THIS PIC IS NOT DON..however this is one of the only guys I found a pic of riding in sandals..wonder if Don wore socks too? If so this guy below is a trendsetter for sure.

I didn't know what KOA was so I looked it up..it's a camping deal in FLA....I found their website and it looks sick...most of the photos are from the early 90's...below is their TM tag-line...they put the K in Kamping.

Me: No way! Do you know if Stan's update pics lately? Is the young gun still riding with you? Riddles/Stores?

Don: Stan has not...I'm riding with Uncle J

Me: Who's Uncle J?!

Don: Uncle J is Jerry Boyer, a 66 year old gnarler riding a Recumbent bicycle...

Don: Plenty of cool stories but I can't remember them when texting or it is too big of a riddle.
