Jesu Cristo ese, do the pinche cabron Zonies have to do all of the heavy lifting around this fecking flophouse! JSNS, Caramba!

Cass Scenic Railroad - As mentioned in my other post, we got lucky and caught the train rolling in from its last tour of the day.

Don, that's a nice layout.

I've always been a model RR nut,

Especially love the steamers.

This photo is posted with the kind permission of clocklaw: Gerald V. posted this over at FJRiders and it absolutely must be shared with the FJR Forumites:

My first attempt......

Many thanks for my new screensaver Gerald, it replaced the photo of Bustanut joker showing his bare ass to the FJR Crowd at CFR in Quebec CA eh!

Now when Miss Donna gets pissed at me for fucking up, I lift the lid on my Apple MacBook and say: "But Honey, I'm not as messed up as El Toro Joe"!

I tried to tell everybody to stay away from the moonshine. I was unsuccessful. I tasted it myself. That shine was pretty good. At least I didn't do the Michael Jackson moon walk. El Toro Joe must've been a hell of a dancer back in the day. Fun Times!!

Here are a few pixs of the trip, it was a challenge because of the heavy clouds, rain and the need to hold on for dear life on some of the roads like Rt 220 and Rt 60 to the Gauley Bridge.

This is the last time on the trip that we see cities and bright sun.

Conflicted messages, I find some to be mutually exclusive.

Old timers getting great gas mileage!

Nice apple basket.

This area works for a living and feeds a lot of people.

There were lots of working markets along Rt 33.

Stilted barns.

Hmmmm, don't be that guy.

The horizon line in this picture is probably correct.

We saw lots of these.

U-turns legal.

Nice gas prices here!

The bath house for Jefferson Pools in Warm Springs, VA. Warm water bubbles up into the house and leaves via a little waterfall.

At the Gauley Bridge after a very fine ride down Rt 60.

Everyone has at least one of these pictures. The clouds made it a dark day for picture taking.

The New River that the New River Bridge crosses, the picture doesn't show just how far down that river is (more than 800 feet).

A group of EOM riders with Tyler's yellow spider outstanding on the bridge.

Out of all the places we ate, this cafe in Oak Hills was notably good.

Ionbeam boring FJRPittsburgh and Rushes who are politely trying not to yawn.

Burnspot and luvtoride Heidi.

Chris the Axman's Marine shirt from his son's battalion talking with Mr Bill and Geezer.

Tyler and Steve having a good time.

The asphalt junkies Paul and Gina.

More truck wisdom.

Coming back into New England.

Ionbeam, that was us on that original bridge at the bottom. That's were we stopped for a photo op. That's Tyler's Spyder. Holy Cow you must've had a killer zoom on that camera.

 

[El Toro Joe]

Nice pictures of our Saturday group, on the bridge.

 

[FJRPittsburgh]

Nice shots Alan. I'm surprised you had so many pictures with such a short commute from New England to EOM and back.

We knew it wuz you. I had one opportunity for a great picture with just Tyler alone with her spider on the bridge but managed to blur it beyond recovery :-(

You have never seen how our rolling picture machine works, these were culled from hundreds of pictures Figure about 10 pictures per mile during a 2,000 mile trip....

I almost took a picture at EOM, but I couldn't figure out how to get my phone out of my pocket.

Probably for the best as I would've looked like a chicken with its head cut off... I had hopped off the bike to try and get a photo of the bridge and river but then the group took off and there was a car coming up behind me on the other end of the bridge... so I had to abort the photo opp, hop on the bike, and get going!

And yeah, I know about the number of photos... I had a ton as well but culled it down to "just" 400 or so... :lol: Will get my ride report started next week... B)

 

[Geezer]

Mr. and Mrs. Beam, great pictures. I have wanted to take a picture of that squiggly section of Rt 60 dropping down to Gauley Bridge but can never bring myself to stop and take the picture while enjoying that road. Now I have a copy of yours. Thank you.

Wow those are some great pictures from EOM being posted here. Looks like everyone, even El Toro Joe, had a great time.

Might just somehow have to make time for next years EOM to hang out, ride and see what all the fuss is about!

EOM ranks right up there with the CFR's, after partying with the Canucks I sold my television; after a weekend with El Toro Joe, I sold my radio!

Between the Frostback Canucks and El Toro Jose, that's really all of the entertainment I'll ever need! JSNS, Los Mensos ese y Pinche Cabrons!

 

[Bungie]

Great pics Alan, I saw you there briefly but never managed to wonder over to talk. Such are the problems faced at the best FJR Rally of them all.
