2015 Wallowa Valley Adventure Jamboree

Pretty sure it's not Dug Bar.

Wow, for an old guy you have a pretty good memory! That shot might be down the road a ways, if it was taken on the same ride and yes it was 2008. Loud Al was on his F650 and crashed a lot if I remember... That is my old bike and I was taking the picture.

The guy on the bike is an inmate who lives in Lewiston, some of us stayed at his house - nobody knows his name?

And who is the 4th inmate in the group? Also what is the exact location? It was Idaho, not too far from Lewiston.

I had thought of Idarider, but didn't think it quite looked like him. But, with your info, I think it was.

Same day, same jacket:







The fourth guy, I hadn't met before, nor do I remember having seen him since.

Yes Ladybug, KC Puppy is "IN" too! She will remember to pack her rain gear, just in case.
Cheers
Dave, Dot & KC Puppy

Hi LadyB,

I should be there, but don't want to jinx the trip with thinking to far ahead. Got skunked on a few rides as of late. (2x KTM Rally's in a row).
Hope my Oregon atlas is still in the Imnaha restaurant, lost my train of thought and left it B hind when the state fuzz was giving a talk that had lot's o eyes pointed my way...as I was one of them...main part of the talk was about sharing the road.... and this year I will have fresh brake fluid so as not to boil over like I did going down to the landing strip at Dug Bar....try that with no rear brakes on a KTM 950...NOT!

///..._____and thanks for taking point on this ride_____...\\\

If yours is anything like mine, better flush it again the day before you leave.

Yep it was Roy, riding an XR250. The fourth rider was I believe Mr. Vintage riding an SL350.

The location was Eagle Creek down to the Salmon. Snow at the top and balmy in the canyon.

No need, it does that on its own now and then.

OK, I was thinking of the wrong guy for number four. I remember Jeff.

(This I beleive is from the next day.)

Jeff is Mr Vintage's name, I believe I remember that from two years ago....

Yes, it is. Screen name formerly Jeff 54, or some other number. He changed to Mr. Vintage on the ride from Lewiston to Oxbow.

It was kind of funny, a bunch of us on high-end, high horsepower Eurobikes gassed it up Joseph Creek, feeling we were doing well, but every time I looked in my rearview mirror, there was Jeff on his 30+ year old 350 Honda- we couldn't lose him.

Gotta Be IN!!

Those pictures look great, esp. in the middle of winter.

Surprised to see pics of that old ride down eagle creek. That and Wapshilla ridge are a good combination for a day ride.
I loved that old 82 xl250r but am glad I have the DR350 now.

I wish I hadn't seen this because I can't make it I had a blast at this years and I look forward to the trip reports and pics this awesome event will provide.

It's ok, I will be in Victoria supporting some friends racing a half Ironman race that weekend plus getting in some final good training for myself since I have Ironman CDA 2 weeks later. I wont ride my motorcycle until after June but I will be around and try and make any get togethers otherwise!

IN !!!
