THE IDES OF MARCH OR IS IT RIDES OF MARCH???
By Linda Stich
The first day of spring on March 18th was a gorgeous day
for our ride to the Pickett House - Heritage Village in
Woodville, TX. We had good attendance and the food
was great as always. After lunch, we split into groups to
either continue the ride or ride home. For those who continued the ride it was marvelous. The weather was so
good, flowers were in bloom, even though there was good
natured controversy over the names of the trees or plants.
March began with a wedding in our family. My
niece was married, in the cold and rain, on
March 4th at my brother’s ranch outside of Centerville. Instead of the guests sitting on bales of
hay in the sunshine enjoying the ceremony, we
were under tents trying to keep warm and dry.
The beach towels I had originally brought to sit
on were used to protect the kids. It was a wonderful wedding despite the weather.
The Blessing of the Bikes was a touching event held at St.
Martha’s in Kingwood. We appreciate Gary Rabalais for
arranging this as well as the lunch ride to Mike’s in Dayton afterwards. Gary and I decided to go home after
lunch, so he let me lead. Was this misjudgment on his
part??? The ride back was uneventful except for traffic in
Atascocita. The day was excellent!
Rain also interrupted our Breakfast Ride to the Walnut
Café at the Conroe Airport on March 11th. “Beware the
Ides of March”, in this case rain.
We had an impromptu ride to Rosenberg on Thursday,
March 9th. We had Mexican food and ice cream. Ummm
good! Our friend, Dan, lives in Needville and met us
there to enjoy the meal and ice cream. It was good to
have him join other wingers just to have a fun time. The
rain storm we had and other issues are another story.
Several members went to the Louisiana District Rally in
Lafayette on Thursday, March 30th.
There are always events planned and we urge you to attend as many as possible. You never know what to expect. Bee Safe!! Remember ATGATT….
We didn’t have a large group at the Tin Roof, but enjoyed
the comradely with those who could attend. The food was
good and plentiful.

THE IDES OF MARCH
Submitted by Linda Stich
The Ides of March didn’t signify anything in particular, it was just a way of saying March 15 th. The notion of
the Ides being a dangerous date was purely an invention of Shakespeare’s; each month has an Ides (often the
15th) and this date wasn’t significant in being associated with death prior to 1601.
Here are 10 things that occurred on March 15th per www.smithsonianmag.com/history.
1. Assassination of Julius Caesar, 44 B.C.
Conspirators led by Marcus Junius Brutus stab dictator-for-life Julius Caesar to death before the Roman senate. Caesar was 55.
2. A Raid on Southern England, 1360
A French raiding party begins a 48-hour spree of rape, pillage and murder in southern England. King Edward
III interrupts his own pillaging spree in France to launch reprisals, writes historian Barbara Tuchman, “on discovering that the French could act as viciously in his realm as the English did in France.”
3. Samoan Cyclone, 1889
A cyclone wrecks six warships—three U.S., three German—in the harbor at Apia, Samoa, leaving more than
200 sailors dead. (On the other hand, the ships represented each nation’s show of force in a competition to see
who would annex the Samoan islands; the disaster averted a likely war.)
4. Czar Nicholas II Abdicates His Throne, 1917
Czar Nicholas II of Russia signs his abdication papers, ending a 304-year-old royal dynasty and ushering in
Bolshevik rule. He and his family are taken captive and, in July 1918, executed before a firing squad.
5. Germany Occupies Czechoslovakia, 1939
Just six months after Czechoslovak leaders ceded the Sudetenland, Nazi troops seize the provinces of Bohemia
and Moravia, effectively wiping Czechoslovakia off the map.
6. A Deadly Blizzard on the Great Plains, 1941
A Saturday-night blizzard strikes the northern Great Plains, leaving at least 60 people dead in North Dakota
and Minnesota and six more in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. A light evening snow did not deter people from
going out—“after all, Saturday night was the time for socializing,” Diane Boit of Hendrum, Minnesota, would
recall—but “suddenly the wind switched, and a rumbling sound could be heard as 60 mile-an-hour winds
swept down out of the north.”
7. World Record Rainfall, 1952
Rain falls on the Indian Ocean island of La Réunion—and keeps falling, hard enough to register the world’s
most voluminous 24-hour rainfall: 73.62 inches.
8. CBS Cancels the “Ed Sullivan Show,” 1971
Word leaks that CBS-TV is canceling “The Ed Sullivan Show” after 23 years on the network, which also
dumped Red Skelton and Jackie Gleason in the preceding month. A generation mourns.
9. Disappearing Ozone Layer, 1988
NASA reports that the ozone layer over the Northern Hemisphere has been depleted three times faster than
predicted.
10. A New Global Health Scare, 2003
After accumulating reports of a mysterious respiratory disease afflicting patients and healthcare workers in
China, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Singapore and Canada, the World Health Organization issues a heightened global health alert. The disease will soon become famous under the acronym SARS (for Sudden Acute Respiratory
Syndrome).

