The Canucks know how to do it up right. Nice RR Billy. It will be handy for Ray to read about his trip. Increasing memory loss plagues the old guy ya know.
We conned Billy into all the time spent photo-editing and such...... some of us old guys need our nap time instead. Mind you, letting him be the first guy in writing is sometimes dangerous..........

Look at the map above.... anybody knows that straight line made by that Applecrap GPS doesn't exist...... I followed the crooked road NF90 as I am known to do, I went up 25 there to see if Billy got there first on his straight line course. Of course, once we got the superior Samsung version running, we had to get him turned around onto the Wind River Road.

Kids in the Hall + Monty Python's Flying Circus = The Great White North Liberation Army! :rolleyes:

Really enjoyable RR Billy, keep it coming! Btw, how's your leg doing?

The leg is healing up nicely and might be normal sized by the time I make it back to the border.

As far as Ray's rebuttal goes I would like to prefix my reply by first acknowledging that I am an Apple user. I was a former Vista user which is why I now consider Microsoft and Operating System an oxymoron.

That POS Samsung of Ray's can only connect to MickyD wifi which is why Ray always stops there because it sure as hell is not for the coffee.

I have tried to help Ray out bu hiding that Samsung POS in the garbage but he keeps finding it. I even offered to go to Walmart and buy Ray a dixie cup and some string which would be a vast improvement over the phone capabilities of that Samsung because that is just the generous kind of guy I am.

 
To get to Crater Lake from Maupin they have to go through my town. I'll alert the local malitia. Maybe I can lure them with a Reuben and capture them for the local zoo.:) :) :)

 
Enjoy the ride this morning. I hope the clouds are high so you get to see 6 Volcanoes. (Hood, Jefferson, N&S Sister, Bachelor and Mount Mazama - Which is now Cater Lake)

ummm, FjRay, you ARE the local militia!
In this part of the state my arsenal is minimal at best.
I hear that little cannon is good for inflicting pain...I say you get 'em back for the Battle of Fort Mackinac...or any other sordid misdeeds performed by them during this trip.

 
Fontanaman had sent us a PM that discouraged us from the Oregeon Coast and Crater Lake over the long weekend. Instead we are focusing our efforts on the northeast part of the state and delay our return to Spearfish from our original plan by one day.

This should make our last ride of the trip through the Black Hills much more enjoyable.

 
There will be a minuteman, or more likely a militiamen behind every tree on US 212 to repellent the invasion.

 
Remembering that the pupose of obstacles is to delay and confuse the enemy... I suggest lining the HWY with randomly placed boxes of Thin Mint and Tagalong cookies, cases of cold beer and copies of the political platforms of our leading political candidates.

 
Stop in any dinner in NE Oregon to get a motorcycle map of all the great road. Hwy 218 and Hwy 245 come to mind. Anything east of Alt Hwy 97 to the Idaho border, south 26 to north to I-84 are awesome roads. I have dubbed this geographic rectangle "Riding in the Box".

Watch for gravel on the right hand turns and have fun.

John Day has a good selection of Hotels. You can make loop rides out of their until the attack east continues. Although I am certain the only thing liberated is your souls.

John, as you are well aware there are no trees along Hwy 212. If you try and fool us with fake Christmas trees us Canuckistanis can spot those from miles away. Plastic Palm trees also won't fool us.

Your plan is doomed to fail. Sorry.

 
In my best BeemerDon voice! ........

Funny thing about this whole Great White North Liberation Army is that the only thing they have liberated is the Virginity of nearly every Domesticated Farm Animal along their path! The so called battle is instantaneous over with a couple of blow up sheep that appear to be within stumbling distance from the road.

In reality, these two guys are some of our most beloved!!

We decided to go easterly as Bill was afraid of what FJRay had in store....... this morning we started out in Maupin at this little diner/gifty shop called Henry's. All kinds of odd goodies for sale there.

As soon as we get in the door, Bill is awestruck by it all but spies this wheel and wants to spin, çuz he likes games............. I think he was hoping for the free pampering party. Jeff and I have not been cooperative in that regard, and perhaps Mary Kay will oblige.

Next he wanders over to the clothing department...... ooooooh, pink hats..... he wanted the pink camo one but we wouldn't let him buy it. I mean, really, did he think we'd let him hang out with us while wearing that? No.

We spied some beer coozies, I thought this one was fitting..... Bill of course picked out another one, I know he's gonna post that up using his AppleFitter computer.

As we travelled across the Oregon countryside, we did see all the mountains Heen mentioned....... how fitting Bachelor is right beside the Three Sisters. Jeff said they had big tips, but I told him I had seen bigger. Anyway, across the road from the viewpoint, we found the World Wide Web, yep, one guy inside this cabin running the whole internet with a Samsung.......

Bill has been riding sweep all day, and we knew something was up....... and it was finally revealed here in La Grande that Bill has now downgraded his Yamaha to be Apple powered.

Never fear, the Great White North Liberation Army will march forward, we ain't askeered of no minutemen hiding behind trees along 212. But methinks we'll be back in Oregon soon, might have to set up camp for lots of recon runs, as it's really hard to see it all.............

Even more disruptive is to open a Tim Hortons. It would be like flies on a cow pie. :D
