I road part of the way from Seattle to NAFO with the Seattle FJR gang. I choose to complete some Dam Tour targets in NE Washington thus dropped off the group in Winthrop.
My route was something like this. Plenty of twisty roads on this route featuring the North Cascades Hwy.
We met at a McDonald's in Arlington, Washington and left on time at 7:30.
Departing photo.
I decided to ride shot gun and take photos along the way. I first stopped to take a photo of Whitehorse Mountain near Darington. My photo stunk so I grabbed this one off the web instead.
The group stopped in Marblemount while I road on to get some photos. Before I could get set up the group road on by all of them following semi on a warm up section of the North Cascades Hwy. I say warm up for it is just outside Marblemount along the North Cascades Hwy where the good twisties begin.
I managed to get this shot of the group riding away behind a large truck moving slowly - oh the agony......
The next stop was at the Diablo Overlook where I caught up and once again continue on to get photos of the group.
We planned on stopping at the Washington Pass Overlook but it was closed. Here are a few images I have shot of the North Cascades Hwy over the years.
A wide angle lens shot before Rainy Pass.
Rainy Pass looking westbound:
Liberty Bell Mt. at the Washington Pass Overlook.
In Winthrop I waved so long and head for Paterson Lake Dam near Sun Mountain Lodge. Here is my Dam Tour photo.
Onward I went to Omak and Nespelem, Okanogan, WA where I shot this photo for Dam Tour.
Just out of Nespelem, Cache Creek Road has a nice turn nearly right out of the gate....
I went to Owhi Lake to get this Dam Tour photo.
Next was the Bridge Creek road a very twisty road with all sort of interesting conditions.....
And on to Castlegar I went.
The End
