Fun road to ride in Arkansas

My buddy Gord and I had a spirited ride today

While we were taking advantage of the photo op, some friends from the rally showed up.

After the Pig Trail, we rode Mt. Magazine

My bad memory at times has me calling it Medical, Mechanic, Medicine mountain, but it is actually what the sign calls it that is correct........I think.

A nice view over the valley below from the highest mountain in Arkansas.




We tried to eat here yesterday, but it would have been an hour and a half wait just to get a table and maybe another hour for the food.

We moved on to this joint.

Gord had been riding hot all day, but when I took this shot he had reigned it in so I didn't get a shot of the lean angle I was hoping for.

Skid is officially old now................sadly still four years younger than me.


A nice low carb breakfast for under $9

Brandon and Dave, I didn't know!!!

John and Sandy, first time to a VROC rally

Sherm being Sherm!

Something for Stewey

Some years the rivers are flowing large, this year not so much

People are starting to show up a day or two early


Yard Art next door



Freya, very proud of her green tongue. It is a Kawasaki rally after all.

Al, trying to levitate Jims beer away from him.

One things for sure, he isn't washing that bike.

Gathered at Sparky's for the evening meal.



Sheila is trying to chase down her stolen Can-Am

All problems being solved



Scott and Margot

Randy's new ride

He was the only guy with a bike designed for this and he rode around it. Go figure

You can't expect us to stay focused all of the time!




What happened to the shark liver oil suppositories we used to get at the pharmacy?

Turned 15K in Glens Ferry Idaho

Had to take the pick while I was loafing along

Cheryl, made me think of you. I think you may have actually taken a picture of this on your last trip out here.

I was a little disappointed in Twin Falls Idaho

A little better


More like it

While I was going down, he was coming up.

Tough little guy, made it all the way by himself!

Without the people blocking the vie









When they built this dam, they did a great job of protecting the beauty of the falls

A very nice powerhouse too!

I took a pic of a Jap, he took a pic of a kraut. :)

The leaves are changing at the higher elevation in Utah

Makes for a beautiful ride


Hey Rocky, just checking to see if your following this thing

Sunday morning the 9th of Sept. I'm the first one here.

I watched them raise Old Glory. I stood!

It was more interesting than I thought it would be

I was the only passenger on the first trip of the day.

Several unique formations along the way to the dig

Yep, it was just me and the driver

Nice view of the Green River 

The building was built on the side of the hill protecting the dig site.

One of two Rangers on Site

These are models of the dinosaurs found at this site

It is surprising how complete some of them are










Leg bone connected to the ..........

I guess it was this guys leg bone


Some of them you are allowed to touch, I'm proving that

This is the actual fossilized skull of the guy in the picture below


This is a casting of the skull above

And the artist rendition of what he might have looked like


Read the article above

They are promoting down pointing lights to limit light pollution of our skies

nice color in them thar hills



As I got on the train, this gal got off, she has some long hair!







The train driver disobeys this sign every fifteen minutes

An electric government vehicle


Even the hills look like the ridged back of a dinosaur


I got to visit some great VROC friends in Silt, CO. We rode to this restaurant in his new Jeep that has ten times the buttons of my new Wing

Riding through the Colorado River Canyon on I-70, these pictures don't begin to capture the beauty.








First glimpse of the Rockies, the landscape will be boring once I cross over.
