I FINALLY got all my pictures uploaded so I can post them.
No, I won't bore you with the entire group.
I will share some experiences with you.
First, I now have a practiced ability to ride in the rain...for days...and miles.
exskibum & Bluestreek in the rain, gas stop @ Lovelock NV
Riding in the rain, between Lovelock and Winnemucca NV
Dinner stop at Jordan Valley OR. It had been raining "sideways" about 10 miles back.
Dinner picture...just for Old Michael
2nd day, North of Caldwell ID on Hwy 55. We rode for 200 miles in this weather before it finally broke around McCall.
3rd day, it had rained from Lake Coeur d'Alene to the border. Here we are approaching Radium Hot Springs under ominous clouds.
Of course it rained while we were unloading and through dinner. There was quite a storm and power was knocked out in the town for about 2 hours.

More rain!
4th day (Tuesday, June 16th) we're entering Kootenay Nat'l Park on our way to Banff & Jasper.
It will be raining in Kootenay.
5th day, after Banff, riding through the Canadian Glacier Park on Hwy 1.
And...
The 6th day was a lovely day to ride along the river to Vernon and head East to Nakusp. Once at CFR we took a little ride on the 7th day (Friday 19th) to the town of Kaslo.
Following FJRay and Bluestreek as we catch a group of Harley riders.
Lookie at what we found in Kaslo!

Rich (exskibum) and I rode to Kalispell where Judy had flown in to join us. We got up on Monday, June 22, to ride through Glacier Nat'l Park.
Rich and Judy suited up for rain.
We're riding in the rain...ridin' in the rain...what a glorious feeling...
The sign (and a baaadddd sign):
This will break, right?
This is less than fun!
Rich and Judy.
This is where we decided it was more miserable than adventurous. We turned around and headed for the visitors center/restaurant for some hot cocoa and coffee.
Riding on Hwy 2 on the South side of Glacier.
East gate to Glacier in Browning, MT.

Geez MM2! I thought I was the only one to ride through days of rain It's character building - and makes you grateful for nice weather

And finally....my last rain photos, heading home across Nevada I ran into 3 different rain squalls. None of them serious enough to "suit up", but rather , I rode through them and dried out on the other side.

Oh no, Mary Ellen, we'd been riding in rain for days when we got to Nakusp. Those who left a day or two behind us had nice weather their whole trip.Geez MM2! I thought I was the only one to ride through days of rain
I wouldn't change the experience for the world. We had a great time and I was fortunate enough to have great riding companions to share the experience with. That probably made the difference...we just suited up and played motorcyclist. B)

We did find some interesting, fun, twisty, winding roads on our CFR excursion.
White Bird grade off Hwy 95 just below Lewiston ID.
Spiral Highway, 10 miles north of Lewiston ID.
Beartooth Pass.

Friends!
Having the right riding companions on a journey like this: Priceless!
Meeting old friends and making new ones was wonderful.
Rich and Steve in McCall ID
Steve @ Lake Coeur d"Alene
Rich @ Lake Coeur d'Alene
Bluestreek & exskibum @ Athabasca Pass, Banff
Steve & friend @ Revelstoke
While riding in downtown Revelstoke we saw another FJR. Going to investigate we recognized it as the Highlander's bike so we called them on the hotel phone and we all went to dinner.
L-R: Dave, Steve, me, Rich & Dianne
We rode from Revelstoke around to Vernon then East toward Nakusp. Crossing on the ferry to Fauquier we saw the Rogdebs and Hycles at a restaurant so we pulled in (I believe Hycle has pictures of that meet). While there another group of FJRs pulled up> Sacramento Mike followed by R-L: Rogdebs red FJR, Hycles FJR, Sac Mike's FJR, the Gfrans, the one and only Barb, herself, Huron52s (Tom and Pam) and MEM.
Penny (FlyingMonkeyGirl), Dave (FastJoyRide), Tom (Huron 52) and MCML (Joe) on the bike
Lining up at the Group Photo (Watch the hand, John!)
I think I already posted that I stopped in SLC and had lunch with the Cdogmans, Robin and Kenra
As I complete my albums I'll post the links so more of my photos will be available for your viewing pleasure.
