It was a moving day for me and want to ensure we all can remember not only the service but what it means to be a member of this great extended family.

A solemn mission

For a noble purpose

Paying tribute one more time.

What a great group to be associated with

Heck making his way after the service

More riders heading off to do what Gleno loved most about the area.

One of many shots of people coming down the road. 4 cameras total captured the moment.

Goodbye my Friend..

I will be putting together a video and posting it up in the coming days.

The entire stills can be found here Gleno Photos on Smugmug

Thanks All Kaisr

An update for anyone heading up there soon. Our resident BMW rider that lives in Torrey UT was up there the other day and someone has removed the green Mt Gleno sign behind the rock in this pic.

I don't think it was an official since the brown and white SR-72 Mt Gleno Summit sign screwed into the back of the information keyosk is still there and you'd think that would be the first one they'd see. We're working on getting another sign up to replace the missing one and hopefully making it harder to remove. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up so you weren't looking for the sign that's no longer there if anyone goes up there in the near future.

On a side note, I know you guys do the Adopt A Highway thing in Vegas for SCS. I'm sure the rules are a little different in Utah, but those of you with experience with the Adopt A Highway thing can you PM me some of the details or let me know who in SCS to talk to about it? Some of us are looking into what it would take to Adopt a section of this highway that Gleno loved to get his name officially on there so we know it won't be removed. Looking at the Utah website for Adopt A Highway gives some basics like a 2 year contract with a minimum of 3 clean up days a year and that we have to sign a bunch of hold harmless agreements to not sue Utah if we get hurt. I'm kind of hoping to see what kind of logistics are involved with the cleanup and an idea of how many people would be needed to make this happen. Any help on this would be appreciated. I don't know that we can get enough people to commit, but I at least want to look into what we would need to do it to know if it would be possible or not.

This effort could probably be accomplished with 10 people or so. Usually, DOT provides all of the necessary safety equipment (orange vests) and trash bags to make this happen. DOT should also pick up the trash bags at a designated spot after the cleanup.

As long as there would be a place to park the bikes, this would be a great activity to incorporate into a riding trip. (especially on "Sweeper Madness") Our cleanup here in Nevada takes a bit more than an hour with about 15 people participating, so it doesn't burn up a whole lot of time. If a "Gleno Memorial" AAH happens, I'll commit to coordinating an annual trip to UT to do a cleanup.

Thanks, this is exactly the type of info I was looking for. The Utah website mentions them providing the equipment and pickup so it sounds like the same thing. I'll pass on the info and include the generous offer to be part of it. There's got to be at least 15 of us out of the 18,000+ people on SCS, BMWSportTouring.com and the PNW group that would like to do this.

Nope. Rode in on the Blue BMW that was parked in the garage. I met you for all of a minute, however my wife Meghan and son Jack arrived the day before and you'd probably have an easier time remembering them. From Bean's Gleno BBQ photo post this would be me

and this would be my son Jack.

Sorry no photo's of Meghan in there.
