The route.

After two incredibly nice days in LaPine it was time to amble on.

First, I saw this chock in action and want to get one. So I took some pix of it.

Condor.

Even USA made.

I took Ray and Patti out for breakfast at the Harvest Depot. My standing arrangement is if I stay at your house I  buy food!

Ray and Patti leaving in the 55 Ford. He just put these rims and tires on... I like the stock ones better. Ray says these don't drive too well, so the stockers are probably going right back on.

The road goes on forever and the party never ends..

31 South. A good road. One not ridden yet.

Deschutes forest.. Ray's house backs up to it.

KrZy8 running Gr8!

Sure beats being at work!

High desert.. Me likee.

Me not so much likee road construction. Stinky.

You can't sense smell from a RR..

Farmland. Apparently water isn't a problem here.

Small town life = simple life = good life. 

For my bud RenoJohn and the Big Money Ralley? 

Hi Honey, I bought us a house today. It's a fixer-upper. Hope you like it!

Sure, it needs a little work..

Like this church, being remodeled.
