What a week! Got to see my ride on the front page and now we've expanded to include all the northwest - good times are coming

And you can bet me a buck I'll be trying to get over your way sometime in the near future! I already found a trailer hitch for my '94 Geo. If I can find one of those inexpensive utility trailers or a kit I'll be set for some "other side of the mountains" fun

(Insert chuckles or bust a gut laughter here... envision XRR on a mini trailer, towed by a old Geo Metro)

ha griz, will be in your country in june sometime for one of my neices graduation. have to choufer my brother from alaska an my mother to kalispell. an after 8 hours in the trk with those 2 i'll be needin somethin to calm my nerves. maybe i'll throw my 650 in an we can go for a ride?

I'd like to get over that direction some time as well, very cool country

So many cool places to ride.........so little time

Hodakaguy - Looking forward to meeting folks in person, keep it in mind and I'll keep a pile of firewood out by the fire pit

I just want to come over and drink your beer. Luggage?? Did I miss a photo?

My new budget doesn't allow for beer unless its a special occasion. I suppose if you come down from your hilltop compound and actually allow yourself to go north of West Reserve Road, now that would be a special occasion! LOL

Wait a minute! For a guy who has his own brewery, you sure seem interested in other people's beer!

(end transmission)

Your always welcome to get even, and we usually have fun running about in my neck of the woods.
As for the brewery it closed early this winter (early cold snap Burst plumbing) and I did not have all my kegs filled(already out at the house).
As you know I have always been a bit of a beer (for complete lack of a fully descriptive word) consumer I like to plan my visiting around cold beer (some people my think bad of me for this but it is just one of the cross,s I bear) in short I will let you know when I'm coming and bring it if necessary.
Spring is going to come early (gopher knows nothing)this year. Elneanyo (not clear on spealing) IN THE NORTH USUALLY means early spring. Light snow pack mild temps,less precipitation. Warmer less snow means we ride earlier than most years in theory (I oiled my chain yesterday on the KLR, and am planning another ATV ride for next weekend this in it self is a good omen) and I have the farmers almanac on my side, also and far more reliable than that fuzzy Caterpillar thing I am craving beer earlier in the week and time of day.
Early spring guys get ready for it.

Oh man!

Thanks for the great laugh and I am Seriously hoping you are right about the early spring. I already have my favorite water features picked out if it gets hot this summer.

So you'll have to let me know who these folks are that have bikes from the shop. I think you said I know them but I'm confuzzled. I guess I need to go through the pile of sticky notes with numbers I used to have in my wallet.

Ironically, my favorite camping place/fishing place/hunting place has added a camp host during the summer (for a campground with only 4 camping spots and one shitter that we usually clean ourselves anyway - Grrrrrrr!!!!!).

What the heck does this have in common with my rant? It was big Dan from STI, he and his wife knew somebody who knew somebody and got a gig doing camp host at a location northwest of Stillwater. It was great to see him but I fear the new found popularity of the campground and ony 3 campsites has ruined my spot. I would have much rather seen him camping up there instead of taking up a camp spot for the whole summer under a position of authority. It also puts the kabosh on my plans to use the spot as a overnight spot on motorcycle trips.

Anyway, I know you wanted to get up into the Whitefish Range, let's see if we can make that happen as soon as the North Fork Rd. defrosts.

My bike is ready to roll and I'd be happy to feed you beer
