    Volcanoe Ride

    I have a friend who lives up in Yacolt, and he checked with someone he knows on Windy Ridge. "I think it is snowed in. I was talking to some friends last night and they said that the 90 is snowed in. One of the guys was talking about snowmobiling in to one of the lakes." If 90 is snowed in...

    Gilligan's Island? Haven't you ever been up in those parts? More like Deliverance... :crazy:

    Looks like 78 and sunny so far, but that's 4 days away. They have a hard time getting tomorrow right...

    to the dogs

    I'm sorry for your loss. I think we sometimes take how much our pets add to our lives for granted until we're faced with them not being there anymore. Around the time my first marriage was falling apart I adopted a female rottweiler mix from the local shelter. She was found wandering alongside...

    Welcome, new guy. We'll see you at the Best Buy. Great run around Roslyn Lake out your way....

    Garage Door opener for 06

    I saw one somewhere online that was the same idea, but a double tap on the brake pedal or lever to activate...

    Mesh Pant Recommendations

    I agree on New Enough - they're very responsive and keep you in the loop. Only glitch I had with them was some information I got. I asked before I ordered if the CE knee/elbow armor would fit as a replacement in the pants, and they told me it would, and that it would be a good upgrade. So I...

    Mesh Pant Recommendations

    +1 on the Tourmaster Air Overpant. Got mine from newenough.com. Very light, very comfortable, and very airy. The knee armor is height adjustable. I tried on a pair at a local shop from a different company and the armor was too low. The TM stuff was in a good spot, but I bumped it up just to put...

    Killing Black Widows

    Not that I'd go out of my way to test it, but most adults would survive a bite. Black widows have their reputation built on the fact that they happen to live where a lot of humans live, so they've laid in to a lot of people. I don't know if we have black widows here in the Northwest, but I do...

    how do y'all get so many....

    Some guys like Odot apparently have no friends, so we, sadly, must fill in that void in his life.

    Volcanoe Ride

    It's understandable how someone in Texas would be clueless as to how roads up here have a tendency to gather moss and rocks, especially the little travelled ones that are just now getting traffic since they typically are covered with snow (frozen precipitation in the form of white or translucent...

    dark matter, missing pieces of the universe, etc...

    Well, now I'm lost. I thought the answer was 42. :dribble:

    VA Civil War Tour

    That would be fun. Too bad I live in Oregon now (used to live in Port Royal). Make your way over to Sunken Road too. There's a house there with some bullet holes in it from the Civil War.

    Garmin Street pilot mount for the 06

    The one you want is the smaller one - 065-0066 ($115.70). I just measured mine, and it's 4 1/8" wide at the widest part (the base).

    Garmin Street pilot mount for the 06

    If you can fit a stem stand or RAM mount on your bike, the Touratech mount should attach to that. I have the small locking one but haven't put it on the bike yet. Couple of things to be aware of - the cover for the StreetPilot cannot be put on the unit when it's in the mount (unlike the Garmin...

    Volcanoe Ride

    Software guesstimates about 3 1/2 hours to Windy Ridge. If we need to show up sometime between 11 and 1, we can meet up at 8 or so. Does that work? I'm with you on the weather, Bill. Riding in the rain itself doesn't bother me, but lousy weather combined with winding roads don't excite me so...

    Here's what I came up with: Portland -> Windy Ridge 137 mi est: 3:37 Route: Portland Carson Wakepish Rest Area Windy Ridge Wakepish Rest Area Cougar McCellen Viewpoint Carson 14W & 205S Total: 297 mi 7:28 It's possible the McCellen Viewpoint stop is misrouted - the Garmin...
