West Fest 08, 2 weeks on the bike thru 7 national parks too! : The Annual summer bike trip, this year taking us through 7 national parks, and 7 states in 14 days! The national parks seen include- Death Valley, Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches, Grand Canyon- North Rim, and Yosemite. We also visited the 4 corners, and took our bikes over  Engineer Pass from Ouray to Lake City, CO which took us to West Fest 08 :)

Many of the photos here are from "adventurecam" which means lots of photos of what I saw from the highway... (sorry for the abundance of redundant photos!) Many of the "good" photos are mixed in... all in chronological order, so you can see the landscape change as I travel.

Snow Camp 09 : When it snows, or it's icy outside, why does the fun have to stop? it doesn't! Those of us who are true riders, and natives to the northwest, fear no cold, ice and snow when it comes to having a good time! Snow-Camp, put on by the BMW riders and ADVrider motorcycle groups! Most of us ride our 2 and 3 wheeled motorcycles to this event, no matter what it takes to get the bikes to and from the camp!

Memorial Day Weekend 08 : Second Annual Noah-n-Austin Memorial Day weekend ride-round-for-3-days ride!
This time our trip took us up over I-90 to E-Burg, where we picked up Noah's Girlfriend Katie- and we ended up sleeping there for the night (so guess who gets the couch :P ) The next day took us down Hwy 97 to Hwy 14 along the Columbia River on the WA side. We headed to Canon Beach, Seaside and Astoria OR for the second full day (after camping on a FS road "Music Rd" in OR) and up to Long Beach for some beach riding!! the final night was spent at Cape Disappointment State Park campground. Monday, Noah and I parted ways, and I headed back home along 101, he took Katie back to the town of E-burg.

This was also the first multi-day trip taken on the KLX250, which.. is not a good freeway bike! however, it is wonderful in the dirt and sand, even fully loaded- and it also gets an average of 66mpg during long freeway hauls :)

Motorcycle Solo Photo-trip 7/29-7/30 2006 : On the weekend of July 29th, and the 30th I took a trip by myself around the Cascade loop highway scenic route, but I extended the "loop" to include the Grand Coulee Dam... this was also just another shakedown for longer trips, testing the new equipment, (different gearing on the bike, and a new, smaller tent from REI) the gearing and the tent were a nice addition to the travel accessories- 56mpg for the bike even fully loaded doing 60 to 70mph average and with multiple mountain passes. This was also another photography trip, so some of my attempts at getting higher quality "artist" style pictures are in here as well.. (learning how to use more of the cameras functions)

Motorcycle Adventure June 2006 : 4390 miles, from Minneapolis, MN to Pheonix, AZ, and up the coast to Seattle, WA
I lived in MN for one year.. long story, those who know me, you know why... but anyways, this trip was for 2 main reasons (1, to get the bike home, and 2 was just because I wanted to take a nice long trip, and to do it on my motorcycle made it that much better!)
11.5 days, 10 states, 4390 miles and temps from 42º to 116ºF rain, dust, sun and wind. Desert, mountains, plains, canyons, coastline, forests. The discovery of why the interstate is not your friend. (The little highways are so much better!) My friend RIck, I met at work in MN, wanted to do a similar trip, so I told him about mine and he got the time off for it and came along.. there was a couple who rode that I met online and at the local bike hang out (Marty and Jill) and they had a trip planned the same weekend going the same way, just not as far as us, so we joined up for that part of the trip. Bill (on the R1) was another friend from work, and he decided he could come as far as one day would take him ( the Badlands) and then he would head back home the next day so he could be at work on Monday.) The trip went well for all- nobody got hurt, and we all had a good time, and found many places that will need more than another visit!
