GAWildKat Posted May 18, 2017 Share #7 Posted May 18, 2017 That bites, but understandable. It's in the air if Mike and I can make it this year. We want to go, but the insanity at home might keep us here this year. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIC Posted May 22, 2017 Share #15 Posted May 22, 2017 Aug 9th.... Dinner? I'll put it on my phone in case we can meet. Maybe we can get KIC and others in area to join up... That would work for me. also, I would like to extend an invitation if you would like to stay with us those days, we have plenty of rooms, a garage for the bike, tools for any service you want to perform and most important ( in Arizona summer) a POOL. Feel free to contact me if you are interested. Also we could have a BBQ at the house since the other two Venture Riders live close by..No VideoArizona will have a small trek to the house, but he's done it before..

Condor Posted May 25, 2017 Share #24 Posted May 25, 2017 So we can go to Grand Canyon. Was too hot every other attempt Just wishful thinking on my part Annie.... I'm not good for much of anything with this screwed up knee.... Ya gotta do the canyon even if it's nothing more than driving to the village and back out. There's one Holy Moly!! view site on the way in that give you a lasting impression. Don't forget the camera.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videoarizona Posted May 25, 2017 Share #25 Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Just wishful thinking on my part Annie.... I'm not good for much of anything with this screwed up knee.... Ya gotta do the canyon even if it's nothing more than driving to the village and back out. There's one Holy Moly!! view site on the way in that give you a lasting impression. Don't forget the camera.... Agreed, but I would do the North Rim. The ride down to it, then back up past the Vermillion Cliffs and around to Marble Canyon and down to Flagstaff is worth it. And cooler. No crowds like the South Rim. Edited May 25, 2017 by videoarizona add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
