As the sun sets over Kanab, UT, the RRR is almost history. Jack & Barb,Karl and Bev, all did a lot of work. Others helped too, It was an excellent rally. The buffet line tonight was plentiful and good. As with every VROC gathering, old friendships were renewed, and new ones made. A few have left, but most will ride out in the morning, in all different directions. There are forest fires all around us, and more thunder and lightning storms are in the forecast. I'm sure there will be a lot of interesting trip reports posted in the next few days as people return to home and their computers. The next time I'm able to get on line, there will be a new blog called: http://kanabtocoosbay.blogspot.com. There's nothing on it now, but there will be soon. Thanks for the nice comments I've received about the pictures. I'm sorry that I didn't get everyone, but my brain can only handle so much. If you're not here, it wasn't intentional.

A quiet Saturday afternoon. Most of the rides have returned, people are resting and mapping out their route home. Only a couple more hours until the Bar B Que starts. Krazbob lives in Carson City, so he doesn't have too far to get home.
This in the the parking lot of the Parry Lodge. They let us use it for all the meals.
Howard (Jazzman) and Rosie, enjoying some chicken at the Friday night meal.
Fart taking a little snooze. He was working on Fly's laptop. There are 2 perfectly good beds in the room, but I guess in New Zealand they prefer to sleep in chairs!
Slots is giving Phyliss a ride! tc looks on. This is the last of the shots of the Friday night Birthday party for Craig Scott. I't's passed my bedtime, so....tomorrow's another day. The RRR will be winding down.
