Sure thing I will let you know when I get him and have had him on some rides with me and get some pics and we can meet up and pass him off. Where are you located exactly?

I have been informed that there have been difficulties in delivering The Dude to Gfortunes and he has not been online here in almost a month so now he will be headed south to Louisiana. Hopefully I can get some shots of The Dude with some gators. The temps are falling so they will be a bit sluggish which will give The Dude a chance to out run them. J/K I'll make sure no harm comes to him.

Sorry I haven't been around much, getting ready to move and been in school and won't be on much for while still. Any news on the Dude? Did you get him without issue, Snake?

RC, I still have not recieved the Dude yet. If you still have not sent him out than please send to the next person on the list as I will be going out of town for the next month and will not be able to go out on the bike with the Dude.
If you sent him please PM me the tracking #. |

Today I tried to take The Dude to the alligator farm but they were closed due to the alligators hibernating so first we stopped at the Louisiana Welcome Center and then to visit The Adai-Caddo Indian Nation near the city of Natchitoches. The visit was very informative and enlightening. The Dude was given a headdress pin by one of the members of the tribe. It was an honor for The Dude and myself.

IMG_0321[1].jpgIMG_0322[1].jpg Here are his two new pins. One is a Fleur De Lis which is a symbol of Louisiana and the other a Headdress pin giving to him by The Adai-Caddo Indian Nation. IMG_0323[1].jpgIMG_0324[1].jpg Sunday I will be leaving for two weeks of training in Muscatine, Iowa so I guess he will continue his ventures there. |

Here is an updated list with additional people that have expressed an interest in showing The Dude around. The temps. are starting to drop in many parts of the country so he may have to stay in the south and western parts of the country. Please let me know if you are still interested and what times of the year would be best. I will go down the list to next person in line.

Some pics from The Dudes trip to Muscatine Iowa. I was off last weekend so a coworker recommended that I take the Dude up north to Wisconsin and visit "The House on The Rock" It was well worth the 3.5hr drive to get there. It is a house that was built on the side of a hill with many rooms. Two of the most interested were the carousel room and the infinity room that juts out 218 feet over the side of the mountain with no supports underneath.
Here he is getting ready for his trip by checking out the map so he could serve as my co-pilot and stopping off for a good breakfast before we hit the road.

My favorite room of the house, The Infinity Room, which juts out 218 feet from the house and hangs over the valley bellow.

Well I have not heard anything from dimefied and Kitdog has not been on in over a month so next in line is Komohana. Surely the weather will be good on the island.

I just got internet hooked up today, will be a few days until I can get around to re-doing the list and getting him shipped out again.
@Spooph- You don't need to re-volunteer again, it's just that your name was never added to the list. I will get the list updated and we can get back on track once I get the house situated. Thank you all for the wonderful gifts you gave the Dude, Ana has had a blast looking through pics, maps, and the awesome pins you all have decorated him with.

Looks like he was next on the updated list, so he can take him and that will give me time to get situated and pick back up after the holidays. I will send him a pm.

I'd be happy to host the Dude in Barbados, give him a bit of riding experience on the other side of the road. Also cool to get your daughter thinking internationally.
Its warm down here year-round if other members having winter riding issues. PM anytime for address. (Its a U.S. military shipping address, so local postage - no worries.) |

Absolutely, I haven't gotten in touch with Komohana so I will be shipping him out to Floyd when I get a chance. He would have been out much sooner but school is killing my schedule.

Sweet. We'll make sure the Dude gets on a surf board, picks some sugar cane, rides the back roads on the east coast and generally enjoys his time in Barbados. I may even be able to swing a photo at the US Embassy and with a Barbados government minister if I can catch down at the rum shop. I hope your daughter enjoys the pics to come.
