Great pics!.

Those are some of my favorite rides...even though they're a day away from here, the crooked roads are already calling me.

It's looks like you are becoming the photographic ambassador to Washington. Your pictures are such a pleasure to look at. Stopping and taking pictures is what I do least best. I just can't wait to see what is around the next bend...

As for traffic, you are dead on. Not a one to be seen. And Speed Tax Collectors, I have yet to see a single one on those roads.

bosozoku...

the call of the wild can not be ignored...

princessbeemie...

my job is to not wreck... the photog is that crazy wench micki... who photogs from the passenger seat... and wants me to stop more than i do... the bug eye brick just wants to eat miles... its beyond my control...

ogmike...

just giving back to the folks who helped get us here...

demenshea...

i see you are going to ride the rattlesnake on your next big adventure... its between f and g on your route map... it looks cool but its hot... there is a nice river at the bottom of the rattlesnake if you need to soak your feet...

Thanks for the great photos and preview of what I will be seeing when the Roseburg Oregon HOG club (21 of us signed up) will be doing the Hells Canyon run through Joseph. Can't wait to get there. Thanks again.
