Anybody know why there is no Galena Raid on the 2005 schedule? Seems strange that Jim C. would just DROP the largest attended RAT event?

Not sure. Actually, I think that attendance had been dropping or levelling off in the past couple of years, while growing at many of the other Raids. A lot of people I know in the region said that they were growing tired of Galena.

Time for a change? You can always hit the BBC Rally in Wisco the month before...

If anyone is interested in either helping with the organization of, or
participation in a Midwestern "Mini-RAID" to take the place of the now
absent Galena RAID, please let me know. We are looking into locations
in southwestern Wisconsin for the weekend of Sept. 9-11.

Mark, What about Prairie du Chien? Hwy 35 along the Mississippi is very nice, also some very nice back roads. Not too far from Gays Mills and the apple fest is usually starting aroung then, very nice senic roads to and from. Could have a day ride up to LaCrosse and go up on the lookout. Just a thought if you were looking for ideas. Spring Green was a thought also wiyh the Wisconsin River right there. Might not be enough Hotel space available. Fitz :-D
