Third week in July 2024 was the last Run to Raton; I just didn't get the photos posted in a timely manner. Doesn't sound like there will be any more.

Damn, I'm almost always in Alaska in the summer. Except last year. I was in recovery from surgery.
Couldn't ride but did a buncha car stuff. Well, maybe it will keep going. That's the thing about the smaller venues.
Attracts mostly independent minded folks, DIYers, not a lot of revenue to attract vendors.
Went to Aspencade several years ago with my buddy at Ruidoso. The one in October. He knew a club from Odessa that always camped the same place, so we hung with them. Good sized crowd, not huge like Daytona or Sturgis but pretty big. But that town gets a lot of visitors for horse racing and skiing, has a casino, some other attractions.
That famous pin striper from Arizona was there, does the Phoenix designs, lemme see, Steve Kafka. He is restoring the van that Von Dutch lived and worked in. The Von Dutch Project.
So it was a good rally. Sorry for hijacking your thread.
Keep on keeping on.
