Also watching the conditions closely with fingers firmly crossed. Right now, Friday and Monday seem to mirror each other as far as temps go. At present, a slightly less chance of snow in the Siskiyous on Mon., 30% vs 70% on Fri.

The coast might be an option. Although the I-5 corridor in parts WA and OR are even showing low 30's.

I refuse to accept Costco Hot Dogs as an alternative. At least for now....... ;)

Keep Going!

This side of the mountains is solid ice from Bend to the border going south and the forcast doesn't look good so stay west and good luck.

 
I'm not going to make it, either. I spent today giving the feejer a bath and removing everything from the LindaT tankbag (filled a freakin' box it did!) and side boxes in preparation for selling it. Then I mounted a new SW-MOTECH City tankbag on the Super Tenere and wired it, and mounted my SPOT. And showed the V-Strom to a potential local buyer. Keeping my fingers crossed it will sell!

It's only far if you don't go?
 
Throwing in the towel, too bad, was really looking forward to this adventure. :(

Perhaps next year the weather gods will cooperate.

Bummer. Would have been good to see some you Nort-wetters there. Especially you. I got a booger especially for you and that new 09 FJR you stole from me. :lol:

Another time Greg...maybe I'll have a few thousand more miles on your bike by then! ;)

Okay, I give up. Really wanted to do this but it'll have to be for another day. Weather isn't cooperating. Gonna have to settle for a Costco hot dog. :glare:

Ya'all have a great time.

Keep Going!
Live to ride another day Jim! With the snow level dropping to 500', I'll have a dusting at the house in the morning.

Perhaps we pre-plan a PNW crew destination ride -- for a hot dog...say mid May 2012? ;)
