By Miserable George Or as it is also known...The Rain-de-vous!! Yep, Number 33 was a wet, muddy, mess!! The grounds were completely saturated, but that didn’t seem to deter the hoard of bikers zeroing in on Mariaville, N.Y., the week-end of June 23, 24, 25, and 26, 2011.

By Lulu Be Sure to scroll to the bottom for several Rolling Thunder Cams A biker’s typical dream trip is to ride to Sturgis, Myrtle Beach or Daytona. But I am here to tell you the most important trip to make in your life as a biker is the Rolling Thunder Ride to the Wall. I am not the only person who feels this way; I was joined by over a half million bikers for this moving event. And I don’t mean moving such as on 2 wheels, I mean emotionally overwhelming!

By Lulu Every month I find the differences in Florida’s counties so interesting. Often the differences are created by the counties founders, the products the county produces or geography. Some may be pretty roads, some lakes every where you look and in Lee County it is vegetation that catches your eye. And history! Read the rest of this entry »

It is the Read the rest of this entry »
