How ya liking Newport???

Thanks for asking.

It's nice here! Did not realize how small the town is. We went to Boston and saw a bunch of places to go wheeling on the way, but lots of posted trespassing signs. Did some sightseeing and eating this weekend in town.

I'm going to Chicago on a school trip the weekend of your M&G. We get back around 1900 on Saturday (into Boston) so looks like I'm going to miss it.

Also lots of Jeeps running around the Newport Naval Base. Haven't seen any MJ stickers, but my wife is going to send me some that just came so I can get em on my rig while I'm up here.

I may take some of the ferry's out to the islands and go driving around one weekend.

If you go out to the islands you WILL pass my place!!!

Also... there is a "GO TOPLESS DAY" happening on the 9th if you would like to meet up there!!!
