I had to go out to my bike to retrieve my phone and these fellows were milling around waiting for the 6:30 bus.

I ordered this on my buddy Sherms recommendation

Mike and Dave were filling up too.

Mike thinks she's grumpy, I thought she was pretty smart.

Mark just had to go see what was behind this pile of gravel. It took me awhile to figure out what for. 

This is the rest of us patiently waiting for Mark.

Taking a break at Lida Summit

Another glorious day to be on the bikes.

I think this is the most snow I've seen in all of the years I've been coming up here.

Can anyone tell me where all of the glare is coming from?

I'm sure California is thankful for all of the snowpack this year.

It never got old riding with this view today.




Stopping in Lone Pine for lunch with the tallest mountain in the lower 48 right next to us.

It's the one that is the farthest away

This is a picture of just it's peak at 14,550'

Mark wanted a picture of the bikes and us all in one picture with the Death Valley sign

Then a few different variations



From left to right, Mike, Mark, Gregg, Dave, Raoul and Amanda


The military jets used to train in this canyon

Unfortunately for me, they curtailed the practice before I was able to witness it.

Yesterday, I was photographing Telescope Peak from the other side.

Finally Gregg is showing signs of HELMET hair!

Someone was telling me they loved spandex, me, not so much!

This old plane is parked near where we put Old Guys Wing back together so he could ride it home

Sadly, the occupants have aged a bit


Hey Mark, one more try, I think it will kick over. Actually, I was surprised the old Continental engine would still turn over.

Some of the group not spending money at Stove Pipe Wells

This old caboose was used as a gasoline filling station here in Rhyolite back in the day 

Rhyolite is our last stop on this years trip.

The old train station that eventually became a Casino

Someone left the gate open so we took advantage to view things a little closer than we usually do

Maybe Raoul and Amanda are thinking about a second honeymoon here

Yep, that's it!

No such thoughts here!!!!!!!!!!!!!  lol

Mike and I are settling for half of a subway sandwich for our dinner this evening.
Well, That's All Folks (at least for now)

Mike and I headed out today for Rockies Gold and decided to visit Kolob Canyon on the way to meet some friends in Cedar City, UT. It's a beautiful canyon....... .......when you get to see more than just a mile and a half of it. Unfortunately the road was completely washed out from recent rains. On arrival everyone started catching up with each other, or was that text messages? The next day we all headed up to Cedar Breaks. Rocky and I were in sport mode. :) These signs make me breathe harder for some reason. The crew is taking in the sight from the viewing platform. Some for the first time. What a view it is I guess this is a true Rocky Mtn. High! Moving east from The Cedar Breaks we are riding through Red Rock Canyon near the entrance to Bryce Canyon It doesn't take long to pass it so take your pictures fast. These next few are of the guys on the HogBack but I totally failed to capture what is taking place. You can't see it but there is little shoulder on each side of the

May 23 and leaving on my summer ride. Riding north on Hwy 60 and I see that the old building in Morristown has been turned into a bar and is now open. Ever since the heavy rains this past winter, Hwy 60 has been full of potholes. Today they have finally been repaired properly. I arrived at Sherm and Pat's this afternoon after a very warm ride of 100 degree temps plus It's been awhile since I have eaten at Rutherfords in Kingman and I was having a hankering for them. Sherm humored me while satisfying his own Hankering Most of these route 66 diners have been around for a long time. One of the members of Sherm's scooter club. May 24th. I've ridden up to Las Vegas to attend the graduation ceremonies of one of my family members. Ahead of the ceremonies we all gathered for lunch here at Lindo Michoacan Mexican Restaurant. Having arrived a little early, I was looking over the view of Vegas from the parking lot. Just think, people travel from all over the world just to donate t

6-9-20 A new chapter for the blog begins today. I wasn't expecting to ride through Missoula on this trip and had already told Brian and Lady that I didn't think I would see them this year. However when I left Marty and Gayle's he said I should ride through Missoula on my way to Whitefish. Stopping for gas, I gave them and call and invited them to lunch. While enjoying the meal, the rain started and they invited me to stay at their place. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! So far it has been a cool summer. Normally you would see countless numbers of young people swimming and sun bathing along these shores. This is the first time I've ridden up the east side of Flathead Lake It almost looks like looking over the ocean at times. No matter how you look at it, it's a big lake A lot of private docks on this side of the lake. Just sitting by the dock of the bay, wasting time.............. Likewise Time for my one meal, make it a good one. I had to look twice Still thought
