What time do you plan to be at the Shut-Ins? I've always wanted to see that area; I could ride that way and meet you.

It's kinda cool to be going to the Shut Ins.. I LOVED that place when I was in High School.

Good old High school days ! Shut ins was crazy back in the 70s. Cliff jumping ,beer and a lot of nudity. Thats all gone now. I have not seen the place since the Taum Sauk reservoir failure. Supposed to be almost restored. Will take pics and report back. Red 05, call my cell around 10:30-10:45 for arrival time update. 314-952-0461.

Glad you guys had a good ride and are home safe. Chris is down here and we just got back from a nice long ride with two of his best friends. Look forward to some pics. Woops, I'm on Chris' login. I can have some fun.

another shot of the damage...we rode through miles and miles of devastation...we didn't get to go into the shut ins state park because the road was completely blocked with trees everywhere...even the place where we ate lunch in Bixby didn't have any electricity, they were trying to stay open using a generator

 

[semi]

this is what happens when you line three of the mighty Busa's up and let 'em rip

 

[semi]

we did make it to the Elephant Rocks

 

[semi]

i just thought this looked pretty cool

 

[BusaWhipped]

Thyis is what the roads looked like all the way through iron county

 

[semi]

finally, i am not sure what the two of them (BusaWhipped on the left and DREW on the right) were up to but i decided it was time for me to run when i started hearing the banjos tune up anyway, thanks for letting me tag along today guys, i had a blast
