**************************************

Can I move in with you and Jill after? Pretty sure the locks'd be changed here LOL

 

[FJRay]

If George and Jill don't have room we do. Hell you can bring that POS Harley if you want to. I need another tractor.

 

[user 6393]

Awesome! Got room for the 5 gallon bucket of locktite I need to keep her on the road, too?

already have that cause I work on a lot of paint shakers.

 

[escapefjrtist]

Safely in Klamath Falls for the night. Fontanaman is busily plotting our route for tomorrow, trying to miss most of the rain [and snow] on the higher passes.

Me thinks the coast [and warmer temps] is calling our name tomorrow...

[101stpathfinder]

Wow ! This sounds like a good time.

You all have a great time… and please take some pictures and post some stories.

Hotel said they didn't. But we can call for a couple of taxi/vans and Gregory said he could shuttle people in Friday night.

 

[escapefjrtist]

Fontanaman and I are composing a proper ride report...but in the mean time, a couple teaser pics.

Leaving Klamath Falls this morning, we delayed our departure two hours to miss the worst of the weather...gotta love October rides!

Once the clouds [and snow] lifted the views were out.

Hold up tonight in Fortuna. Lost Coast, Ave of the Giants and points south are on the agenda for tomorrow. Wine country for Tuesday and then move east to the Sierra Foothills.

[Fontanaman]

Yeah --G and I found the snowmen above today, 30 minutes later a couple of Peacocks along Hoy Road outside of Weed, got rained on pretty good on Hwy 3 near Scott Mountain Pass and avoided a downpour in Weaverville by having lunch at Subway. We got even luckier having undercover parking at the Subway, letting the storm pass and heading to Fortuna. All in all a very interesting and nice day. We also found construction along Hwy 299 was a good thing. We moved to the front of the line on the one way stop light constructions zones - that was very nice as the road had dried so we got to enjoy some twisty bits along Hwy 299 on a Sunday afternoon unobstructed. Whooo hooo!

 

[Bugnatr]

Forecast is looking real nice for this weekend. Hippo or KTM? Gotta love these third world problems

 

[Niehart]

Forecast is the least of your problems, riding with escapefjrtist and Fontanaman will bring on a whole new set of problems. Jealous, not me ...JSNS!

They are rolling into our pad tonight. Wednesday they are on their own and I suspect Bucks Lake and LaPorte Rd are in order but Thursday I have some knarly goat trails butter smooth roads for us to ride on.

Tyler --> Thx for setting up dinners.

Friday is a travel day for me, so I may not roll into Redding by 6:30 - tentatively yes, but start without me.

Count me in (+1) for Saturday!
