The Gathering of the Gurad will be July 30 - Aug 2 in Salt Lake City Utah. Three of us are heading down from Washington.
Who's planning on the trip?
Where you coming from?
How many in your group?

 

I'll be coming from Harris, MO. and I got a flag for Karen Clifton, MP. I was an MP and her funeral was the first PGR mission I did. I rode from here to Decatur, Ill. for that one.

 

I've never been involved with the PGR but its something I've been interested in doing as a vet. I'm in Idaho Falls which is relatively close so I might go check it out.

 

My lady and I are leaving the last Sunday of July, heading north and then west across Montana, down to Yellowstone where we have a cabin reserved on the lake, and then on to Ogden.

Should be a great vacation. I have never driven a cycle in the mountains.

 

Here's the deal about the PGR, at least for me. First of all I'm retired LEO (20 years) and former MP. After I retired I busted my butt doing work on our "estate", cutting wood, mechanics, building the house, hunting, etc. But I was empty as I felt no satisfaction of protecting someone or serving a purpose. Then when I did my first PGR mission for Karen Clifton (MP killed in Iraq) it made me feel good and I liked the other PGR people. Then I learned about Rev. Phelps protesting the veterans funerals and that happened around here-St. Joe, MO. and I spoke with the guys that started the PGR. So, that makes me more enthused about the whole thing, and I just keep going and going, and going to Ogden.
