THE BIG LITTLE TOUR OF MINNESOTA

This year the Nobodies Summer Tour went big in a small way. Inspired by Jill A. Johnson's Book Little Minnesota ; a nostalgic look a Minnesota's smallest towns, the Nobodies spent six days traveling around Minnesota passing through many small towns, while using only county roads and state highways. From the eastern boarder following the St. Croix River and Mississippi River to country roads along the Iowa boarder then heading north to the Canadian boarder following the Rainy River, the Nobodies saw a good sampling of little Minnesota. The natural beauty of the state was continuous throughout the tour. Due to our photo policy that no members can be photographed; all the pictures of the tour are scenic with the exception of the author and  Jawa The Puttz ( who is an illegal alien from the Gazx Galaxy, thus rendering him no personal rights).

Small Town Minnesota offered many nice lunch break sites





Sometimes the County roads regressed to narrow gravel roads

NOBODY CLUBHOUSE NEARS COMPLETION

After years of fundraisers, empty tank rides, bouncer jobs at Playfront events the new clubhouse is nearly completed.  We were able to save thousands of dollars by hiring Cat Construction. The foreman for the job Socks was relentless in making sure each job was done correctly. Socks also took care of our mouse problem! A Big Nobody Bash is being planned in May. The Nobodies hope that this investment in a modern and plush clubhouse will motivate many potential nobodies to prospect with us. We also believe the on site state of the art motorcycle shop that will be constructed this summer will lure other bike lovers.
