Just had to start with this one. Not sure if this guy has any indian blood in him at all or that he in interested in the festival, he just seemed happy to wander around letting it all hang out. Of course I had to start with this one as our brave adventurers just HAD to go over and have a picture taken. he said that he came from a tribe that wandered through long rough grass, they were called,..... wait for it.......the "Oh me Tingy Tribe"
You knew it was coming didn't ya?

Vietnam Wall

I just had to put this one first. My Wife enjoying every minute of this ride. She was waving and Hollering at everyone and they were yelling back at her. This picture was taken by our friend Stacey as we were coming through Sidney on to the final stretch of the journey. This is what it's all about!!

The wall is up and fior view at the Custerborder Fields in Sidney through this week and the Healing fields of flags will be there for a couple of days longer, so please go out and see them.

Vietnam Wall

More and more riders keep coming in to Wapak. The line of bikes never ends.

Vietnam Wall

Well here we are at the Chevy dealership. Just one of the many parking lots in Wapakoneta that held the riders until the 6:30pm start time.

Vietnem Wall

Oh my God, this was what we saw when the parking lot was filled up. There's me in the stetson. Funny enough I put it on so that I would get more pictures but no one seemed to notice it. Typical though.

Anyway, the procession took over an hour to get here and then another hour until the last bike came in.

This is absolutley awsome. SO many bikes and so many patriotic people. Its so unbeleivable. Estimated bikes were over 3,500. Papers in the morning say 5,000, where di they all come from?

Vietnam Wall Run

Getting dark now, so need to find a gap in all this to get out and off home for something to eat!!!
