Awesome pics and trip! I live in Roseburg, OR, and have done the Crater Lake loop a lot. I hope if you ate at Becky's you got good service. They tend to be a little cranky. Did you ride 138 from Crater Lake?

ZZ - great fotos! You even had my 'Remove before flight' bike in there.

Now that I look back on it, I met an aweful lot of folks at WF05. Then again, even more I didin't. Sorry I didn't have a chance to meet you.

Don't think we did the 138, we just looped it on 62 around Crater lake and back to Medford. It was one of the highlights of the trip, and told my friend I felt like a flee in a plush carpet riding thru this forest.
