No Patricia...... dates don't work out this time

[GAWildKat]

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.

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..

I will be happy to buy you guys a root beer float or even a full blown lunch.

[Carbon_One]

Sounds like a great trip you have planned there Annie. We should see you & Al at the Root Beer stand. Safe & enjoyable travels.

[Marcarl]

Ontario???? eh!!! sounds like a M&G time,,,, would you be available?

[Condor]

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....

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.
