1st overnight trip

So 4 others and I took a trip from wenatchee to Concunully and then back. Our trip started out meeting at the top of Badger mountain. We road from there through the farm fields making stops at one of the guys farms (Nelson Farms). The best farm I have ever seen. The wheat was as green as ever. We then headed towards Brewster and had lunch. From there we headed up Indian Dan canyon. From there we went all the way to hwy 20 and up over loop loop I think. I got confused many times on were we were at exactly. From there it was a great ride into Concunully. We camped at the state park and had a few brews. The next morning we road down to Omak for breakfast. Then off to Coulee Dam. We took the tour and had lunch in town. After that we came back to the waterville area via some routes I have never been on before, I will try and post GPS routes. I did not take alot of pics the second day. All and all it was the funest bike trip to date. Only had one accident and no one got hurt. The trip ended up being about 350 miles round trip. This will not be the last time we do this.

Here are some pics.


The bike all loaded up.

This computer is being slow, I will come back and finish when My PC wants to work right,

More to come !

Ok, lets try it again.

Just a crop duster, we watched him do some laps.



here is the only accident we had. speed was approx 30 mph and a sharp turn. The result was a bike up side down in a pile of chest high brush, The ridder had scrapes on his back and the bike only sufferd a broken insterment cluster and a bent panner rack wich was easly bent back. He was very luck. He went over the bars and the bike went over him. Was scary at first, but when bike and ridder was ok, we all had a good laugh.





the rest are just some randome pics






Here is the camp site at the state park, I bought this cool 2 man tent and never put it up until I got there, I found out it was a kids tent. Can you pick it out, yea it was a tight fit but i made it work.



OK computer is at it again, It quits up loading pics. Will be back again tomorrow to finish it up I hope.

Cool little trip. I think I passed you on my way to work friday AM? I was on the BMW heading north on 97/2 out of Wenatchee.

You must have had to curl up like a dog to fit in that tent!

Bwahahahaha....awesome!!!

This is the upper lake









stoped by Omak Lake, what a cool lake, the water was clear as can be.






One of our last stops was the Dam, we took the tour. We got to go to the top and look straight down. What a cool view !











This was our last stop as a group, at Badger on the Waterville side.



We all had a good time. It was a great 2 days in the sun. The weather was perfect and I got to see a lot of places I never have seen. We are planning on doing it again. First on my list of stuff to buy is a new tent, then some kind of panner system for more cargo.

hmmm. those pics look a little like my home riding turf.

Nice shots!

You guys rode right through my grandpas ranch. It's the land on the north and south of the highway right before omak lake.

That lake and area is pretty cool. Not alot of trees but the landscape is intresting. Diffrent then all the trees we have to ride in. You missed a fun ride kattoom. ( the beer in concunully was COLD)

Oh trust me, I know. I've drank plenty of beer at both the sit n bull and the tamarack.

Wow, what a cool trip.

Gots me thinking... , oops, I mean thinking...


So, all DR's, KLR's, and XR"s? I'm guessing you had 30-40 lbs of gear packed away? How was it riding with gear on the bike? (The only bike I ever loaded with gear was a 635lb inline 6 cyl CBX)

Gear weight wasnt to bad, just made the bike seem a little top heavy. Couldnt charge into corners as well but for the ridding we did, no problems.

Thats my geto cutting board rack I made, I should post pics. It worked realy well.

Nice pictures, i would love to go ride that area
