Sorry guys for not keeping everyone up to speed on my dads ride.  Burning the candle at both ends around my house the last few months!  If you can make it to Renton on saturday please do!  It would really mean a lot to the whole family if there was a big turnout.  The send off was pretty dissappointing.  After having said that I will point out that I will not be there as it is opening day of deer season and my dad and I came to the agreement (he threatened my life ) that I have to get out of town and shoot something.  Here is a video that the USO did that features my dad.  Thanks all!       Healing on the Highway

In case nobody heard this on the radio today. KISW and the show "the men's room" Read an e-mail today about the ride. Very touching to hear this on the radio. They said the ride will finish on Sat. at Downtown Harley Davidson in Renton. Several thousand people heard about the ride and it's meaning. Very cool.........
