Spearfish or Bust

[Ray Davis]

Jim, are there going to be any mini rallys on the west coast in the near future?

Sid, we put together two events last year locally. One in the ORA outside of Temecula, and another weekend thing in Chula Vista, CA.

If you're up for it, I'll make sure to include you in the next one! Mini-rallies are up to us members to plan.

Joe,

The SD-DOT guys didn't waste any time recovering the lost revenue from this morning.... Karen and I went to Devil's Tower WY after lunch and the same group that put on our seminar were setting up fro business in the east bound rest area on I-90 about 12 miles from here.

We saw the SD-DOT crew working a place on I-90 east on Wednesday (near Sturgis) after we left Spearfish rally. One recognized our bus and waved.

It was very nice of Dale/Jan to organize their visit and weigh-in. Thanks.
