Me too. Coming from the South hoping the roads are all passable. Was planning on riding up OK 18/KS 15, then West on 166. Lots of creek crossings on that route, but it is a bit more interesting.

Bringing dirtbike on trailer. Leaving BA 9 or 10 am. Hoping the NISMO does not need a snorkle

We still set it out and Rolla Missouri last night. The leisure lake trip should get a salmon in the afternoon.
You got to love talking into a phone..

You get a shiver in the dark, it's a rainin' in the park........He's the Sultan, The Sultan of Cedar Vale. (My apoligies to Mark Knopfler)

I'll likely be there tomorrow. ~~Not sure if I'll take a bike. Hope to have a good visit Friday and Saturday night.~~

Or perhaps ~~ride~~ drive up tomorrow for an afternoon visit and say hello.

A road report from the day's arrival would be appreciated. Everything's up in the air.

We got so much rain in East Texas that it filled up two rain gauges. More on the way. Why can't we save it until August?
My plastic pocket protector melted in the dryer and ruined my best double knit shirt.
See y'all tomorrow.

Probably coming tomorrow morning in the PU. My three miles to pavement is still iffy on a bike let alone the low temps.

Sorry, but the Estonia Indian Site tour for Saturday has been cancelled due to the rain and flooding.
The museum lady told me that Hwy 166 is closed for a short distance just to the east of Ark City. Hwy 160 is totally open.

Made an easy 400 today, spending the night in Ada, Ok..will be at Cedar Vale before noon tomorrow.

Make sure Prescott doesn’t get any speeding tickets going thru town on his hot rod!!

A nice day of riding listening to Bob Seger, Van Morrison, Pink Floyd and the Greatful Dead amongst others...

LowRyter · « **Reply #2625 on:** May 09, 2019, 08:41:44 PM »

My plan is to visit (solo) tomorrow but will head back home in afternoon. Not sure if I'll ride or drive.

Hope to visit.

I won't make it. I'll see you at the next one.

JC85 · « **Reply #2626 on:** May 09, 2019, 09:02:52 PM »

All loaded up and ready to hit the road, after work, tomorrow! Should arrive sometime between 6 and 7. Does anyone have any idea of roughly what time(ish) breakfast happens and people head out on Sunday? Going to ride up to Wichita to meet a friend, before heading back home.

*** CEDAR VALE!! ***

Have fun this weekend, boys & girls!

Hopefully, the weather will cooperate, and the same for us here in Cottonwood / Prescott! Will take and post some photos!

About three miles east of 77, 166 is closed for two miles. Supposed to be open on Saturday.

How's about a report from someone onsite at CV? How is the campground? Or, should I ask, "how soggy and boggy is the campground"?

davedel44 · « **Reply #2630 on:** May 10, 2019, 10:54:08 AM »

Still damp. Dryer near the road. RVs and trailers park on the road.

If it's any consolation, it's been wetter then all hell here in NE Ohio. Yesterday was somewhat pleasant and dry, but this morning, we're back into rain and saturated lawns. Still and all, not nearly so severe as places like Davenport, Iowa. Hope the rally is working out for all of you who attended. Being with good friends makes up for a lot of wet weather.

Dusty working on the raffle bike. Some torques were leaking out of the converter.

LowRyter · « **Reply #2633 on:** May 10, 2019, 10:22:07 PM »

I hope Dusty fixed the taillights on his Jackal.

WOW!! That Stone is quite a nice RAFFLE BIKE!!

What's that guy on the ground sayin'?!?

Luap McKeever · « **Reply #2635 on:** May 11, 2019, 08:02:13 PM »

Got home about 7PM after a fun 350 mile weekend. A little chilly, but I never got wet. As usual, it's always a good time reuniting with friends and meeting new people. It was nice to see some 30 something's there. Now, if we could get more 30 somethings to invite their 30 somethings friends to these shindigs, that'd be great.

Time for a hot shower and bed.

Bert Remington wins the raffle bike!

Please call the title owner Jeff Swanson at 209-815-2906 to begin processing the paperwork or if you have other wishes.

Prescott's (Smith-Swede) new to him ride.

Kevin from MO ride.

Very cool Honda!

Chris and Marley. Marley is my dog and I think the he has become the official dog of the CV NAR

Marley and Rod.

Since Dusty is a carpenter thought we should make an offer on this little fixer upper on main street to become the CV club house.

Thursday, rolling into Cedar Vale, and the early arrivals. Some of us had a bit of dinner at the local cafe.
.
.

.
.
After dinner, we spied this fine bit of custom Moto Guzzi engineering, and then we found that guy, and set about trying to re-engineer the raffle bike. It was a glorious adventure, to be sure !

Friday came quickly, and we set about chasing windmills.
There were a LOT of windmills - and they picked a good location, because it was [censored] windy.

.
.
.

.
.
So then, we took over City Hall. Or maybe the building next to it, I'm not sure.
Some of the group was invited to use the back entrance,
.
.

.
.
As you can see, we literally took over the town
.
.

.
.
.
.
.
Saturday came waaaay to fast.... with dinner time ever closer, and the resident chefs converged on the local grocery store. I'm not sure why they made us go around to the BACK of the store...... this seemed to be a recurring theme...
