Ugly as sin, but gets me where I want to go, with all the comforts of home:
She holds two weeks worth of food and gear, gets 60mpg fully loaded... that somewhat helps with the fuglyness factor... |

| Yup, a nice looking biznatch Joe. I washed and shined up my GS yesterday. I am hoping to ride everyday next week (except the holiday/storm) and I am hoping the riding days are coming sooner than later. We definitely need to get together for some rides this year. What do you have planned? |

Nice fugly ride. Loaded down my GS could give it a run for it's money on the fugly front. GSs are like new babies - to everyone else they all look the same - to the parent they are simply beautiful.
Fano posted a ride report in ADV for his run out on the Pony Express trail yesterday (look in the regional/rockies forum). Conditions look better than I would have thought. Today screwed it up a bit though. |

Acca,
Capo said we need a new trip leader! Which must indicate I wasn't up for the job... so have at it... I'm all ears.
Would like to hit the PNW and push into BC a bit before heading east and home. Bring your tent... and good rain gear!
Sounds like you, Capo, and I need to do lunch.
(still working on Baja for Nov - any interest?) |

The PNW would be fun, I'd love to spend some quality days in the Canadian Rockies as well... Return trip could be made off road in No. Idaho and W. Montana... *drool*
I took this picture on Highway 1 in So. Oregon, the fog would have been about 6" above my helmet if I was on my bike... prefect temperature's, no traffic, amazing views and vistas... I was wishing I was on my bike for most of that trip. :D |

How 'bout we buzz up to SE Montana and cut across Idaho on the McGruder corridor! Drop through Hell's Canyon and mozey on back through another direction. Looked at it last year to do in June - Ranger noted we were welcome to try... but the 14' snowdrifts could be problematic! Best time to go is late Aug.
So what do we do in the meantime! |