Well, Spring officially arrived on Monday, March 20, at 6:28
am EDT, so now we are all ready to dust off our Goldwings,
dig out our favorite rides, call friends and hit the roads. Besides good riding, Spring brings on rally season in GWRRA.
As we all know, riding our beautiful machines always attract
a lot of looks, questions, and, of course, a great opportunity
for recruiting new members to GWRRA. Below is a great
articles written by Jere and Maurine Pyburn from LA-D and
former Region H MECs. Enjoy!!!
SPRING TIME AGAIN!
By Jere & Maurine Pybum
Springtime and the start of the new convention Season and great opportunities for Recruitment and Retention. Anyone
who rides a motorcycle eagerly waits for that first spring weekend where the local Group gets together to ride, eat, and
enjoy the open road. What better time to re-stock our trunk with Recruiting materials, so we are ready when we meet a
fellow rider who is not a part of GWRRA.
Many times a non-member will approach a group wanting to talk about all the bikes and also may have questions about
what the vests, shirts, jackets, etc. are all about. Here is our chance to promote GWRRA and all the programs that come
with membership.
Some things we might want to consider is being visible and eager to visit with anyone who has questions about GWRRA. A smile or a handshake is a good starting point to show a prospective member that we welcome new members and
want them to experience the camaraderie we share with our fellow members. A great selling point is that most Districts
offer a free Convention registration with an onsite new membership sign-up.
Also, don’t forget those members who have not been active for a while. Be sure and give them a call with a special reminder of Chapter meetings, information about the upcoming Conventions the Chapter will be attending, and invitations
to join the group for rides, dinners, etc. Sometimes all it takes is a phone call or e-mail to let them know they have been
missed even though they may be on your calling list. There are times a personal call is all it takes to make a person feel
wanted and become interested again.
Recruiting and Retention should be an easy task for any active member of GWRRA. Your enthusiasm, interest, and involvement should be an example of what we are all about and make others want to join in for all the “FUN, SAFETY
AND KNOWLEDGE” that comes with membership in GWRRA.
Remember our Motto “Friends for Fun, Safety and Knowledge”

Don’t forget the Texas District Rally is May 18 – 20 in Wichita Falls at the MPEC & Expo Center. Remember
this is the last rally for TX-N2’s own Mike & Robin Thacker as Texas District Directors and Kenny & Diane Shults as
Entertainment/Vendor Coordinator and Treasurer. They are coming home!!!
On another note: The other day I was looking for some information about the Region H Rally, so I went to the
Region H website. Wow – Region H has revamped their website. It is a lot cleaner looking, more user friendly, and
looks good! Now you can actually register for the Region H Rally (April 27- 29 in Marshall) three ways –
1. Print out the registration form, fill out the form, and then mail the completed form to Ed Nahl in Region H.
2. Use the PDF fillable form on line, print out the form, and then mail the completed form to Ed Nahl in Region H.
3. Register online, which uses Paypal for payment.

