Geez Rocky I thought that was you. I was heading back to the Island from Radium on Sunday on #3 and passed you near Grand Forks. I wish I'd known you were on the road. Could have met you for lunch or third breakfast.
Next time

That’s funny… Too bad we didn’t know…

It’s been really nice to be able to get on the motorcycle first thing at the motel… Ride it over for coffee… And ride to work… Living on the motorcycle, I missed that…



Out for afternoon coffee in downtown Cranny…

" And ride to work… Living on the motorcycle, I missed that…"
Last year I worked the truck would be parked in the yard for 2 or 3 weeks at a time.

A quiet day today… Went out for coffee… Went to work for a bit, so I can clean the bike… Back in the motel watching a baseball game… But tomorrow, go for a ride… I will do my Sunday loop… I will run it clockwise and stop at -D-… which is the bull River in, for my obligatory cheeseburger…

I made this map on my iPhone using Google maps… just telling it where the next destination was… I will try and include more maps on destination rides using this method…

… it’s about two hours of riding… But I’ll spend four hours doing it… Stop for coffee in Kimberly, and again in Fort Steele…I won’t get up here on the bike again this year, so I will do my SundayRounder up against The Rocky Mountains… Next Saturday I ride back to the coast, stay a week … And drive my car back up for October… I have a bunch of work to do up here this fall.

It was a real good ride today… Started off quite cool, and I never had my electric vest with me… So first coffee was about 20 miles off the road… I took some pictures…



Just a bit north of Kimberly Looking towards Skokumchuck…


… At the Fort Steele turn off heading towards Bull River… With Fisher peak in the background…


… Heading south towards Bull River… There use to be a lot of gold in this Creek…


… At Pekams lake… With the Steeples Range in the background…


… Another picture of the same place…


… A little further down the road… That’s bull Mountain…

At the Bull River Inn… I had a steak sandwich… It was nice to eat real food as opposed to the fast food that I’ve been chowing down on since I got up to Cranbrook… Because I couldn’t get a kitchenette in the motel…


… After lunch I continued heading south down towards the highway… This picture is looking north towards Kimberly…


… Same spot… Looking south…


… Another picture of Bull Mountain from across the river…


… I don’t often post pictures of the mileage on the bike… But I noticed this was coming up a few miles before… So I thought I would stop and take a picture of the interesting number combination…


… This is the spot where I got that mileage.

Nice to see that you got out on the bike. Great shots as usual. I'm gonna go for a ride as soon as I recover from my week of bouncing around in my Jeep.
