Yeah, we did have a good time in spite of the crappy weather (which included my cell phone drowning in a puddle of water in my tent Friday night).  I even got to sign the (now legendary) R65 banner!  And Aida, you did a first class job with the banner!

Finally made it back tonight.  We sat through another day of rain at Willville.  Hope you guys missed the storm that blew through on Sunday.  It actually hailed and Will lost power off and on.  There were all kinds of severe weather warnings going on.  We were planning a ride out toward Tuggles Gap and just before we left the rain settled in for the day.  We made Tuggles Gap, but in Will's Blazer - not what we had in mind...

We had a fabulous ride back home today, though.  Glad John got to sign the flag, a little more weathered.

I found one more pic from the "Willville Weekend" that Steve and I took, this one from a scenic overlook on the BRP on our way to Willville on July 4th.  If only the weather for rest of the weekend had been as nice as it was when this photo was taken! ;)