The Roads We Ride
Hello my friends:
As Gold Wing Road Rider Association members, we
travel all over the country and doing so I have learned the roads
are all very different. Some states and counties invest a lot of
money in maintaining their roads while others let them go bad
over time. Those of us who have attended Oklahoma’s District
rally know this well.
Many roads are made of different materials, the quality of their surfaces varies considerably, and they
might be pristine and immaculate in one place only to become pot-holed war zones a few miles farther along.
Some are well lit open roads, while others are dark and desolate. Asphalt roads might be great in moderate
weather but become dangerous in high heat or extreme cold. Others are clean and clear then become “Tar
snake” and gravel covered with overgrown weeds on either side. The Interstates are consistent in quality and
design. The various State and County roads are not.
The moral of the story is: As you cross a County line make sure to be ready for changes in road surface and quality. Slow down and take your time to test the new road. Maybe stay on the interstate until you
have time to explore back roads at a safe pace. We know the roads we travel often and sometimes assume other roads ride the same. This is often not true, so be prepared.

Chapter N2 - Humble, TX
Ways to Survive Camping in the Summer Heat
Don’t skip that camping trip just to
avoid the heat. Instead, get creative, grab some new gear, and develop a stay-cool-camping plan.
You can’t rely on a portable air
conditioner or even a fan when you’re camping. Staying
cool during the hot summer days can be a challenge unless you find a shady spot or set up camp by a river or
lake.
Wear light-colored, moisture-wicking clothes that are
loose fitting. Invest in a sun hat to keep your head safe
from the sun, as well as sandals to let your feet air out. If
you’re still too hot or plan to hike in the heat, soak a bandana in cool water and tie it around your neck.
Complete outdoor, non-water activities in the morning or
evening, when the sun is low and not so hot. Otherwise,
seek out hot weather activities like caving. If you’re near
a caving system, explore it with a guide for a few hours to
get a reprieve from the hot weather.
Make waterfront camping your top priority this time of
year. If you can’t score a campsite near the water, use
what you’ve got, take free cold showers if the
campground had this amenity, bring an inflatable pool to
fill up for the kids and or yourself. Bring some water
guns and have some fun.
Sleep is easier when you’re cool. Make sure your tent has
plenty of ventilation or try an open air hammock instead.
Having a small battery fan can help to keep you cool at
night.
Bring foods that you don’t need to cook, pasta salads and
plenty of fruit. Don’t forget to hydrate with a water bottle
that will keep your liquids cool. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, which will further dehydrate you. If you have space,
bring a cooler just for ice.
Watch for heat related illnesses, heat sickness and heat
stroke are dangerous and possibly deadly. Learn the signs
and watch everyone, including you.
If you don’t have shade, find a way to make shade. Using
a tarp will work but it always seem hotter under them, try
using a thin blanket or a sheet to make shade. Tie the corners to some trees or cars or even your motorcycles if
needed to get out of the sun.
If you break down getting to the campground, you may be
stranded on the side of the road for quite some time.
Make sure you have plenty of water with you, and a small
umbrella will sure come in handy.
If you do get overheated, remember to wrap some ice in a
towel and put it under your armpits, between your legs
near your pants zipper, and around your neck, this will
help to cool the blood flowing through out your body.
Keep your body covered eliminating sun exposure to your
arms, neck and other body parts. Getting a nasty sunburn
will only make things more complicated and uncomfortable. When I was young and going to the beach, we would
usually get too much sun. When we got out of the sun for
the day, mom would rub us down with white vinegar and
let that dry before we took a bath. This always seemed to
take the heat out of the burn.
So, stay hydrated, stay out of the sun, stay cool, and use 1
million UVA/UVB broad spectrum sun block and sun
screen when you are out. Remember Mork from Ork always said NukeAway will keep the nuclear waste from
bothering you.

