Rolling Thunder 2013

This Blog will Chronicle the adventures of:
Fred "Doc" Gardner
Paul "Blue" Hartridge
Art Simmons
Jim "The Gnome" Mulanix

Doc, Blue and the Gnome have ridden together the Pacific Northwest in 2010 and Doc and the Gnome have riddent to Rolling Thunder in 2011.

Art is the FNG and I'm sure he will pick up a "nickname" before this trip is over.  It will be his first trip to Rolling Thunder and his first visit to "The Wall". 

The primary purpose of this trip is to help Art in his journey from the jungles of Viet Nam back to the World.  This will be Art's first trip to The Wall and we want to make it memorable.

Following the Rolling Thunder activities we we will head south to visit with Ralph Luther in South Carolina, then over to "The Tail of the Dragon" in Deals Gap.   From there it is on to the Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Parkway before heading north on Rt 250 through West Virginia and back to my home in Michigan.

  1. Certainly looking forward to this event and catching up with everyone and also new people too.
    If it's anything like the Ride to the Northwest in 2010, it's going to be a journey of a lifetime!

  4. I have it and am now a "member". Really looking forward to this, I already have my camping gear located & have XM radio installed on my bike. I understand it is not a good decision to carry any weapons into DC, They do not respect any other states CCW?
