Shannon ride update, Is it still in Utah ?

[Jeff Williams]

Hi all,
could we get an update on the cowl and package.
The last I heard was it was in Utah waiting to head north.

We were planning on riding to AZ in August and were giving everyone who wanted to be their an advance date to plan their schedule. That seems to be blown out of the water.

We need to get a realistic schedule so that we can plan the BBQ for all the riders who have given their time, from all over the country, in this endeavor, who choose to come. IMO this is an important part of closure for all who had contact with Shannon.
Besides the party will create many new friends and renew old ones.

I'm guessing from the ride schedule in this part of the country that earily nov,(weekend of the 3rd) will be the next available target date. Any later than that and it will be the holiday/rain/flash flood season,(not good for a fun BBQ).

Please give us an update.
thanks in advance

I've been in Phoenix in October and it's still a toasty 95 during the day. Anyway, where is the cowl and where does it go next?

Hopefully this is not set for another winter in CO,

[SergioK]

I thought it moved one checkerboard location to the left... and now is in Utah, or no?

[ckcarr]

Yes.

Jeff & I just had a conversation regarding the cowl.

It will start moving again shortly.

Who you callin' shorty?

[Jeff Williams]

Flatbutt,
would sweetie be better
Ck and I've got a plan with alternatives.
What we need is some help in the Northwest if they want to be involved the the loop.
I've pm'ed JonnyRR and have yet to hear from him,(but in all fairness he's a very busy guy).
If we cann't get someone from the NW to cover some distance then we'll try to make a connection in Salt Lake City and move the cowl/package to Lake Tahoe assuming Ron Taylor, Steve Carlton, or someone else from Nor Cal can be talked into riding to SLC.
We have a third plan but that is a last resort involving a dog, a horse, and a sheep.
Best not to talk about that until needed and we have shots.
It is important to note that the cowl/package WILL NOT BE UPSed to a distination !!!
The time line to get it moving is 3-4 weeks max,( hopefully sooner).

Good idea! An ADV rider brought the package to me in Nebraska.

[Jeff Williams]

Sounds good to me as long as their is someplace to deliver it to that it won't get stuck.

[steve abella]

I have the 1st week of September off if nothing happens before I can swing up and run it to the NW

[arbik]

Jeff,

Count me in on the cowl journey.
I dont know how much I can do, but I'll definitely ride up (probably drag sergio with me), and do one last godspeed ride with Shannon.

[Jeff Williams]

ckcarr,
ask and you will receive.

Steve and Arbik,
ok, this is great, BUT we need to see if their is someone to deliver it to, in the NorthWest, that will get the cowl back to cali for the ride in late Oct.-earily Nov.
If JonnyRR doesnt get back to me by tuesday then IMO we should take it toward Lake Tahoe and into the NorCal group.
Opinions.

[SergioK]

So what's the route / plan of attack to get it from UT to the PacNW? I can take some time off from work.

Everyone here knows you.
"work"...Ya right.

[Jeff Williams]

keep the shinny partsup,
please be a part of this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![img]

As stated in the above the potiental problem is the northwest,(unless you feel the need to ride thru the northwest and back down into Cali). Once we find out whos in in the NW we should be able to set up a route for you to take.
CK has said that he will ride as far north as SLC to meet someone after he gets back from sturgis,(he's slumming ).
PM me and we can organize the cali hand offs. I'll be riding with the SoCal riders and organize them.
cya and thanks.

You are south of Sac. is that right?

I am at Beale, a bit north of Sac. but I am heading back to Seattle approx. 17 August. If the cowl makes it here i can bring it north to Jony and others. I may have some time to ride east before I leave. Is anyone willing to get any further west from Utah?