Our Trip To Fort Davis,
Terlingua, Presidio and McDonald Observatory.
We left on Sunday, March 19th with Randy and Sharon Rainwater and Steve and Linda
Seligman. We rode as far as Del Rio. Randy and Sharon received word of a family
emergency and returned home on Monday.
The Seligman’s and us continued on our ride towards the Big Bend area making a stop in
Langtry to visit Judge Roy Bean’s place. We also toured the cactus garden there. The
lady working at the Visitor’s Center told us of a Star Party at the McDonald Observatory.
We made our reservations for Tuesday evening’s presentation while at the Visitor’s
Center and continued on to Fort Davis to our Bed and Breakfast, the Davis Mountain Inn.
After checking in and dropping the Seligman’s trailer, we took a ride up to the
McDonald Observatory while it was still daylight to recon the trip for Tuesday. We rode
to the top of the mountain where the main telescopes are and we took some pictures.
Tuesday morning we took Route 118 all the way to Study Butte and the Terlingua Ghost
Town. After going through the ruins and visiting the gift shop for some liquid
refreshments, we headed out on route 170 to ride the River Road through Big Bend
Ranch State Park and along the Rio Grande River all the way to Presidio. We had lunch
at the Bean Cafe in Presidio before heading back to Fort Davis and on to the Star Party
at the Observatory.
We decided to do the Davis Mountain Loop on routes 166 and 118, Indian Lodge State
Park and visit the Fort Davis Historic Site on Wednesday. Route 170 is definitely a
bucket list item if you have not had the chance to ride it. It is one of our favorite rides in
Texas.
Indian Lodge State Park has the Bear Restaurant which provided us with a reasonably
priced lunch before heading out to the Skyline Drive in the park and then down to a
great roadside picnic table before going into the Fort Davis Historic Site. We spent the
rest of the afternoon on this historic fort and seeing some of the restored buildings.
That evening, we went to the Drugstore in Fort Davis for dinner. The food was not to
my liking there but I think I was the only who did not enjoy it.
Thursday, we left Fort Davis and took route 17 up to Balmorhea and I-10. I-10 had
strong cross winds all the way to Fredericksburg which really wore us out. We got
checked into the hotel and ordered food delivered to the room.
Friday morning there was light rain so after breakfast at the Sunrise Grill next door, we
loaded up and tried to get ahead of the heavy rain rolling in from the southwest. We
were pretty much successful after we got to Johnson City and only hit a few sprinkles
the rest of the way home. We logged a safe 1,646.7 miles on this trip and it was packed
with loads of memories and a required redo for the Rainwater’s and anyone else who
wants to come with us. Watch for announcements of this trip. You will want to do this
one, even if you do it at another time on your own.

MEAT LOAF
(From Chandra Mixon, Linda Stich’s niece)
1 1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 c. water
2 eggs
1/3 c. ketchup
1-6 oz. box Stove Top Stuffing Mix (any flavor)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put eggs in mixing bowl and stir until yokes are broken. Add in water, beef, and ketchup and mix
together. Add dressing and mix thoroughly. Spray pan before adding meat mixture to the loaf pan and bake for 1 hour.
OPTIONAL (Linda)
Instead of ketchup, I used 8 oz. can of Basil, Garlic and Oregano tomato sauce. I put ½ can in meat mixture. Baked for 30
minutes, then poured rest of tomato sauce on top and spread over meatloaf. I used cornbread stuffing but you can use any flavor. I also used 93% lean ground beef. UMMMM DELICIOUS!!!!!
GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH
(Submitted by Sharon Rainwater)
Sandwich bread
American cheese and Pepper Jack cheese
Mayonnaise
Spread mayonnaise on to one side of a slice of bread, mayonnaise-side down in skillet. Place your cheeses on top of the bread
and top with another slice of bread. Cook sandwich in the skillet over medium heat until cheese melts and bread is golden
brown, repeat mayonnaise on other slice before flipping. Enjoy! (The mayonnaise spread on the outside of each slice gives the
bread a nice, crusty surface.)
