Great WIR! Thanks for the effort!

 

[diamondlil]

Great WIR Halley. Thanks for including my holiday. Great selection of pictures, the miami greyhead is stunning!

 

[Nanci]

Thanks for doing a great WIR!!

 

[pridecity]

It was hard picking just one picture for each thread. I wanted to add them all! But then there wouldn't have been a reason to post the links.

@Janine: It must have been amazing there! Did you want to come home after seeing all that prettiness?

It was just amazing, but by the end of it I'd probably ridden up and down all the mountain sides I need to for a while! To be honest a slightly slower pace would have meant more chances to see and enjoy the wildlife there. On the other hand I was so pleased that all my building up of time in the saddle this year paid off so I was fit enough to ride all day without anything but minor aches.
The best thing about coming home was how overjoyed Rosie and the cats were, and the big hugs I got from my boys.

 

[ceduke]

You absolutely rock!! Great WIR, and it was nice to have a 11 hour workday without worrying about putting this together at the end of it!! I missed the corn rads thread, glad you pointed it out!!

 

[pridecity]

I'm glad you didn't have to worry about it after a long day. And I'm really glad you thought of me when looking for a replacement. It took me hours, but it was fun!

 

[AliasI]

Thanks for this great WIR!! ...and no, its no Love's

 

[pridecity]

Not a Love's and still way prettier than mine. And people tell me my Okeetee is one of the best they've seen.
