Out West

Decah and I departed Dallas, Monday morning, heading for Reno. We rode the first day to Santa Rosa, NM. The weather was great, and we had a very pleasant ride! Day 2 found us riding to Holbrook, AZ. We spent a bit of time in Albuquerque, replacing my cell phone, and our air card, since they both took a dive! Again, we had a terrific ride, with great weather!

Day three (Wednesday) was a terrific day! We rode to Las Vegas. We made a stop in Flagstaff, where we visited a Harley Roadhouse! It was terrific! We had lunch, that was "above and beyond"!
This photo was taken outside of Flagstaff. It was the first sign of snow!



The photo below was taken inside the roadhouse
Decah, outside the Harley dealer
Darry, outside the dealer. Obviously, we couldn't find anyone to take our photos.
Below, taken above Hoover Dam. As many times as I have ridden through here, I am always amazed at it's beauty, and grandure!
D&D above the dam
A great shot of Decah, that she was not expecting!
D&D, on the strip, in SIN CITY
A shot of the laser light show, along the strip
Day 4, Thursday, found us riding from Vegas to Reno. We crashed out at our good friends, Bill & Sheri's lake cabin. This was the hardest day of riding, since we fought a fierce wind, and dropping temperatures, the farther north we rode! We were totally surprised, to wake up to snow on Friday morning! WoW, what a beautiful sight!
Another shot of the foot hills, at the lake.
As you can see, our bikes had there first encounter with snow!
Something I haven't done for forty years!
Another great day! The forecast for the weekend, looks great! After the Round-up, we are calling, we plan to enjoy some riding, in this great area!
