The Donner Party and "Making Memories"

   Today, Jessica (the smart one on the trip) left us to return home to OKC.  They let us back into the country (with no strip searches) and we once again entered the beautiful state of Washington, or as I refer to it "that cold, wet, miserable, rainy state of Washington."

Travel tip #1:
   When mountains look like this . . . they are safe to travel in.

The Cascade Mountains are lovely, aren't they?

Travel tip #2:
When mountains look like this . . . you should begin to rethink your plans.

Travel tip #3:
Visibility of less than 50 yards when driving is unsafe.  Adding snow, sleet, rain, and a motorcycle to those conditions is insane.

I was unable to further document the trip down the eastern side of the Cascades, my new Wal-Mart camera was not up to the conditions.

   The readers of this blog will not be able to hear any further details of today's ride.  You will have to seek out one of the other participants in the ride and ask them to tell you the story.
   I will speak of this day no more.  I have put it in the recesses of my mind, never to be brought forth.
