Name That Place Game

The answer is Hwy 604.  Trust me - this is one cross road not to be missed.

And here is where the rest of the riddle (appropriately) came from:

I'm not sure I buy that, but I tried...

Duane - you are up!

Lol! I totally missed that as a clue. I just thought, wow, Pants really is inspired by that road.  That was pretty good.

Looks like Mt Shasta in northern California

Agree, definitely on the eastern (or north eastern) desert side of the mountain. Perhaps hwy 299 or 139?  Nice clear day for sure.

 

[1911]

Little farther north than CA

Same little hill from another angle in this pic that I took

I must not be the only one whose attention was caught by that old farm

Looks like Mt. Jefferson in central Or.

 

[1911]

Ray is in the neighborhood

If it isn't Jefferson then I'm going with Mt Hood.

 

[1911]

Hood it is. 

You Oregonians might get a kick over how much these two easterners enjoy the high desert. Riding up 97/197, it seems like we watched Hood on the horizon for hours. Just when we start to think the road will go high, straight and flat all the way to the Arctic Circle some great sweepers drop us down into and then up out of Maupin and there is Hood again. Then it's a little more high straight and flat to the Columbia River. At least that's how I fondly remember it.

Just for kicks Google Earth streetview    45°12'26.62"N   121° 7'24.47"W   and pan around

U.S. 26 bout' 25 miles east of Prineville, OR, looking west?

197 near Maupin looking west to Mt Hood. 

Got somewhere to take us Ray?

Edit-Doggonnit Archer now I want to go to Prineville and Mt Venon and Spray and a bunch of Idaho and........

 

[Archer]

Edit-1911, sorry I was late with my guess, but I was there last September going to RR #9

Panman is the ride leader you want for all part Central and Eastern Oregon.  He took us places that cattle fear to travel.  LOL.

Don't know how to post pictures so somebody else go for it.

It’s easiest than taking a KZ1300 apart and putting it back together.

 

[1911]

MANY of us consider the road off this overlook one of the greats! The trick is to stop thinking of it as a raceway and just stop to take it all in for a moment

I can do the KZ1300 with wrenches and experience. Puter **** is foriegn **** for me.

 

[hppants]

That has to be the Cherahola Skyway.  And it is one of the greatest!

 

[1911]

Not Cherohala but you can do this road and Cherohala in the same weekend or even the same day, and it would be a good weekend or day.
