..............Even Montreal was as hot as our rally so should we go further north ?
Yes. Bring it here. Been in the high 60's to low 70's the past week.

a "petting zoo" of gear
Now that is right funny, right there!
BTW, you folks used 137 rolls of toilet paper in a bit over 24 hours................Yup, I always knew it, we are all full of _ _ _ _ !...... (Well, I guess we aren't anymore!)
And how about the Strawberry Shortcake! A 16" tall piece or wonder!
And the dancing condoms............you don't see that at most rallies!
And although it was much less, there were still some ass hats standing up on their pegs as they rode through the rally ground (I'm not sure why this bugs me so much)
And how about the machine gun demonstration out at the WWII re-enactment! Too cool! And the WWII folks in general were amazingly informative and extremely
entertaining........and they did it all in wool uniforms!
And how about the rope swing down at the "crick".......
And how about..............
I was camped next to the ice truck trailer, and there was one guy who worked ALL WEEK long hauling ice, his shirt wet all the time,and not from ice!! I know there were others who worked, not rode around, equally as hard, it's just that I saw what he did, and most of it manual labor!!!!!!!!!!!!1
i feel the need to highlight a distinction here.
Yes, the weather was inclement, but it's not like a dome of hot was parked directly over bloomsburg. That heat wave covered half the nation and there was no way anybody could have predicted the timing or extent of it. So let's not blame the organizers for the weather; let's just ask that they show a bit of flexibility going forward.
I didn't attend because (1) i travel with my dog and barley has a tough time dealing with heat in that fur coat of his, and (2) i suffered from heat stroke twice while in the military and don't tolerate heat very well myself anymore. Personal choice. If i miss a rally now and then the world isn't going to end.
But all this talk of heat and miserable conditions is threatening to overshadow the hard work put in by scores of volunteers before and during the rally. The act of pulling a small town together for four days is pretty impressive!
He was much smarter than some. He got to go into the freezer truck to get the ice every so often. Meanwhile, Rob Nye cleaned toilets.
.....and to all you people who stayed home because of the heat - My Dad who is 87 did the Springfield - Bloomsburg SS1000 and became the oldest man to ever complete one.....in the heat....and camped out for three nights.

... As I walked through the site in the dark about 10:30 Friday night I came to the conclusion that it is only BMW people that could get along so well without any apparent "temper issues" or conflicts in the oppresive heat.
