Yup that's the one. Bill Wilson was my grandmother's cousin, and I know a few members a friends of Bill W, so I figured I'd show em the way there :D I may even get in touch with them and see about a tour or something.

Mark, I'll work on it this weekend for sure, may need some help with the map part of it tho...

Tito, like I said (and Mark too) go for the long one bro! I think it's important that we present rides that WE like! You may get 5 bikes to go with, you may get 50! Never know. We'll have enough choices and enough voices that everyone will be happy.

Paula, totally psyched to have you come with me!! My sister's friend's family owns the general store across from the Wilson house too. Wicked good creamies :D

Benny, don't worry about making a map, just send me the ride route. I'll put together a map the same way I did the first three so all the maps look consistent.

Awesome, will do! I'll probably be laying things out using google maps to help me with milage, etc. It's SO nice now that you can basicall drag and drop the route.

Sounds good, Benny. But you needn't go to a great deal of effort -- all I need is basic routing. I can take care of the rest.

Benny - you don't have to arrange a tour of the house or property on my behalf, I have been there and I think that Ozzie, the guy who runs the place is a dick and he can use a little help himself. I'll be glad to hang across the street at your sister's friend's family general store while the others take the tour which couldn't last more than 10 mins.

Mark and Tito,
The rides and maps look fantastic! Great job! I've downloaded them and can't wait to look them over.

Your hard work is to be commended. Once again, fantastic job.

Any guesses on the approximate time for each ride?

Depends on how fast people ride and how many breaks they take, so I couldn't really say.

Jeez, Hedge, show some tolerance, Brother! ;)

Benny, if it works out that you can set up a tour, way cool. If not, no worries.

If you do ,set it up , Donna and I are in as well . I want to see where he carved that Boomerang , anyway , To me it's not all the material surroundings (3 - Dimensional) I'm talking about the (4th - Dimension) The very essence of it , and how it came to pass crossing my path of life. That's all I got. Speed.

I'm definitely into the shorter ride on Fri morn/afternoon then a longer ride or rides on Sat. Maybe split the day in 2 rides.

I'll see what the deal with tours is. Might be more of a self guided thing! We'll figure it out.
