Road Trip: Meet in the Middle (MITM)
In 1998, we attended the Harley Email Digest/Rec.Motorcycles.Harley
annual campout in southern Illinois, near St. Louis. This event is held
each year the first full weekend of June. This was the 5th Annual MITM
and the first we didn't have rain!
This year was also special, because there was an
unprecedented gathering of official, numbered Wenches and Bitches! Below
is a picture of us. (Yes the guy in the middle is a Bitch, too! He's also
an Asshole(tm), but that's another story...)
The people in this photo are: Back row, left to
right, Lady Jane, Cuda, Donna A., Heidi *, Wildflower, SunShine, Red,
Danamania. Front row, left to right, Sparky, Cindy, NBCK (honorary Bitch),
Beth Z., Barb (Bawb)
Although
MITM is only about a 400 mile trip for us, we decided to roll on about
150 miles after work the night before to arrive earlier the next day.
This picture is that evening at a motel in Mendota, Illinois. The rain
that night and the next morning delayed our departure a couple hours...
El
Gato has a gorgeous tattoo of his cat. This picture doesn't do
it justice...
Heidi
* was kind enough to bring some gold-bearing sand from California to teach
CrowDog how to pan for gold, so in return, he took her on Ed Eckert's
ride on Saturday!
A couple of brats! Me and SunShine...
Maggi Maggi is a true Ironbutt in my book. She went
out East just before MITM and bought an Ironhead Sportster. She then rode
it (for the first time) all the way back to Illinois, much of the trip in
pouring rain. By the time she left on Sunday, she still wasn't dry!
This is a collage of some other pictures I took
over the weekend. We had a great time but, as usual, the weekend was too
short to get around and talk to everyone.
This picture deserved to be shown all by itself.
Only at MITM can you get quality like this...
