BMW MOA Rally
Midland, Michigan
July, 2000

Mac-Pac'rs Buzz Davis, Dan Dolby, Andrew Salisbury and George Wright met at Morgantown, PA at O Dark Thirty for the two day ride to Midland.  Richard Neuman and Joe Venslavsky were also expected, but were no-shows. The route would be in a northwesterly direction into NY State and cross into Canada at Buffalo.  We would spend the night at Crystal Beach, Ontario and then ride west across Ontario to Michigan the next day.
