If you are looking for a place to meet the Evengelical Free Church just west of Iowa Falls has a large parking lat that would work.

| I have additional information to my first post regarding a place to stay in Alden Friday nite, Lurlin Hoelsher asked me to post an additional number to call, you can call Steve at 641 373 1910. Also everybody is invited to come back from the cemetary to the church Fellowship Hall for sandwiches befor leaving for home. These are some NICE people in Alden, and they appreciate everybody support in this time of need. |

Meeting place for the mission will be at the Evangelical Free Church just west of Iowa Falls at 9:30. The Library was suggested at Iowa Falls but I was informed that they will be open so we don't want to interfere in any way. The Des Moines ALR will be my representatives on this mission. My sincere thanks to all who are helping out and showing support to our Fallen Hero SSgt. Mark Wall. REMEMBER, The UG's Do Not Exist !!! They Are Not Worth Our Time!!!
Thank You

I am planning on making the trip to honor Sgt. Wall from SW MN - Pipestone. Anyone from Sioux Falls, Worthington, etc that is planning on going please contact me so we can join up. My cell phone is (507) 215-0494. I will be riding across on I-90 to Albert Lea and then south on I-35 - hoping to have some company on the way there and return.
God Bless Sgt. Wall, the family and all those who are travelling to honor him.

Alien, if we get out of here by 06:00 we should be there just about that time.
Keith, do you have a name of your POC in case we get asked?
Ride safe,

| Is there a good place in Ames off of I-35 to meet up? I am thinking that leaving Ames at 0800 would put us at the meeting place in Alden at around 0900. There is a truckstop off US30 in Ames just west of I-35. Would that work for everyone coming from Des Moines? It is 48 miles from Ames to Alden so 0900 is very do-able even with an unscheduled stop. |

Look for the Ducati with glow in the dark teeth. the Harley is on the lift for a new drive belt.
May God Bless this family and their friends that are supporting them.

| The best place to meet for the western Iowa & eastern Nebraska group is the TA Truck Stop at the Lake Manawa exit off I-29/80. 5:30 would be a good time. |

I'm trying to get a group for the ORA to leave out of Bellevue, NE. We are going to meet and leave at 0530 and hopefully meet at the TA in C/B. What time would you plan on leaving C/B the latest. It would take us about 15 to 20 min to make it from Bellevue to C/B that early in the A.M. since traffic is not that bad the early in the morning.

That is what I was thinking myself. If we leave Bellevue the latest 0530 we should be at the T/A by 0545. I'll post on the ORA web site leave Bellevue at 0515 and see what response I get. Thanks Keith.

Hello,
This is my first ride. I am coming in from Chicago, planning to arrive Late Friday. Found a hotel in Iowa Falls. Other than the gather place, is there anything else I need to know?
Looking forward to riding with you.

To all Minnesota PGR members.
PLEASE NOT THE CHANGE IN TIMES FROM MY EARLIER POSTING:
THE IOWA PGR HAS PUBLISHED THEIR MISSION START TIME AND LOCATION:
In the absence of mission details from Iowa, and in the interest of setting a ride plan, I'm going to publish the ride plan, such as it is here.
5:00AM...Meet at the Rochester Wall Mart South Parking Lot.
5:15AM...Leave the Wall Mart parking lot.
6:30Am...Arrive at the TA Travel Center on I35 in Albert Lea. Pick up additional members.
6:45AM...Leave the TA Travel Center.
8:30AM...Arrive in Alden, IA. at Hoelscher Ag. on Hwy 20.
Any and all PGR members are welcome to join with us.
We will take breaks every 50 miles or so.
The funeral is scheduled for 10:30AM.
The U.G.'s are expected to be in attendance.
Be sure to bring a 3'x5' flag if you have one.
All riders will need to sign a Patriot Guard Riders Release of Liability.
Like I said, we don't have any mission details from Iowa yet, so please be understanding and patient. Continue to monitor this forum for additional details.
