My wife and I are signed up. Daughter (who did the USA GT with me) is signing up with her husband and got a few others from work considering too.
The Region Rat Mob (NW IN) will be well represented!

Last batch of photos sent in shows that it is a tight race for first place between Charles Snyder and Ken Citterman.
RE: 2025 Grand Tour General Discussion - theemightyorbit - 03-20-2025 10:46 AM
I'm curious as to how you want our final spreadsheets/lists to be formatted.
Should it be by the days the rides took place, or by the days that the photos were submitted, or with the photos listed in the order they were taken, or with all the submitted pics listed in alphabetical order, or bits and pieces of the themes listed?
Anything else you want included in the list, or is city, state and establishment name sufficient?
Thanks.
RE: 2025 Grand Tour General Discussion - Yzr - 03-20-2025 10:36 PM
List of establishment locations - Include in the name of each photo, what the town the establishment is in; city first, state/province second, the name of the establishment, and your rally number last. Example: Countryside, IL, Sally’s Diner, Rider 803.
A list of poker chips - Include in the name of each photo, what town the establishment is in; city first, state/province second, the name of the establishment, how many points you are claiming, and your rally number last. Example: Countryside, IL, Illinois Harley Davidson, 2 points, Rider 803.
You can combine each list into one list or spreadsheet. At the end of your lists, list, or spreadsheet, indicate the number of points you are claiming.
Word or Excel formats are fine. If you are old school and still use WordPerfect or WordStar, right on and that will work too.
Don't need dates. Don't need the order taken. Don't need alpha order.

Call me Chuck please. Only time I heard Charles was when I got caught doing something stupid.
Oh, I see.....

Is a Lotus 123 spreadsheet OK, or would you prefer I convert it to a CSV file instead ?
RE: 2025 Grand Tour General Discussion - Yzr - 03-23-2025 11:00 PM
Oh my. If you have a Lotus file, send it over and I will see if I can convert it.

RE: 2025 Grand Tour General Discussion - DownUnder - 04-05-2025 08:57 PM

I can't decide which is the more decrepit. The main bar building, or the outhouse at the back.
RE: 2025 Grand Tour General Discussion - Lapchik - 04-06-2025 08:22 PM
It's a 520 mile loop for me. I am very tempted.
RE: 2025 Grand Tour General Discussion - theemightyorbit - 04-07-2025 06:37 AM
Nothin' quite says decrepit like a tar paper shack.
But, hey, as long as you're up that way, you can stop here,
46.43432155357522, -91.06231524048391
or here...
46.479384732473264, -91.1926295624941
That area is kinda target-rich.
RE: 2025 Grand Tour General Discussion - DownUnder - 04-07-2025 04:02 PM
The "Frosty's Outpost" (46.479) is down-right "modern" compared to the "Thirsty Trout" (46.434), but Kory's "Plywood Palace" still get my vote as most decrepit.
I particularly liked the photos of cigarette butts on the cracked, uneven concrete floor, the girls underwear pinned to the ceiling, and that titty autographs are only $1.

The bills hanging from the ceiling are worth more than the materials used to build that joint.
As kids, we built scrap lumber forts that had more structural integrity than does the Plywood Palace.
I've been in plenty of dive bars. That one tops 'em all.

Hey, at least the guy wipes the glasses off with his shirt and scoops ice by hand.
I think I'll stick to cans. Not sure I want whatever else they put in an old fashioned with the bitters. Probably listeria or E-coli or something.
