Hey Feliz, glad to hear you made it OK... I am not much on Bus riding.

A big thanks again for the evening out on the town. Janis and I enjoyed the visit.

By noon it was all gone except a bit in the shaded areas.......

yesterday was a much different story. i had 3 different bikes out for a jog

fall colors all but gone. The tamaracks are looking good.

so many cloudy cool days lately.....nice to get out riding

Karri, where is this? It looks familiar.

Hektoglider · 10-17-2012, 07:07 AM

Looks like the snowmobile bridge over the Seine River coming out of Finlayson Lake.

Great pics!

Pretty foggy here Ron, supposed to rain tomorrow so the fog should clear up. The weekend is looking good, Sat to Mon, then crappy weather again.

Good luck getting out, do they pay you to stay?

If we can't get out, it means that the other crew can't get in, so yes, we are paid to stay,and keep the place running. The people who can't get in also get their regular pay....it's not like they have't gone to the airport to TRY to get here!

Been four days now.

There's a runway in this picture somewhere.

Ron, you better hurry up and get back...you have to leave to go back up soon

That sucks, hope your back for the weekend, looks like the last good weather for about 5 months or so. Still rideable out there! I won't be riding this weekend though...have to prep for Moab

We left a couple of Bell guys stranded in Cat Lake for three extra days. It's been pretty shitty. Better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground. Just think of the overtime!

ZZR-Ron, did you ever make it home? Hope you didn't miss this little bit of nice weather...it's over now

Not much going on in this thread. Everyone give up on riding for this year? I've been prepping the 530 for Moab. Finally changed the front flat tire and put in my "Brand new never used" backup tube...seems it ain't so brand new anymore after bouncing and rubbing in the back fender bag for 6 months. Big hole worn thru it

Had to buy a new one and install it instead. Also found that my glue in the patch kit took a hit sometime and was spread out all over the patches...nice

Guess I should check it more often.

Fixed everything up, changed oils, cleaned air filter...good to go

Can't wait to get out of here and venture south again...4 days and counting

Can't wait...
