    North Cascades Open

    Just saw this on Channel 4. The North Cascades Highway is open. Crews had to remove up to 45 feet of snow in some places according to report. All the rain helped this year. Temperatures next week could reach the high 70's but that is pretty far out for an accurate forecast. I'll be happy...

    Maryhill Museum of Art

    Starting planing for a late June to mid-July mid-week ride to the museum at Maryhill and looking for places to eat in the area. Preferably on Hwy 97 heading back north, well before Yakima. Any recent experiences? Planning on a couple of hours at the museum, can stop at Stonehenge on the way back.

    Couldn't Stand It

    The sunshine and 44 degree temperature convinced me to give in this afternoon and ride out to North Bend and back. Short 1 hour ride but it sure felt good after not riding the past several weeks. Battery wouldn't spin the motor fast enough to start so I had to use a booster battery. Time to...
