Chinook and Cayuse passes closed for the season on Nov. 12, 2012. It's looking like the long way around might be the only option to go east soon.

The Columbia River Gorge and surrounding destinations offer some great riding on the WA. side pretty much year around with some icy exceptions. :rolleyes:

Keep Going!

Ah common Jim don't let a little snow get in your way - Just Keep Going!

By the way your are the man. Riding 22 hours in October to do a SS1000 mailing 17 post cards along the way, 1/2 in dark and 1/2 in daylight. Congrats.

 
Better jump on the NC as it shows bare and wet for now, Thursday looks safe!
That would be fun. However, Gerlach, NV is in the plan for later in the week. Through the gorge. :yahoo:

Oh, that's right, Thanks Jim. I had almost forgotten that one. Great fun!

That will be an annual happening. I'll send you a postcard from somewhere along the way, unless you want to join the fun. :)

Keep Going!

 
Still have options going south. I hear it's still warmer that direction...for the time being!

Have fun in Gerlach Jim. Avoid the snow and it'll be a fun ride. :)

So, Tom, it appears the new '13s are pretty well rounded. Nice to see Yamaha doing their cold weather testing here in the PNW!

Luckily for us Fontanaman, the Galiuro Pass southeast of Mammoth next to San Manuel was clear and free of snow yesterday! Ha, ha; what the feck is this snow, really!
