SHAZAM!  Fortunately for me he choose a date early into the month and this opened up the opportunity.

Of course there were other questions but it became quite clear!  This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to become a…

No doubt alcoholism and drunk driving have been and continues to be a problem for New Mexicans. We have had our share of drunk driver related deaths, some very infamous. This includes the likes of Gordon House. House was convicted in 1995 of four counts of vehicular homicide and other charges for the 1992 Christmas Eve deaths of Melanie Cravens, an Albuquerque woman, and her three young daughters.

The four died when House's car, going east in the westbound lanes of Interstate 40, slammed head-on into a car carrying Cravens and her daughters Kandyce, 9; Erin 8; and Kacee, 5.

House testified he had consumed 7 beers in the hours before the crash but said his disorientation was caused by a migraine headache

However, through a program of continuous awareness and stricter laws, penalties and enforcement, New Mexico works hard to reduce DUI related deaths on our highways. In 2004, New Mexico was the 5th leading state for DUI related deaths per capita. The following information is based on 2012 statistics.

A little history for you Simon.  I believe when it was started, that it was meant as a joke (at least that's how I took it)....somebody (wasn't me, I just repeated it) said that if you don't have a CVO you can attend our GTGs and rides for a year but that when photos are being taken.....you have to move your bike down the street.

There are still a lot of members on this forum that were here back then.  Somebody reminded me of that and I reminded the group.  Again, I believe it was just a joke and I believe (I HOPE!) that everybody on a non CVO took it that way.  I think it's one of those things....you had to be there. :2vrolijk_21:

Post by: MIKEYTEE on June 06, 2016, 05:30:17 PM
I don't think that's the way it works, at least on the East Coast or east of the Rocky Mountains. In Fact you can host a GTG or 4 without owning a CVO. Don't ask me how I know that. :2vrolijk_21:

Decision Time!  The projected heat was to be in the 100’s!  Death Valley was considered.  Estimated temps could be 117 mid-day!

The answer?  An early wake-up and make the journey through Death Valley!  Go on the bike at 62 degrees!  Arrived at Death Valley entrance with 93 degrees at 8am.

Here I was spend the final night in Music City – Nashville

It’s Sunday morning and time for my final leg on the trip back to Georgia.  It has been 20 days on the road and by the time I get back ~ 8,000 miles of bliss!  What a wonderful opportunity I have had and thank you to all that I encountered along the way.

These events have become a special part of my life and the friends I have made are priceless.  Each one of you have a special place in my heart and soul and I appreciate all you do to make it special.

I can’t wait to start a ticker for the potential of an upcoming Yellowstone Gathering next year!  What an awesome place, members and world we have it.

Thanks for taking the journey with me!  Until the next one – Enjoy the Ride!

Proud to be a Redwood Original

Jock thanks for taking us along w/you on your journey... the way you share and present your travels are above and beyond... you should really consider being a tour guide as a second (primary) occupation as you can definitely compete (do better than those you met on the road)...
Plenty of tour groups on the road….English please!
