I will start this story with the fact that throw away cameras are not as good a quality in spite of what you have heard! 
I knew my kid and her boyfriend would be riding with me to so I got out one of those disposable cameras to put in my pocket I wanted a few pic of us riding I  figured if I dropped it or lost it or a rock hit it no great loss just the pic would be gone! the Idea was sound! we even handed it back and forth between us as we rode so that is how the pic of me got in there!  we did get a few looks from the cages handing it back and forth! 

we rode from my place to the bike shop where he got his bike to pic up a key but it was being shipped from the factory so they gave him a lock to secure it till then! After about a 45min delay we headed back down the road! we made pretty good time till all the water I drank at the harley shop hit me then we pulled over at the rest stop on I-35 just before you get to Davis then it was on to Ardmore where we stopped to fill up Vince's bike it was brand new and he had not figured out how far it would go on reserve! 

 I filled up too so no more stops till we get there! we turned off at the Madill exit and headed east! I saw a couple of bikes ahead and sped up just a bit to catch them because I thought I knew them! Sure enough it was Sissy and Stephanie, but Stephanie was riding bitch behind her old man what a shock!  After a bit I slowed back down because Vince was still in the break in period! I needed to let him catch up. We got to the rally about 7:30 we had plenty of time to set up camp and settle in before dark then it was off to take pic and say hi to everyone!    
I have not figured out why the turn was so low except that there was another event just down the road the same weekend! I heard it was not any bigger either, but that is rumor!  This event used to have one of  the biggest turnouts in the state! the money goes to support the 8 vet centers around the state! this is one we all should be attending every year! I know that the weather was wet and cold for a few years so they moved it to June so the weather was better and it was nice and hot, lots of water to cool off in! those that did attend, had a good time too! Two rode in from Az. Termite and his cousin Ron, and I'm not sure where Baum lives  now but he rode in too! It was good to see Termite as I had not seen his ugly mug since I rode out there to see him in 99! that was a hell of a trip but that is a different story!
