Easy answer! Just do what Bob would have done ....... early start, a couple hours at Barber's, continue on to St. Joe ....... !
Crazy request that is off topic of this thread but since there will be a lot of attendees at this event I'll ask here. Does anyone coming to this event have a Aerostich Roadcrafter 44R that I could try on?
I'll have mine with me also, though I don't know what size it is.Crazy request that is off topic of this thread but since there will be a lot of attendees at this event I'll ask here. Does anyone coming to this event have a Aerostich Roadcrafter 44R that I could try on?
If you decide to arrive Wednesday, the campsite #94 is still reserved and available.
For the early arrivals (arriving Thursday) And any folksshowing up early Friday morning? we will be visiting the ?Army Aviation Museum?at Fort Rucker, Alabama. Bob was trainedto fly Helicopters there and later in his career spent some time as a leadingofficer in charge of helicopter maintenance (I think). Will be leaving the state park at 7:15 am andriding to ?Sisters? restaurant in Port St. Joe. Kick Stands up at 9:00 after breakfast and depart for Fort Rucker. Weshould arrive just before 12:00 pm EST. Will visit the museum until all are satisfied,catch lunch (to be determined) Selection is poor at best in Fort Rucker? Ride back to State Park and arrive sometimebetween 5:30 and 6:00.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
Saturday: Will be upto each individual to arrange their own breakfast. The official agenda will be: 10:00 am, gather at the beach opposite ?EagleHarbor? (located in the park) for a memorial ?get together??.. Members of Bob?sfamily will be there. This will be avery informal time to honor Bob? Hisfamily will have some comments about Bob, and we encourage anyone who wouldlike to tell of their favorite moments spent with Bob to feel free and sharewith us all. Afterwards, we will gather at ?The Sand Bucket? for lunchat 12:00 noon. Following lunch,approximately 1:30, we will have our ?Official Memorial Ride? to nearby Apalachicolato the ?Veterans Memorial Park?. It is about 30 miles from the state park andwe would like to stay together as a group? shouldn?t be too hard because theroads are mostly straight with few signals along the way. When we arrive, we will talk briefly aboutBob?s military career. Many of you maynot know, but the military was a huge part of Bob?s life he seldom talkedabout. After the comments, there will bea ?Flag Setting? around the Three Soldiers statute, a moment of silence, and ?Taps?will be played on the Bugle. This willconclude the ?Official? part of the memorial ride.
If there are enough folks who are still wanting to rideafter the memorial gathering, I will lead a ride down the coast a ways, if not,we can choose a pace to gather later for dinner or we can just go back to thepark and relax.
Sunday will be departure day?
