Inland NW ride report and photos

I've posted some photos and descriptions of a recent ride (WA,OR, ID, MT and BC) on my website. I hope it inspires someone to set aside a couple extra days or venture over that more distant mountain range:

Hope you enjoy!

+1, It's raining like no tomorrow here on the North Shore of Boston, sometimes I feel like I'm in the PNW. You have taken some awesome photos Mike, thanks for sharing...I needed that!

Great photos. I am glad your pet chipmunk is still traveling with you to take those ground level shots. Hwy. 261 north of Lyons Ferry is my most favorite road in the state.

Mike,
Your posts, photos and tech stuff are always a great read! Thanks for the pictures! I live just down the road from you in Vancouver, WA. I plan on doing some of those roads this summer myself!

Thanks for all the comments! The pleasure was mine.


Don - Your home town of Vancouver, WA is only 330 delicious miles from Joseph, Oregon where Ducati Sport-touring owners will be gathering this June (only 5 1/2 more weeks). I think you and your wife had better show up on your matching ST's! If my memory is not failing me I would say that will be a first (a couple showing up, each on their own Ducati ST).

Better yet, there is a 440 mile route to the gathering that is twice as delicious!
