swap meet.

So while I was preparing for the swap meet I ended up getting the 400 (previously 450) back together. Just hours before going to bed before the swap meet.  I didn't get to ride it more than 100 yards before I had to get stuff ready.  Casey, Hutch, and I rode together to the swap meet.  This year we talked about getting a booth and didn't, next year we must get a booth.  I want to be in the middle of the action for the whole time. 


truck on the way. you know you are in a good part of the country when you see trucks like this.
 Here are a bunch of pictures of the swap meet.  My phone died the first night and I didn't bring another camera.  I didn't bring a lot of things but we live and we learn.  Enjoy the pictures, if you don't have instagram.

Michigan 2k12

Masaru, Tyson, and I headed up to Michigan last week.  A shorter trip than last year but just as effective.  We rode straight to Ludington and stayed with our buddy Kip.  I think the M22 road was the highlight for me.  Some awesome views.  I can't believe there is stuff that cool so close.



50 k!

back roading.

Michigan fruit was sparse this year.  The drought sucks.

Tyson hates camping.  I hate his tent and his lack of a sleeping pad.  He's going to like it someday.
