Just finished my odometer check and got my shirt.  That step means I’m all approved for the Utah 1088 and now have 3 1/2 hours until the mandatory riders meeting.

Some pictures and recap:  Steve relatively unblurry at last night’s barbecue…because he moves a lot when he tells a great story.  Enthralled include Bill Newton, Joel Rappaport, and another regular I haven’t remembered the name of.

Some long-distance riders we are….we have the hotel shuttle haul us to Wal Mart for supplies.  Typical goods included beef jerky, Utah state maps, water, and duct tape.

Mario Winkelman of LD Comfort, Cletha Walstrand from St. George, and Ken Morton studying nursing.

I secured myself a guaranteed extra 1,000 points by submitting to a pre-bonus pedicure.  While I definitely didn’t have pretty toes afterwards….they were voted most improved.  Sorry for the blurriness.  Ken, cameras, and pretty young women (she same after I did by the way) are a sketchy proposition one-handed.  He did better with the video here.
