The last day of the conference was a blend of local tourist fare and the closing ceremonies tonight. I had finished with the seminars so I got to go to the Jazz Festival in River Run and do some sightseeing in the ski village. It is beautiful. I wanted to ride the gondola to the top of the mountain but with the ride home beginning tomorrow I could not risk any altitude sickness. The tiredness I have had at this elevation is enough.
Well, the pictures have loaded backwards. The gal in red is Lois Pryce, one of the reasons I wanted to come to this conference. She is a Brit who rode a Yamaha 225 from Alaska to Argentina all by herself. She was tonight's Keynote Speaker for the closing ceremony. She and her husband are currently touring the US of A in a Ural sidecar rig, while doing a boat tour of the world. Truly an inspiration and a very vivacious girl. Her slideshow was astounding!! After she did the A to A trip she upgraded to a bigger bike......a Yamaha XT250! HA! and rode the length of Africa through the Sahara desert to the Cape of Good Hope. I got nuthin...
How do you like that fluffy Michelin man with the helmet??? I gave him a hug for a safe ride home! Now if I could only figure out how to make the picture rotate. Who knows??
Back on the road tomorrow headed back south.
