Well, the first Great Pacific Northwest Dryside Gather has come and gone.

The GPNDG was held just on the east side of the Cascades, south-east of
Mt. Rainer.

The weather was fantastic, the roads were great, and the beverages were
plentiful.  In short, everyone had a grand time.

Each participant has their own story to tell and I will let them do it.
Although several folks may not arrive home for a few days.

What _I_ will post however is a list of those who attended along with the
brand of horse that carried them.  I'll also describe the award winners. :-)

Now for the awards----

PFS award -----  

   To James Franklin for working on his steering head bearings at the
   campsite and then taking it out on the highway to try to induce
   a headshaker while wearing shorts.
   James received a couple of band-aids.


The limp tool award ----

   To Gena Merritt for showing up Friday night with only 17 psi of
   pressure in her front tire.  Her excuse?  "Hey! I checked it this year!"
   Gena received an inflated balloon.


The rat bike award ----

   To Terry Powell for arriving on his new black/red/silver CBR900RR with
   a bit of dust on it.
   Terry received a fake chamois cloth.


The Flying Finger of Fate award ---

   To Brad Hepler for finally getting utterly disgusted with a cager and
   passing both the cage, and Bill Johns (who was also passing), in a blur
   of white.
   Brad received a 8-inch long rubber finger.


The Neon Squid award ---

   Shared ---
      To Mike Bain for showing up with _15_ disks on his Supertrapp
      equiped FJ.
      Mike recieved a squid shaped water pistol.

      To Jeff Earls for uncountable offenses including trying to find
      the rev limiter on his FJ and going WFO in third into a 30 mph
      corner past five cars during a pick-up game of tag with a ZX-11
      near Mt. St. Helens.
      Jeff recieved a glow-in-the-dark rubber squid.


The Long Distance award ----

   To Daryle Whitacker for getting all the way to Chicago before realizing
   he should have taken a _left_ out of his driveway in Los Angeles.
   Daryle received a bottle of aspirin to relieve his butt burn.


The Two Way-Up award ---

   To Pat Loughery for announcing to the mail group that he might be a
   day late to the Gather because he planned on proposing the night before.
   Pat and Shannon received a 1938 govt. issue manual entitled "How to Make
   Love".


The I-Should-Have-Known-Better award ---

   To Bruce Quaitance for performing his riding technique in the witness of
   Bill Johns.  Bruce later checked with 19 psi in his front tire.
   Bruce received a pocket protector with a squid printed on it.


The Excessive Velocity award ---

   To Stephen Dybing.  This was presented by what he described as a
   Mt. Rainer park ranger with a radar gun and a very fast car.


That's all for now.  I'm sure that each participant will post their own
harrowing tales related to the Gather.  (In fact, I'm counting on it :-)


Ride Safe,

Jeff
