Premium Member micah2074 Posted August 21, 2017 Author Premium Member Share Posted August 21, 2017 Only me, myself, and I. For the last few years I've been hitting up a big area once a year. Next year I'll go south and head toward th Grand Canyon and San Francisco. After that I'll pretty much have explored the whole country. My plan when I retire is to pick a state or two and spend a couple of weeks at a time ride all their good roads. This trip, US 12 across Montana and Idaho is a must do again. Especially LoLo. US 20 from Albany Oregon to Bend, fantastic. Logan Canyon to Garden City in Utah was also loads of fun. I live about an hour from the dragon and I'd pick Logan Canyon any day of the week and twice on sundays over it. These are all roads and places that I will absolutely go again.

Premium Member keithu Posted September 4, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted September 4, 2017 Nice pics! I live in Albany, OR. US-20 to Bend is nice, but if you're ever in the area again I can recommend even better routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member micah2074 Posted September 4, 2017 Author Premium Member Share Posted September 4, 2017 I stayed in Albany. Got gas there too. I'm not used to y'alls gas pumping policy and when I was getting off the bike I kicked the poo out of the station attendant. He was standing behind me and I didn't know he was there. I really enjoyed Oregon. I had no idea y'all had so much desert. Let’s go Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member keithu Posted September 6, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted September 6, 2017 Yep. Beach, rain forest, mountains, farmland, desert... It's all a 1-2 hour ride from my house. Oregon was a really nice state before it all caught fire. Glad you were able to see it before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I didn't care for was the gas pump policy. Let’s go Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fantastic McKenzie Pass and OR138 are closed due to fires right now. I was heading through that area this coming Friday, I will reroute through John Day, Burns and Fields. Up here in Washington, we are going through the same ordeal right now. Smoke and haze in the air and road closures. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
