Trip West 2021

The Cove used to be our go to California destination. But the hotel prices have gone outta sight so we don't stay there anymore. Shame as I really like the seclusion of the place, watching sea lions on the rocks and deer in the yards......

Had an uneventful ride back to the hotel from Shelter Cove. Up early the next day and headed for Oregon. Morning was cool at 50F / 10C and a little damp from the sea mist blowing in...

106F / 42C as we crossed southern Oregon. Beyond hot. Wasn't too bad while moving but stopping for fuel made you sweat a bit.

We head for elevation and Crater Lake to cool down...

After an overnight stay in Klamath Falls, OR, we head out into central Oregon and aim towards home. Not a lot out here. 150 miles between fuel stops and Todd's Duc nearly ran outta fuel a couple of times...

Landed in Wendover, Nevada on this night. Nice enough little gambling town in the desert. Got up before dawn to head out in an attempt to beat the heat of the day...

WOW, the huge trees, the crater lake, the Salt Flats, the desert roads, that's all amazing. The temperature changes are also amazing.

 

The size of that lake and the water colour is mesmerizing.

Left Bonneville, hauled ass through Salt Lake City and turned south towards Moab. Temps were up around 105F again so Dave and Debbie didn't wanna ride through Moab - they just got on the freeway and blasted for the hotel. Todd and I were foolish enough to go look at some other stuff..

Todd was beyond hot at this point and attempted some roadside body heat control.

Stayed overnight in Grand Junction, Colorado before getting up at 0500 Saturday to hit the interstate for home. Made to the house and put another trip in to the books. Sure was fun.

Are you not allowed to filter past that stationery traffic ?

If I ever do ride in the US, I don't know how I would cope with being stuck in normal traffic like if driving a car.

No.

OMG !  that's the whole point of having a bike . I suppose if you're used to it then it doesn't bother you but that would drive me nuts.
