STOC TAG

Keith, I'm sure they would love to go. I took them to China and wasn't on a bike. They had a great time there.

Well then, if they're not busy somewhere else and if they'd like to come diving with me, it'd be a pleasure to share the experience. There's even an extra cabin for them on the boat, I think, so they won't have to put up with my snoring in quite such tight quarters.
 
Keith, it's all about the travel, the mode makes little diff. They have certainly traveled far and wide via air already. :D
 
Hi all-

The boyz arrived safe and sound and warm and dry this afternoon, thanks to MoonDoggie's over-the-top packaging. The care he took to keep them safe- no fewer than THREE separate envelopes one inside another- shows his regard and esteem for them. I hope I can do them justice while they are in my care.

I'm going to start them off with a bang, by taking them to the New Year's Eve costumes-required gala this evening being thrown by friends of ours, recognizing twenty years of marriage to one another. The costume theme is "Heroes and Villains"-- no question as to which category THIS group will be part of.

So I didn't have time to post this last night before taking the boyz to the big party, but I've tried to make them feel welcome here at the house:

As matters turned out they elected not to appear at the party and just hung out quietly in my hotel room, so there's no party picture to post.
 
The boyz are helping me preview routes for CampSTOC XII, and to select possible dinner sites and watering holes in and around Lewisburg, PA. Tonight they selected The Smiling Chameleon Draft House (4.3 out of 5 stars) and were rewarded with good food, excellent locally-brewed adult beverages, and friendly service and atmosphere.

Following the instructions, here they are blending in...

At lunch they tried the Country Cabinet- Lewisburg's local answer to the Cracker Barrel- and were rewarded with a decent but not remarkable buffet. Friendly service and an ample dining room promise good things for the event weekend.
 
Today the boyz and I went for a hike in Bald Eagle State Forest, in central Pennsylvania. Despite chilly, damp conditions, they seemed to have enjoyed themselves.

Hi Keith,
You mean Country "Cupboard' right? I had a decent meal there. Thanks for checking out the local watering holes1
 
It sure seems like a ways off yet, especially considering the weather forecast for the next several days in my area, but the MLR is coming up quickly! I'm still on target to take the boys to Roatan starting a week from Saturday, for a week of warming up in the tropical sun, but after that they are going to need a boost if they are going to make it to Moonshine on time.

Is anyone thinking they will pass within a "reasonable" (and I'm willing to stretch the definition quite a bit) distance to the MD suburbs of DC, so that I could make an in-person handoff as so strongly encouraged, any time between Feb 28th and the MLR dates? Otherwise, I'll be happy to put them in the mail to the next host and honoree... just need to know who it's going to be.

Thanks!
 
The boys were tired after the trip to Roatan so they stayed behind today, but Mrs. IBike2HaveFun and I strolled around the West End area to see what's what. We found the Roatanian version of the Happy Meal:

and also found that the "road" up to our lodging would NOT be ST-friendly:

I'll spend tomorrow showing the fellas around town. Rumor has it that there's good Key Lime pie to be had in the opposite direction from where we wandered today, along with a-number-one primo rotisserie chicken.

Bones and the boys will probably pass close on their way to MLR. But if no one else steps up, you can always send,em to me,

Only an hour from here to Moonshine, already been twice since moving back. :burger :burger :)

Took the boys jet-skiing today. Camera failed partway through but I did mange to catech them sunning themselves at the barside pool during a break.

Our jet ski guide did a photo of us and the boys in front of our mount for the day with his phone camera; when he emails it I'll add it to the day's adventure.
 
Linda and I enjoyed a sunset dinner at a nice waterside restaurant today. So did the fellas.

By the time we finished the moon had come up.

Finally got the fellas in the water, earlier this week. No web connectivity on board, so could not post until now.

This was our mode of travel for four days and three nights, thanks to Wayne and Elly Smith (that's Cap'n Wayne in the photo, not me):

We all arrive back Stateside late this evening; the fellas will be looking for a lift to Moonshine. If there are no offers beforehand, I'll put them in the mail to George sometime around the third week of March so they'll have plenty of time to get there.

What a beautiful day! Temperatures reached the mid-60's under clear blue skies. Seemed like the ONLY appropriate thing to do was to get the boys out to help move the Maryland tag.

I think and hope they enjoyed it. I sure did.

I am getting <crickets> from all other parties so I will get them on their way to you probably over the weekend so that there's plenty of time for them to complete the trip and rest up...

It was a pleasure to have been entrusted with them for a stretch. If they want to go to Georgia in April and / or CampSTOC in May I'd be happy to do the honors again.
 
Good enuff. You need to figure a way to get to MLR yurself. Always room for more.

I'll ask at Richard's Farm on Friday if anyone is headed anywhere exotic. Need to get'em to Eastern Europe. I have friend headed that way but they are on foot...

Thanks for taking good care, and all the great pics. Be sure to stick a couple notes in the log book.
 
George, after having the privilege of taking the boys to China, we are heading to Ireland May 10th and could show them a little Irish, if they haven't already been there. We are going to be over there for three weeks going around the outside of the island clockwise from Dublin through Belfast and back to Dublin.
