OR, how I spent Labor Day weekend.
I've gotta say, there is some beautiful country over on the dry side that I didn't know existed. I WILL do this again. Guess some of the location and wind a small bit of respect from yours truly.

Not gonna re-post pics––even DSL will implode––but I recognized (or thought I did) ferry to Whidbey, bridge from Whidbey to Fidalgo, Leavenworth, Wenatchee, Chelan, and I forgot the name of both dams.

Grand Coulee Dam
Dry Falls State Park Kristall's Restaurant in Leavenworth (that was the destination of the last group ride I went on) I've been on almost every part of that whole route at one time or another, except the NW part through Oak Harbor & Townsend (been close though). Looks like you had lots of fun!  |

The subject of this thread is missing probably the strangest encounter of our entire trip, that being the saxaphone playing weirdo that showed up at our campsite in the middle of nowhere at 11 at night.

Looks like a great ride. thanks for the photo of the map. That is a nice route for a weekend ride.
What year is your sporty? If it is a carburated bike, you can get 90 plus rear wheel horsepower and still be as reliable as a stocker. My current sporty is 84 inches and goes mid 10's in the quarter.
