Letter from The Editor Let Freedom Ring! America has just celebrated another birthday. We riders represent what America is about. Adventure, Travel, Strength and Pride are our battle cry. It’s a good time to thank a veteran for our Freedom. I love shaking the hand of those who served my country; buying them a meal; taking a ride alongside them; listening to their concerns over health care; helping them fi nd an outlet for their needs and best of all just loving them for what they’ve done for me. God Bless America! So who is looking for places to ride? This weather has been fabulous thus far and I’m hoping it continues. If you are looking for somewhere interesting and not far away, how about riding around Muskogee Oklahoma? They have over 700 miles of curves, hills, creeks, lakes and more surrounding their town in Southeast Oklahoma. Not to mention a cool battleship that you can spend a night in for a change in scenery. What a great way to get some veteran friends together! There’s an easy way to navigate this area by going to www.visitmuskogee.com. There you will fi nd many attractions to suit your fancy! A ride map is provided by the chamber of commerce that pinpoints the roads and attractions to ride. It’s a great weekend getaway! And may I remind you about the yummy food at Lucille’s in Mullhall, OK? Again, they’ve opened the doors to everyone. The demand was just too high. Don and Julie decided it was time to serve up some delicious home cooking once again on this perfect destination ride. a destination ride, this Whether it’s for dinner or place will not disappoint.
