The Motorcycle Tourer's Forum (MTF) held their annual Founder's
Feast event in Clarksdale, Mississippi this year. We had a great time
enjoying the weekend with Keith & Sharon Burkingstock. On the way, Keith &
Sharon's alternator failed. Luckily, we were able to swap batteries and
get them to Honda of Tupelo. They replaced the alternator and sent them on
their way. We stayed at the Shackup Inn in Clarksdale, MS. What a
unique compound at the Hopson Plantation. We participated in the 7 hr.
mini-rally. It was very interesting with a lot of Blues themed bonus point
locations. On the way home, we stopped at Elvis' birthplace in Tupelo.
Another great weekend on the road!
