I took a couple of pictures this morning before I realized that I had left my SD card in my laptop so we had to stop at Fred Myers to get a new one. This couple pulled in while we were there and they were heading back to Lewiston, ID today.

Doug is thinking that it must be nice to be so young that you can ride a sport bike back to Idaho in one day!


The Bridge at the mouth of the Columbia kept appearing and then disappearing in the fog.

So did Doug

There were a lot of these loons that were lying dead on the bridge today. I think they were flying into cars in the fog.

I think these low lying clouds make for some nice pics

25 miles behind this guy tried my patience. :) :)

I sure like the picturesque old farms

Even better up close.

This bridge was built to drive cattle over the river in the 1800's

It was covered in 1905 because the rain made it too slick for the cattle to walk on

Now you know there is a light at the end of the tunnel.


Doug walking over to take a picture of me riding out of the bridge then realizing he forgot his camera.

I loaned him mine.

He did pretty good!



Next stop Long Beach, not just long but longest in the world.

It is mandatory to circle this bouy in your car.

Or motorcycle

Purveyors of some miraculous artifacts

Some kind of bird lady

Jake the Alligator Man

I think some of my Floridian Friends participated in it's capture.

Cape Disappointment didn't disappoint.

One of the few beaches you can drive your car on.

Foxglove, pretty rock and great waves


At least he is heading the right direction if the tide comes in

We got pretty scared when the Wild Hogs showed up.





My first impression is that this is as good as Plexus

Can't beat coming home to grilled Rib Eyes

He did a perfect medium rare

Great job!

Sherm and I decided to take a little trip to visit the  Wupatki National Monument NE of Flagstaff. It is estimated that these tribes were living here around 800 to 900 hundred years ago. It is kind of fun to walk around the ruins and try to imagine how they came up with a mortar to bind the rocks together into their pueblos. The guy just past those steps on the trail walked to the top of that hilltop pueblo. I on the otherhand took a very hard fall walking backward into those same steps trying to get a better shot of the building to the right in this picture. Three days later I am still stove up from the tumble. If you have really good eyes you can see that guy standing on the very top. They were using this very garden plot nine hundred years ago. Maybe not. Speculation has it that the circle area was used for games, rituals, and dancing. I'm still trying to figure out how they made the mortar. I don't think they had to look far for building rocks Sherm is getting all of the de...

She has carried me to many places and never a breakdown or even minor repair yet due to a factory issue. It was right here that it happened I'd wager that I'm not the only one to take a picture of this while rolling along. After enduring three days of 100* plus days and not thinking once to replenish my electrolytes, we arrived with me being as sick as I can remember in many years from heat exhaustion. I said my quick hello's and then headed to the rain locker to try and cool out. Even after four days, I am still trying to regain what little strength this old body still has.  When Sherm and I awoke the  next morning we took the CAR into Sturgis where I got some electrolytes to try and start my road to recovery. Replacing those had an almost immediate  effect on how I felt, but still a long way to go. Sherm heard that the Rapid City Powersports had a 900 Kawasaki that he thought he would like, he didn't. On the otherhand, I think these Vanderhall's are way cooler tha...

Quick stop in Kingman for tacos as I start my first trip of the year. Sherm gave me instructions for how to get to Pancho's but following those I arrived here which is not Pancho's. I have ridden over this bridge at least two times a year since it was built and I've always wanted to stop and use the walkway. I never seemed to have the time until this year. Now I'm a little worried about being able to climb to the top. Ugh! On the way up I needed to stop and rest so I took a picture so all of the other people climbing wouldn't think I was a wimp. Another rest stop. Hoover Dam. Lake Mead is still pretty low. A lot of horsepower of electricity is generated here. Looks like Arizona has a bridge to nowhere too! From the current water level to the top of the high water mark on those rocks is currently 154' From the walk way you can see the highway (I-11) as well as the dam. From the highway you can only see the pedestrians heads. The geologist or civil engineers did a...
