Those old Bronson series are cool to reminisce to. You can go here https://www.dailymotion.com/search/T...came%20bronson
and see about a dozen of them. Type "then came bronson" in the search bar. Some are pretty cheesy to someone that knows mechanics and bikes, but thats hollywood.
Salmo Pass, keep us in the loop when ya can, ride safe. My trip starts tomorrow, and getting excited. I will post in my thread.
I've done this twice ... Fired up in the morning and just went ... Two of the best rides I've ever had ... No GPS and left the map in the bag ... Truly a great time ... Good Luck :>)
Decided to go southwest. This is going to take me today through a mountain pass on hwy 40 through Kananaskis provincial park, on highway 40.
I stopped in a town called Rimbey for breakfast. This is in prairie farming country. Weather sucked until i got to the mountains. Rode 3 hrs in the rain heavy at times. Cleared up once i got to Canmore Alberta. Traveled hwy 40 over the highwood pass and worked my way to hwy 3 named - crows nest pass.
Typical central Alberta praires
First shot of the mountains hwy 40 going south towards kananaskis
This is one of my favorite mountains. The colorblooks different every time i take a picture of it.
Not sure if you can read this but speaks of gild still in the mountains. I find it hard to believe we have found all the gold. There is still some out there
Another far off range. The highway was very quiet today. Next to nothing for traffic Back in 1903 this mountain gave away and buriedbthe town of Frank. Franks slide. This is the other side of the highway probably half a mile from the mountain above
got a great camp spot in the town of Fernie tonight
that is 825km or approx 500 miles.
I have no plan for tomorrow yet. I am either breaking camp and going west or i may keep this spot and cross the border to the US and make a loop to Yak and back. Yak is the area where one of those mountain men live if you have ever watched that show on the history channel
That is so awesome. i spend most of my vacation now with kids and grandkids. 3 more years and I can retire and off I go anywhere anytime, God willing. Have a wonderful time and it seems you remember "its not the destination" but the ride.
Not able to do a bike trip this year is killing me but I have all you great guys that give your report to make me drool and also to see someone getting use out of their motorcycles this year. Safe travels and keep the posts coming.
