2025 Brown County GS Rally - June 19 - 22

[storm 64]

I got home about 1:00 this afternoon. Stripped down and pretty much immediately took a nap. HOT. It was good to see everyone again. I got ripped off last year. Shoulda asked for my registration fee back.

You got ripped off this year too. You had to fill my gas tank up with fuel! Hahaha

Hey....I will have photos tomorrow, from this great weekend...
But let me ask...did anyone else have a tiny Jesus in their room? Mine was on the top of the TV.

Maybe Jay thought you needed him. I didn’t get one. Actually, I may not have noticed. I almost forgot my laptop cord. Jay brought it out just before I left.

I rolled in about 8:45. Lots of stop and go construction traffic on I-80 in 90-95 deg heat. I was rolling up the shoulder passing all the big rigs till one of them decided that wasn’t fair and cut me off. I swung around him on the other side. A-hole.

Yes, but I dont recall the lettering. I thought maybe a "lego" but didnt really examine much. Yah, near the TV equipment, which I also didnt examine enough to figure out.

I was gonna try to get photo of most attendies and thier bikes, especailly the GSes.

Here is Ben, his first GS rally.
Ben rode down from western Chicago land on the 1000G that he has had since 1984, I think he said. I didnt catch his forum name.


And I didnt get any more such photos.

Friday ride:

THat morning I had half an idea of where to go for the day, maybe Tunnelton and Medora, maybe stop at Brick Kiln, wander around someways to Becks Mill Road, then find a way to IN62 and then decide what/where to wander around.
And before done with Jay Breakfast, where 5 others wanting to go along.
So Scot led cuz he had a route on GPS for Medora Brick Kilns, Medora Covered Bridge, Becks Mill Road and down to IN62 to Overlook on Ohio River, then further west (construction detour) and then something like BirdsEye , 145, French Lick, 150, Shoals, 450.
One rider said would breakoff after Medora, others said would breakoff later.
(I was thinking that bye about 2pm I would not want to be getting further away from the motel.)

Scots route took us on 50, and then on roads I had never gone before, which was interesting.
Arriving at Medora Brick Kiln
(If you want to find info, look for Medora Brick Kiln, not brick plant).


Me , Ben, Rich82GS750TZ Rich, Baatfam Bob, Griffin Brett, cowboyup3371 Scott


Me, Ben, Bob, Rich. Ah, where did Scott go.



Ah, here is Scott

More Medora Brick Kiln Friday morning.

In addition to the kilns there are these chimney stacks, I think part of the underground plenumns.
THe place is out in middle of fields and woods, but note that is one house nearby that can see.


Scott and Rich meet some local kids that came running from that one house.


Brett inspecting one of the kilns. Of the 8 or so remaining kilns, some are partly collapsed or otherwized filled with bricks and debris, and some are more inviting.

Friday morning Medora Covered Bridge.

THe 3 GSes of the group

(Rich got good group parking lot photo, posted already.)


Then Bob headed out on his own.

THe other 5 of us proceeded to Salem and Becks Mill Road. Becks Mill Road ! ! !
Scott and I talked about finding a place along the side of the road for a roadside-group photo.
Scott found a place and pointed, and we pulled over and circled around and stopped next to each other.
Brett was a bit puzzed about what was going on (ask him about it, he likes to tell about these weirdos he was riding with).


Me, Brett, Scott, Ben
Hey, where is Rich?

Oh, here is Rich

Setting up his cellphone camera on little tripod.
