To Wyoming or Bust!

[Tyler]

So it's about a week before we head out for our Big Adventure to Powell, WY, where my friend Dorothy has a summer/retirement home (it's also her home town and will be celebrating its 100-year anniversary which we will be attending the weekend of June 27/28 before heading back. The bike had its checkup last weekend, tires are good, farkles added (Vista Cruise, Givi top case, MotoFizz touring bag), and mental state is defintely READY!!!

We meet up with my friend from the UK, Sally, in SF on Saturday afternoon to get her rental bike and then we are off! Anyway, here is our itinerary for the trip out:

Saturday, June 20 SF to Fort Bragg, CA – 101 to 128 or 20

Sunday, June 21 Fort Bragg to Redding, CA – 299 or 36

Monday, June 22 Redding to Klamath Falls, OR – Lassen/Burney Falls

Tuesday, June 23 KF to Prairie City, OR – FR 14/16, Strawberry Mtns.

Wednesday, June 24 PC to Boise, ID – Craters of the Moon

Thursday, June 25 Boise to Driggs, ID – Grand Tetons

Friday, June 26 Driggs to Powell, WY – through Yellowstone briefly

Sat/Sun, June 27-28 Day rides in area – Beartooth, Chief Joseph, etc.

Our trip back is still in the works and will be dependent up on weather conditions through Oregon and such but the general idea is here. If anyone is around these areas (rAK!) and would like to hook up for dinner or a bit of the ride, PM me and we'll see if we can't figure out a way to make that happen! :yahoo:

Can you handle those long days in the saddle?

J/K!!!! Lots of photo opportunities, etc.

Hmmmm, we're going to be a few days ahead of you @ Beartooth, Chief Joseph, Yellowstone, etc. (Beartooth & Chief Joseph on June 23, Yellowstone-Grand Tetons to Jackson WY on June 24)

A few of us stopped at Craters a couple of years ago. What a different place, I hope you like it, too.

Bust?? What, I'm the alternative? Ya might just wanna give me wife a bit 'o' warning eh?

Have a safe and fun trip lady.

:jester:

 

[FuzzyRider]

Tyler, have a great time - that's some beautiful parts of the country. I was up in Yellowstone a couple years ago and was disappointed I didn't get the chance to ride Beartooth. Be sure and take lots of pictures so I can see what I missed.

Do you have a mascot to ride with you? If not you might be able to talk to Ray...

 

[FJRBluesman]

Awesome Tyler! Ride safe and enjoy.

Bust?? What, I'm the alternative? Ya might just wanna give me wife a bit 'o' warning eh? :jester:

Bust - You're not an alternative, you're a consequence.

Driggs ????? Why would anyone spend a night in Driggs.

My sister used to live next door in Victor (the Naughty Pine is good watering hole). There's a Patagonia outlet store in Driggs. Not a whole lot more though :lol: Don't let the scoops get to ya.

Sounds like a great trip. Enjoy yourself.

 

[Tyler]

Driggs ????? Why would anyone spend a night in Driggs.

Probably cause it's a place that no one would go! :lol: Supposedly has good views of the Tetons? Plus the idea is to stay at out of the way places, not the big cities, to experience small places and towns and funky restaurants and such... hey, it's got a Best Western too, ya know!

Have a great trip Tyler! :clapping:

Ooo, I don't know if widdle ole girlie me can handle such a big trippy trip like this...

Yes...welllll....I was thinking more along:

Saturday, June 20 SF to Fort Bragg, CA – 101 to 128 or 20 (170 miles????)

Sunday, June 21 Fort Bragg to Redding, CA – 299 or 36 (1-36-3-299=245 miles of :yahoo: .)

Monday, June 22 Redding to Klamath Falls, OR – Lassen/Burney Falls This will be a fun day (near 300 miles) but lots of twists and turns and stopping in Lassen and at Burney

Besides....I was just "bustin' yer chops" because you need it.

Well, originally we were gonna slab it from the Bay Area to Klamath Falls in one day but circumstances have changed so we can leave earlier and take our time up to KF... and I don't need no bustin' of nuthin... but I'm thinkin' someone else does...

Great trip Tyler. Maybe we can connect up for a cuppa when you are in Yellowstone.

Looking at your homeward route, you can cut south from Twin Bridges to Dillon and then over through Bannack (an early Montana capital) and then through Wisdom to rte 93 and down to the Lolo. Of course that would cause to miss out on Butte, America, which has its own charm, if you like superfund sites

Cheers,

No worries, 'things' WILL be taken care of in Nakusp... :evilsmiley:

 

[Old Michael]

Sounds great.

Have a fun trip Tyler.

In the past 12 months I have been to about everywhhere you mentioned except CA36, which is on my bucket list. Good riding and hope you have a great time. Be flexible and follow your nose if a road looks good. It will be a treat! Ride Beartooth earlier in the day, the light fades fast and it is not as much fun in the dark.

Enjoy! :clapping:

 

[user 213]

Wow, you party HARD! :dribble:

Ride safe, and watch out for the OSP. They like their radar traps.

If anyone is around these areas (rAK!) and would like to hook up <snip>

I love how the younger generation still uses terms like "hook up". <_<
