Hey gconklin...have you changed your mind and decided to join us?

Oh I sooooo wish I could!!  I had to take on coaching responsibilities and can't get away on most weekends for a while now.

On a side note, I know my next dream bike:  2009 CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide
That thing is SWAWEEET! Won't be able to afford it listing at $35,500 but one can dream.

As long as we have time that is a 10-4.   Total milage is about 180 miles round trip on some slow roads....just want to be down before dark so if we leave at 8 or 8:30 we should have plenty of time.

Boyden Cavern

The fee to get in the Park is $10 per person on motorcycle...I'll do what we did last time and just collect the $ and NP passes in the morning so we can pay one time at the gate.

 

 

Any other fees? I want to have exact change for you..

There will be a fee at Boyden Caverns but I don't know how much.  I'll try to give them a call today.

There is another Cave in the park but I have never been there and I'm told it is down a a steep windy road, has a 1/2 mile walk to get there and requires a guide. I'll need to check that out one of these days.  Boyden is an easy stop with ample parking.

Don and I have been talking and while 3 rivers sound nice, we would really like more rivers.

Bev, can you arrange for a town with more rivers?  9 sounds like a good number.

Why thank you Bev.  Can one of them have a nice calm deep spot that we can swim in?  Maybe a bridge to jump off?
