Likely the last dry, 50-something degree day until April. Short days.. doesn't
get light out until 07:00 so we're on the road at 07:30. Pretty chilly. VERY foggy.
Improved some by the time we got to Rainier. Better by the time we left Cathlamet.
It was a gorgeous, warm, bluebird day at Dismal Nitch. Started getting cold on the
way back along SR 30. Got a little behind schedule and it was dark about a half
an hour before we made it home. Nice day, overall... and definitely the last chance
for a 2014 foliage ride. Great color but the trees are definitely getting thin.



It's been raining buckets here for a while. This is definitely the last half
way dry, half way not freezing out riding window left for 2014! So.... off we go.
The obligatory stop in Rainier, Oregon.

Here's more pictures of the Rainier, Oregon segment.



A stop in Cathlamet and lunch at Sharons Pizza.

We visited Cathlamet, Washington in 2012 and again in

Winter, 2014, Spring, 2014, Summer, 2014, Fall, 2014 and Late Fall, 2014.

Here's more pictures of the Cathlamet, Washington segment.



Cathlamet is a quaint little town. But, like many small towns, they have their
share of idiots. Some hick cop in an unmarked car followed us around for a while.
I can certainly see where a geezer Biker walking around with a Nikon camera taking
pictures could be construed as a threat to the peace and tranquility of this little
burb. Jagoff....

He looked like a jerk. I'm guessing that if I took a picture of his black Dodge
Charger I would have gotten to meet him. Brainless Thug cops are common in
Louisiana. You don't see that many of them in the Pacific Northwest though (thankfully).

























Here's even more pictures of the Cathlamet, Washington segment.
