[QUOTE=michiganmike;124199]It's unfortunate that this can't be more of a "specator" event, but I do understand the reason for not releasing the daily route until the night before each stage........it just makes it difficult to find a place to watch everyone go by.
I plan on being at the Ferry entrance at Muskegon, Michigan for the ending of Stage three, got the cameras ready, batteries charged up. Can anyone give me an "approximate" time, that they "think" the bikes "might" start rolling in ??????just a guess would be great.
I would check on the ferry schedule to see when they will be boarding.

If you go on google news and type in motorcycle cannonball you will see the schedule of local towns that decided to promote the event. The ferry schedule is there. I just left the meeting hotel and I can say most people are ready for the long trip west. There are a few owners with bikes that wrenches are turning wildly to get ready. God bless them all for a safe trip.

Thanks Bob, those were awesome - wish I was there.
I guess us spectators need to stick together then. I'm gonna follow Bill Wood! I'll be meeting up with the cannanball riders in Anamosa at the Museum. And then continue on to spirit lake over night. I guess there is a meet and greet with the riders from 4:30-6:30 at the museum. but I've already been told that The dinner is by reservation only for the riders and their crews. I guess it's MacDonalds for me that night.![]()
