Don't forget about the heavy cross-winds, especially during the hail storms. I was in Casper one day when the wind did NOT blow ! The locals were marking it on the calendar.Michael --
Knock it off. Stop dispelling rumors about Wyoming. Try to encourage people to go to Colorado instead. Try, please try, to remind people about the heat, the hail, lack of water, etc... That toxic waste dump rumor was just starting to get going, don't stop that one. Downplay the wildlife. "We got some pesky varmints." See how that sounds colloquial but not really interesting? I'd like to get some rumors about terrible roads going. You know, Goldwing-eating potholes, shards of razor sharp obsidian lying in the thoroughfares, and the like. If you can't be part of the solution (to excessive tourism), keep your mouth shut.

Actually the rumours are true. We love our sheep: at least after the date...ya get to keep a sweater. Devils Tower IS actually a tree stump. Popo Agie is pronounced (poh poh aggie), There IS only one tree, I know cause I peed on it. There is nothing here but hookers or schoold marms(what school did YOU teach ma'am?) And the jackalopes ARE NOT maneaters...well, most of 'em aren't.
What was the saying about anyone from any state with the letter "W" in it are lunies?
Back to work for me. And I NOT a school marm. Hey! Its a living!

Dang. This rally is sounding better by the second! :
.... 5 times. Nay sayers abound it seems but we'll be there..... hot 'n' grinnin'. Did you know that if you don't gas up in Gillette you can find it for $5 a gallon in Crazy Woman Creek? I wish even more now that I did get that gas in Gillette because then I would be able to share my perceptions of the place. However, we will enjoy our ride to and from the rally and look forward to being at the rally itself. In my opinion, what could be worse than Morganton? or Charleston?
NOTE: I would like to know more about that bear thing ..... U turns..... tourists feeding bears...... never had that happen but not keen on the possibility of communing with the critters so openly. What to do? -Bob
I have traveled Wyoming and I will do so again. It is a beautiful state.
I will not, however, suffer through any day, much less a hot, treeless, shade free July Day in the dirty industrial park named Gillette!
You know, back east, when you place an event 100 miles away from any worthwhile riding destination, we say ... you chose the wrong spot.
MOA leadership; you goofed this time.
I couldn't put it any better.
I've been to Wyoming a dozen times or more and I really like most of it. But the one area I don't like is Gillette. I've spent time there (2 mos.). When I went to visit a buddy I was in the USMC with. I didn't like it then (by a lot!) I Don't think I'll like it next year either. So I choose not to go. Thats all one can do, right? I only have 4 weeks a year vacation, and I'll spend it off somewhere else. But I gotta love you cheer leaders that have been "through it" once and deem it "great".
I'm not going to run down the MOA and their choice, because its their committee and club and since I don't participate in the inner workings and logistics, I can only attend or not, but really, if you've only ever ridden through the area, you don't know what your talking about.
Where's the '09 site? Pine Ridge S.D.? The Midway in Chicago? The Superdome in N.O.?

P.S. Have fun, I hope all who attend do! And may your wheather be even better then '07's rally. The D.A. and I will attend our second international rally in '09 (we hope)
