    The Great White North Liberation Army Launches Attack

    The Return to Spearfish Today was a history lesson for the Great White North Liberation Army as we took time from our travels to spend some time at the Little Big Horn National Monument.... We took roughly two hours wandering the grounds and soaking up the history that surrounded us...

    I have no concerns about the ButtLite riders. The first time they stop at a Canadian bar they will have a quality Canadian beer and all pass out

    Missoula to Billings Today was Big Sky country as we continued our way back towards Spearfish. Bust has been talking about moving out this way from Owosso and I think we found him a nice little fixer upper near White Sulphur Springs.... Speaking of White Sulphur Springs we took a little...

    We made it into Billings, MT early today and we have speedy internet so I posted up some video from Rattlesnake Mountain on Hwy 3. This video starts from the south as you drop down into the canyon down to the river. I didn't let dad lead this time... https://vimeo.com/173292983 Enjoy.

    ^^^^^^^^^ I'm just going to ignore the above ramblings La Grande to Missoula Jeff has wanted to order up the biscuits & gravy since we crossed the border..... After all what is a trip to the States without biscuits & gravy in the morning to make sure the bike stays planted to the ground...

    Maupin to La Grande we did stop at a pullout for one last look at the the mountains along the Oregon and Washington coast but the mountains were too far away and the conditions a little too hazy for good photos so we turned east and further inland on the high plateau.... We stopped in...

    Being surrounded by life sapping Samsung electrons for these past two weeks I had to roast up some apples to make up more life affirming applesauce to make it through this trip.

    John, as you are well aware there are no trees along Hwy 212. If you try and fool us with fake Christmas trees us Canuckistanis can spot those from miles away. Plastic Palm trees also won't fool us. Your plan is doomed to fail. Sorry.

    The Great White North Liberation Army Launches Attack

    Fontanaman had sent us a PM that discouraged us from the Oregeon Coast and Crater Lake over the long weekend. Instead we are focusing our efforts on the northeast part of the state and delay our return to Spearfish from our original plan by one day. This should make our last ride of the trip...

    The leg is healing up nicely and might be normal sized by the time I make it back to the border. As far as Ray's rebuttal goes I would like to prefix my reply by first acknowledging that I am an Apple user. I was a former Vista user which is why I now consider Microsoft and Operating System an...

    The Great White North Liberation Army Launches Attack

    You are correct that was Mt Adams, our recon map reading sergeant Ray is about to be stripped of rank. Look at what he did today.... Both Jeff and I had GPS routes that told us that Ray had missed the turn but it took the barrier at the south end of NF25 to get Ray to stop and turn around. It...

    Monroe to Randle We started out in overcast and worked our way to the east and south staying clear of Seattle commuter traffic. Once we got close to Mt Rainier Jeff thought he would view the scenery in 3D.... We stopped at the entrance of the park for a photo op.... We found one pullout...

    For this trip I had my spare keys surgically implanted so of course I have not lost my keys.

    Have it your way, Diablo Lake. Now if I don't get anymore interruptions from Bungie I can finish yesterday's report. One more photo from Diablo Lake... It seems everytime I get anywhere near Seattle my motorcycle is in need of some kind of repair. Once again members of the PNW crew came to...

    Ray is attempting to use the deny, deny, deny strategy. He might be able to fool some of the people some of the time but Jeff & I were there. Who you going to believe, the honest journalism of the original poster of this thread or some senile senior citizen I ask you. Newport to Monroe As...

    Almost positive the steering head bearing is loose. I have the All Balls Tapered Roller Bearings and it just needs a little adjustment. We are making arrangements with someone from the PNW crew to effect repairs. You need some special tools that we don't have with us. Due to a change in the...

    The Great White North Liberation Army Launches Attack

    I forgot to mention that I had my own interaction with one of the locals when he caught up to me just before the motel and started yelling and flipping me the finger after I had passed him earlier. I did not engage him since I did not know if he was armed. I just let him express himself and be...

    We were too busy hiding the bears and the mountain goats from the Yankee Hordes at the Visitor Center in Logan Pass to liberate any of the local citizens. Our first stop was just after entering the park when Crazy Ray our navigator had to stop to Crazy Glue his crown back on.... I do have...

    Red Lodge to Glacier After saying our goodbys to everyone we headed out of Red Lodge and travelled north towards Glacier National Park. At the start of Montana Hwy 191 we stopped at the Fort for gas and saw my first Tesla Charging Station.... Somehow this town border sign seems rather...
