WFO was a blast. The organizers Hal, Iggy and everyone else deserve a huge Thank You. :clapping:

I took off Friday the 16th with no real plans or directions in mind.

Day 1 took me up thru Fresno and 41/49 thru Angels Camp and Ebbet’s pass.

Day 3 I made it to Portland

Don’t know if you can see this picture but I stopped on a roadside scale in Oregon and weighed in at 950 pounds. I had a full tank and a full load of gear.

Days 6, 7 , and 8 was WFO fun

Friday’s man ride. I only kept up with Fairlaner and FJRonamision for about 30 miles. I had a better view from far back anyway.

Remind me why I don't live out there.... We do have some great roads here in the east (NC, GA, TN, etc.) but the scenery just isn't the same. Thanks for the photos.

 
Excellent! You put some miles on.. and the 950 total weight is somewhat eye-opening. That's alot of mass to slow and accelerate. You must pack like Ms. dCarver! :rolleyes:

 
Looks like it was an excellent trip...

I see petey with his dayglo gear in the "man's ride" picture...did he tail along with John and Richard?

Yes we tried to keep up for as long as possible. By the time we hit the 3 Fairlaner was gone and we missed the turn to the lunch stop. I ended up finishing the ride with Petey and John from Texas.

Great pictures and a well done report. The ride to the lost coast was something, right?
It was very nice. A total opposite ride from the one I had on Friday :D

It was nice meeting you and your wife.

 
Great to have met you on 96 Dan! Great pics, too. Judy loves the wrapter, and I've become somewhat expert in getting it secured on her ponytail after she gets it started.

. . . and the 950 total weight . . . . You must pack like Ms. dCarver!
Get out, Don! I'll raise you 4 pairs of feminine footwear and 2 curling irons. :p :rolleyes:
