Great rally, I'm looking forward to it!  This year I hope to remember to turn on the fuel tap and not stall out and fall at the lower gravel driveway apron.

Will the dorms be open Thursday? Sandy and I hope to come early if they are, otherwise, we will arrive Friday.

This year we are offering a group ride to begin after Saturday breakfast.  We will meet at the upper building on the asphalt parking lot.   Weather permitting, we will take back scenic routes to Rt. 78, which is super fun and curvy, until we get to the Big Muskie Bucket.   If you aren't aware, click to learn.  It's an awesome example of incredible engineering in it's time.

from the Muskie Bucket, we will travel to Stockport, Oh to enjoy the Stockport Mill Restaurant, which is powered by the Muskingham river using Hydroelectricity.  After a nice lunch, great company, views and food, we will head back to Zanesville for the remainder of the rally festivities.   
I will have a sign up sheet in the Q hut for those wishing to come along.  Not sure of timeline yet, but will get with the cook at Friendly Hills and see if we can bump up breakfast a bit.

Have you checked/made arrangements with the mill for lunch?  On their web site it lists Saturday hours as 5-9 PM.  It's for sure an interesting place.  I went there once and, being a retired electrical engineer, got to talking with one of the guys there who offered me a tour of the turbine room downstairs.  That was great!

Also, can someone tell me who the guy on the right (red kerchief) is?  I think I know him but I can't be sure.  And, is that an ancient form of Leroy in the bottom row?

Howard,
I think we are going to the 555 Diner instead.   Change of plan.  Also the guy on the far right is Mark Dasher, a fantastic motorcyclist.  Haha, yes, we were all much younger then!   Including Leroy!

Another great rally in the books.  In spite of the rain, 99 registered guests.  A good time had by all as usual as the rain didn't dampen spirits.

Special thanks to Andrea, Cathy and Dave and the kitchen ladies for all of the work. 

Anyone who is in striking distance of this rally should try to put it on their calendar next year.
