Forum CEO HispanicSlammer Posted August 21, 2012 Author Forum CEO Share Posted August 21, 2012 The plan was to stop at the diner in Paonia . . . it really is "The Diner". The jukebox looked to be the real thing. Great food, especially the milkshakes. YUP eaten there a few times over the years, good joint, but sometimes they close early and then you have to go to Crawford to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer dutchinterceptor Posted August 21, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted August 21, 2012 Another video from the ride home - monarch pass with BR, Reddog, Panamawing, and I. Bug smudge on the right hand side. https://contour.com/stories/monarch-pass-ride-home-summer-summit-x2 Nasty looking wreck. I went through there earlier when they only had one lane open. Good thing they went off the inside though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baileyrock Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Thanks to HS I got one last rest for my sore body here just outside Cripple Creek Friday on the way back to the springs. I think he's about to spit on me in this shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choco Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I think you have to let Didit get home and unpack first. I left Tony, Craig and Jeff last night at the Best Western in Monroe, WA. I live in Duvall, 10 miles south of Monroe. I rode down around Mt. Rainier and met Tony, Craig and Jeff in Kelso, just above Portland on Thursday night. We went out for Mexican food and then rode west along the north side of the Columbia river on Friday, then up the coast and angled back to the west side of Hood Canal. We had great, roads, weather and scenery. I sensed some fatigue from the crew after some 5,000 miles of riding day in and day out but we had a nice spirited ride through sweepers and undulating roads most of the day capped off with a short ferry ride. I didn't make it to the meet this year but seeing and riding with my old VFRD riding buddies was a consolation. They all took off from Monroe this morning, Tony has a long ride and was still debating on whether to take the straight and fast Coquihalla to the Okanagon or ride across the North Cascade highway. Jeff and Craig are heading north on Highway 9 from Arlington. Last I saw Jeff he was still studying maps, what else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Belfry Posted August 26, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted August 26, 2012 I promised to contribute a few pictures, so here they are: (And it really is a few since I'm probably VFRD's laziest photographer ...) First day ride on the Million Dollar Highway. FlyingAnt gets a drink standing next to her CBR tucked in amongst the VFRs while the others take photos. Cogswell takes a photo of the rest of us taking photos ... Day 2 ride on the 141. We stopped here after some great twisties with zero traffic and zero road work. Buzzard60 (far right) was not only a great ride leader but as a Montrose resident, a great tour guide too. He explained the history of what we were seeing and found excellent lunch stops both days. Here's what we were looking at: Did I mention the weather was perfect too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer didit Posted August 26, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted August 26, 2012 Okay, loaded some of the images, pictures from cell camera.

Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted September 5, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 5, 2012 On the way home I spent a couple of days in the Nebraska Sand Hills area. Here are some pics of those days: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Willy Posted September 6, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 6, 2012 Maxswell... you apparently like back roads. Me too but some of that looked more dual sport friendly than VFR friendly. Nice to get off the beaten track though I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
