Welcome to “Thunder on the Columbia”!
Keeping with The American Legion’s vision to localize “Rolling Thunder” and in following Iowa’s Wasmer Post 241 with “Thunder on the Missouri "and Carson Post 137’s “Thunder in the Columbia Gorge “, "Thunder on the Columbia" was created by Carson Post 137 in 2023. TOTC is coordinated by both the Legion Riders of both Carson Post 137 and Wenatchee Post 10.
An annual Memorial Weekend event riding in Honor of those who have gone before. Riding through towns and stopping at Posts from Northport, WA to Cape Disappointment, WA., the Legion Riders are used as a conduit to bring the communities and Posts together. The primary mission is bringing Remembrance and, as people want to be part of something good, the ride draws attention to the Posts visited along the way. Citizens then can find a place in their new family.
Yes, 772 miles of Remembrance and Americanism filling your Spirit with joy and enthusiasm!
To join in the procession, meet at one of our scheduled stops listed on the ride plan. Whether you ride a motorcycle, drive a vehicle or are a passenger, please, join in the Spirit of Americanism for "those who've gone before"! Registration is $40 which includes the patch and year rocker. If you ride "All the Way", will receive that rocker. Net proceeds are distributed to local Veterans Homes and the Biddle Foundation.

You can contribute by donating to "The Cause" or sponsor fuel. The Riders "Buy-in" for fuel at $40 and a fuel team refuels the riders until the fund runs out. This allows for greater time at the stops. As the riders remain on their bikes.
You can donate at any of our stops or mail a check to American Legion 137, P.O. Box 98, Carson, WA. 98610. Please, note on the check TOTC Cause or Fuel.
