Well, WFO-6 was a huge success and is in the books. On reflection, it was perfect. What was better than the event was the ride to and from Park City. I’m blessed. I have some terrific friends. Let me share with you some of the ride…

Chef Andrew was getting funky with the garlic:

To make this (my camera had a few Jacks by then):

O’vale and Highlander discussing the cheap gas prices:

IMG_0285.jpg


Nope, none of us passed on the double yellow and why don’t people understand the meaning of pull-outs?:

IMG_0288.jpg


Ah, Big West scenery:

O’vale on cruise:

“Hey! What’d you do with my GPS?!” “Um, I ate it. It’s in here, now.”:

IMG_0315.jpg


“Yup, it’s still there, but it’s been 4 hours. Maybe I should call the doc…”:

The West is full of these old buildings:

The journey home.

Cool! Barabus spotted the exit for Bonneville!

Pano shot:

Carver, just how fun was that speed run into Bonneville?:

IMG_0640.jpg


Um, Carver? Those boots waterproof?

IMG_0642.jpg


I-80 is boring and hot, but it does have some scenery:

IMG_0663.jpg


Onto Susanville:

IMG_0671.jpg


Ahhhh, the goal of the ride home - California Hwy 36. A motorcycle welcome sign just west of Red Bluff:

IMG_0683.jpg


Could this be fun?:

IMG_0684.jpg


These two think so:

IMG_0686.jpg


This flag girl was smokin' hawt! She was very proud of her store-boughts and Carver moved in for a looksie:

IMG_0689.jpg


Entering a series of long sweepers:

IMG_0690.jpg


A 'Killboy' shot of Carver and Barabus. Imagine, 140 miles of these back to back to back curves. Imagine.:

IMG_0694-1.jpg


We ran into a nice fellow riding this back to Oroville from the coast. Just one in his collection of several MC's:

"Honey, the framostat valve is shot. They can't get one 'til tomorrow. I'll just have to be another day on the road. Izzat OK? Don't forget to feed Harley!"

"Izzat a Redwood or are you just happy to see me?":

IMG_0714.jpg


"Honey, it's all TWN's fault! Really! Honest *****! He made me ride 36 and 1!""

IMG_0717.jpg


Finally, the Pacific and cool weather:

IMG_0720.jpg


Girls gotta pee!:

IMG_0722.jpg


Do these two look a bit too friendly?:

IMG_0723.jpg


Nice!:

IMG_0724.jpg


Are you kidding me? Stop to pee again?!:

IMG_0740.jpg


IMG_0741.jpg


Beat this for a ride:

Sigh, this reminds me of back home in New England:

IMG_0757.jpg


Golden Gate:

Famous PCH shot:

IMG_0768.jpg


From this point, it was still another 300 miles home, 200 of which were pretty much the same kinda views. Yawn...

IMG_0779.jpg


Good times. 3,838 miles, 11 days and 1 set of Storms. I'm a'skeered to see the gas bill. :eek:mg:

'Til next year and NAFO!

Actually, that guy with the trailer full of beehives was making pretty god time climbing that hill. IIRC, he was going about 60 mph. :blink:

“Hey! What’d you do with my GPS?!” “Um, I ate it. It’s in here, now.”:
IMG_0315.jpg
Yep, we were discussing the differences in our respective GPS devices. Then Steve still turned the wrong way leaving the motel. :eek:

An over-the-shoulder shot of O’vale:
IMG_0357.jpg
Actually, I think that's me. IIRC, O'vale doesn't have driving lights.

Yeah, and he wasn't prepared for the wind blast at that speed (uhm...er...65mph?!)

"Hey, while we have an hour and a half for lunch, we might as well read a menu. Again and again and again and again..." :rolleyes:

AAaanndd...no pictures! May I suggest you DO NOT EVER eat at the "Mountain Pizza and Pasta" in Ketchum, ID. :angry2:

But it was all great fun and a wonderful adventure....

Great pix and thanks for posting. :D
And just the right size for easy viewing. (hint-hint)
Corrected that faux pas, Mikey!

Explique a mí, por favor... You mean they are too large for you to view in one screen? They resolve to 800 x 600 px on mine. :dntknw:

WFO sucked. I hated it. No fun at all. No fun over at the Cdog house, no fun in Club 105, crappy roads, lousy dinners. I'm not going next year.
