How many riders does it take to set up a tent? This looked like a chinese fire drill.:D

Somebody's lucky it wasn't raining!

If you look close, Steve and I are the only ones with hands on. Rich and his son Chris were adding verbal support. The rain came very shortly after the tent erection was completed.

I dunno Mac...looks like to me like Rich is about to cane you for not moving fast enough!!! :eek:

Steve and Rich... glad to see you made it up there before the rain. How was the ride up? Thanks for the company on Thursday for dinner. I had mentioned that I might try to get up there for a short spell but that's not going to happen. Have fun!!!

20119 Friday dinner at the UP North Lodge

20120 Danny's ST always seemed a little different than the rest...

20121 After dinner we sat around a campfire at Danny's place

[STeve1300]

On Saturday we split into two groups, both exploring different areas along Lake Superior.... both in the rain...20122

But we had the beach to ourselves 20124 and we all found great roads. Of course we found time to eat 20123 and explore the area tourist traps 20125

And when it came to the actual get to gether 20126(again kudos to Danny), no expense was spared 20127...and we even let Wing riders from Louisiana attend 20128 (oops sorry BJ...wrong picture)

[STeve1300]

The big dinner was at a pizza place called "Rodneys"20129, where we ate stuff 20130we could not pronounce 20131...yep Da Yooper STOC ll up der was a success eh!!!

[STeve1300]

BJ wanted an award for "longest distance traveled"... and might have gotten one 20132, except he forgot he brought two farther riders from Texas...oops...you didn't think I would leave this out ... did you??? And all this for a 20133 "Gudighi"

Thanks for all the pics, Steve. And of course, thanks to Danny for offering up his place for the event! Here are some of my pics from the cell phone camera:

Dinner at the Up North Lodge. Great place with motorcycle-only parking in one spot. Gotta love that!

Lake Superior at the Iron Boat Loadout Breakwater ("Hell no, I ain't swimmin' in that water! It's 40 degrees!"):

A good chunk of the crowd assembled before dinner Saturday at Danny's place (the Cudighi trip):

I don't know what would be more fun, the at Dannys in the summer or the ATV in the winter !!

Just wanted to say Thanks to Danny for hosting and for the coffee. We only stayed for an hour or so but it was great to see everyone.
We got back from our "Circle Tour" of Lake Superior last night. 1964 miles door to door for me. That was my first real long ride on the ST.
I'll try to do a ride report on that one later.
Here are a couple pics I snapped at YooperSToc.



oh, sorry for bringin' the guys with the loud pipes :eek:
but Joe and his Harley made it around the Big Lake without a blink or a bobble...

OK, I know it's a little after the fact, but I finally put my blog together from YooperSTOC. Ignore the dates at the top of each post...those are the posting dates.

Here are the blog posts on the departure and the 3 following days:

BTW, I enjoyed this trip so much, I made the trip across Lake Michigan, up Wisconsin, and up to Copper Harbor (which I chose not to go on during YooperSTOC). But more on that later.
