Day Five Done, tomorrow we are in Injun Country

Finished Day Five today, Breakfast was awesome, the weather has been great the last two days, just a little rain last night before we left Colorado, and today it was in the80's.  We have a little over 300 bikes in the pack.  Leadership is OK, but could be firmer but what do I know.  Attitude of the trucks is changing, they support what we are doing, but the way some folks are riding the trucks are really scared that someone will get killed.  I have relayed this to leadership, they are working it, but if it does not change, I know how to get to DC and will just go there on my own. Enough negative, I do not control the pack I just ride in it, and it will get better.  If I have to leave it will be because of time constraints and not any thing any rider, or person other than a rider does.  I do what I do for my own reasons.

These first two are a couple who ride with us and they are in their 70's. They have a trike but they still ride with us.  I really liked the back of thier vests

This is Johnnie Ryan (hope I spelled that right).  He showed me and the gal riding the Vespa Scooter where the camping area was.  We thanked him and I figured that would be the end of it.  He came back to meet folks.  I think he may be on the Run next year.  He has a great sense of humor, and retired recently after 23 years in the Army.  I told him I would hold him to coming on the Run next year with us.  I think he probably will.  The mission bug has bitten many of us in the same way.  He has a pretty all black Harley and a camera.

This is the Memorial in the middle of Junction City KS.  I read all the names on both this wall and a smaller one that lists KIA's from Iraq ande Afgahistan.

These two pictures are taken from the spot in the pack where Clyde was parked.  It is a little deceptive because bikes were parked in five rows on the street.  Like I said a little over 300 total today.  My Brother is going home in the morning, and I may have to head home from Wentzville.  Running out of time, not money but time.
