Don't know if I can make it, but I've ridden the roads there before, and the area is beautiful and should provide excellent riding.
The roads in the Mark Twain National Forest area are nothing like those in the Appalachian region. It is unlike any other area I've found except parts of eastern Arkansas. Long series of fast sweepers for miles go through rolling hills with very little traffic. Those roads are why Friends of Freddies was such a popular event, IMHO. It will be fun. Just watch out for that right turn at the top of the hill on route K SW of Annapolis. :-)

Someone said we had 500 attendees at Johnson City STAR. True but that was 2011 when the average age of members was lower and membership was about 50% higher.In about 2003 STAR was in Mammoth Lake CA. I did not make that one- it was too far from Ohio- but the attendance was less than 225 as I recall.When you think in terms of the distribution of MSTA members around the USA, Cape Girardeau is clearly a "West" location.My personal preference is to have a STAR in Colorado, NM, SD etc about once every four years and find the balance of the past few years to be about right.Norm Kern
