 If you have never been, it is definitely a fun, good ride to go on! Folks REALLY do come from all over. On my second run down on this ride I meet a couple from California. Their plan was to continue down to the Florida keys, explore southern Florida and make it back home "sometime" in June! 

Retirement...sounds like a good idea to me! 8)

On Dec 30, 2011, @ 3am I left my house and trailered my bike from N.E. corner to just south of Bham. There I met up with BR members and we rode mostly backroads down to Stockton. I loaded the bike up and made it home around 11pm.

Springer's GPS led us off course, so Rodney took over and we rode about 10 miles on a dirt road to get back on track.

Here's a few pics.

 Really need a picture of my GPS for folks to realize why "it quit working".  :D :D

 Best picture I have of my "GPS" mounted to the tank...in case y'all are wondering WTF? That is blue painters tape(removes with out leaving sticky stuff behind) and what y'all cann't see are the hand written directions.

The problem with this "GPS" is once my hand writing gets "cold" even I can't read it.  :D :D

I have a good pic of the GPS, just don't know where it is at the moment. I think you were looking for 95 instead of 9 S.

Also, your gloves were soaked from the fog. We didn't get any rain that morning.

and how many ways there are to get back to the same point.

O and a word of advice. Get gas before you get there. Every really close station will be low. The one across the street will run completely out.

Susan and I and possibly more will coming out of Robertsdale that morning and the plan is to meet Gulfcoaster in Spanish Fort about 8:20~. Look for us in the shopping center parking lot on the north east corner of Hwy 31 and 225. I'm easy to spot us, will be the Black and Gray Wing.

I think I seen that you where in Mobile.
It's a beautiful day, let's go somewhere....
