I got to Vancouver and got busy... but here is an update. The motel in Omak was quiet and clean, parking in front of the door and several restaurants within walking distance. I picked a nice Mexican place which was right next door. The motel had a decent hot breakfast, so I ate there then saddled up and headed West on 20. Now 20 is a great road like I said, lots of twisties and sweepers and an old school road with the forest right beside you. I got to Winthrop and parked, and found a fresh cinnamon bun with my name on it.... there where quite a few HD’s parked where I was, many from Alberta... I chatted with that crew a bit further down the road... then I headed up and over the Pass, what a beautiful road and view... it’s bucket list material.... got down the west side, stopped for fuel and coffee and a route home... up to Bellingham and straight North to Aldegrove, onto the Freeway and into West Vancouver.

Some pictures.....

 

Just South of Omak, and turning West on 20... this gets nice and twisty....


.... downtown Winthrop, lots of Motorcycles and food...


... eat one...


... West of Winthrop and heading into the Mountains

 

Winthrop is one of my favorite places to visit. I have on occasion ridden over the pass just to eat at Carlos 1800 Mexican Grill. Looks like you had good weather.

 

Looking up towards the pass...


... up at the lookout.... looking back East....


... beautiful big sweepers...up...


... and down

 

There is a nice rest area on the West side heading down that has a great view...


... some fellow travellers from Edmonton heading to Port Angelis, and then over the ferry to Victoria...


... looking North from a pull out... That’s Canada in the distance.

 

It sprinkled off and on for both days but mostly decent. It was a good two days.

 

I will be here for a week, then back to Cranny.... route unknown... but the last time I headed north I forgot to head East at 100 Mile House and ended up in Alaska....

 

That Alaska line kinda reminds me of Bugs Bunny. Maybe you should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque...

 

Well, I am a bit crazy, and listen to music when I ride .... so not that far off of Luney Toons..

 

Heavy.. and heading to Blue Water.
