    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Riding to Vegas for a wedding!

Mount Vernon? You must feel like you're almost home! If you take 395 to Pendleton, Henry and I can tell you it can be mighty cool in the mornings there... -3 for us when we left John Day last year after the rally.:cold: Swing on by on the way home, we'll put out an extra dinner plate for you tomorrow. ;)

I remember.... But you also don't have a ferry to contend with...:)
 
Let me know if you want to crash at the bobgroger mansion. It is slightly better than the view from your room, but only slightly. And you'll have to drink American beer.

I'm actually enjoying a steak dinner as we speak in mount Vernon... Back to back mt vernons...lol
 
That's an American ferry Bob, the Canadian ferry's don't tend to do that too much.
 
The Canadian ferries are much nicer than ours, they have doors at the front that close. And decent food.
 
Left Mount Vernon around 8:30 this morning....taking 26 to 19....19... What a road! I have been on it a few times now. It takes you all the way to Condon, about 190kms of twisty, good pavement, empty road. It travels along the john day river...canyon views etc...beautiful way to start my morning...f on there I took 206 turning into 97... Great roads, lots of windmills..like thousands! Then I took the canyon road into Ellensburg..another great road that I have travelled a few times. Crazy windy through there...and on to Leavenworth... Then an hour later I was in Goldbar over Stevens Pass....114 Kms in an hour..lol....no traffic...then. I headed to mount Vernon wa. Yes I'm staying back to back in mount vernon's...lol
Total 780kms today....got rained on for the last 20min today..cold too.
What a trip!
Oh yeah in all my trip I never got passed by one vehicle...not one!

Ride safe!

Thanks Jedz,
i left my house Sunday May 8th. Caught the 1030 ferry to port Angeles and arrived in Vegas Wednesday night.
then golfed on Thursday wedding Saturday and left Sunday to come home.
im now on the a Anacortes ferry for Sidney, 2 hours, which is 15min from my house.
So total travel days were 7. Not sure of my mileage yet but it should be around 5000kms.
so I leave my hotel this morning for a 30min ride to the ferry in the pouring rain. I'm riding along about more than halfway there on the interstate 5 when I can't figure out why I'm having such a hard time seeing??? Then I realize I forgot my eyeglasses in my hotel...lol. I wanted to put them on last because I didn't want to get them wet while I packed up the bike in the rain.
yes, that's two pair of glasses I have lost on the trip. Luckily my wife brought two pair with her. Lol... My wife will be impressed. :)
fitting way to end the trip.
tganks for following along guys.
And finally guys.... If you want to do a cross country trip...do it! Life is way to short. Do it while you can.
Looking forward to getting on an old Gs when I get home.
i may even have a new one (Gs)in the garage soon. Stay tuned. :)

What no photos of that? ;) Just caught on to this thread Trev. Glad you could see what a lot of the US is really and not all the BS that comes out of our fingers on keyboards.

That is along the John Day river in eastern Oregon. I recognize some of the other places as well. Going to do it again in 3 weeks. We still have rooms available if anyone wants to join us! You can literally go an hour without seeing another vehicle on AWESOME roads.
