the darth peach rides on .....and then some......

Finally off the boat and immediately starting to feel better,
I decide to ease my senses and take a ride up to the Hurricane Ridge...















They made me leave all the fun stuff behind.......
































































Everyone is enjoying the flowers....

What are you doing up this late Riv?

The drawback of working out late

Well, at least you should sleep well.
Me? Broken collarbone. Yeah I know, after all the crap I gave you about crashing.

Can't sleep.

Anyway, great stuff! Keep it coming girl, I won't mess your thread anymore.

That must be a heck of a zoom on your camera, or you went full Photoninja on that deer to get that close!

'Friendly' does (experience with people) will come up and eat out of your hand.

Bear tracks......












I got too excited when I saw the bear and snapped away with him almost out of frame.

Dumbass.














Well, the Olympic State Park was very beautiful, but it was time to make tracks to Tacoma for an oil change...

It rained a lot this day and I was sleepy.
Ended up taking a cat nap in the rain at a rest stop with my head on the tank bag about half way.
My body was dragging, probably not wanting to go home.

Super slabbed it and got to my destination about 9 pm
This is one of 2 photos it appears I took that day.

At the Triumph shop in the morning in Tacoma where they took excellent care of me and my bike.
I'd go back just for the oil change!
Super nice folks there, coffee and good chat.

Been there done that When you are tired, you're tired!!

Well, as I'm looking through the tail end of my trip pics,
The last few days are very unspectacular.
I stayed in Phoenix, OR for 2 nights and caught up with old friends....











Took a little jog through their pear orchard .......













Nice pear....














Earned my keep for 2 days of lodging...........
















Aired my gear for the final stretch and that was pretty much it.













I'm going to end this report with this picture....
I remember it was right here that I fell in love with BC.
My glass of wonderfully intoxicating views spilled over at this point
and I will always remember what a beautiful part of the world this Canada is.

Wonderful pictures!

It's taken me a few weeks, but I finally caught up.

Love your words and pictures.

All right, GREAT trip. So what have you been doing since the GREAT trip?

... Thank you.

You have a talent with word and pics.

Thanks.

Mark.

Had an hour or so to kill before an appointment so I thought I'd ride up to the headlands and see what there is to see...

Fog.












Here's a little clip of the fog rolling in....

The long way home..
