Default Hell's Canyon Rally

Taking off in the morning for Baker City, Oregon and the Hell's Canyon Rally. Meeting a good friend and his wife for the 400+ mile ride in from Washington. Me and my wife on our Road Glide, his wife on her 09 Softail Classic, and him on his (envy) Orange 2009 CVO Road Glide. Should be a great ride.

Any other baggers from here going?

Steve

Steve, have fun. My daughter graduates Saturday so I have to miss this year too. Hope it stays dry for us all. Grab an extra poster if you think about it, I'd like to have one. Be safe on the road!

Was going to leave this morning with some buddies. Been watching weather all week. We made the decision last night to go sturgeon fishing out of Astoria instead. T-storms everyday supposedly in Baker City. I hope not, for you guys sake. Ride safe and have fun!

Got wet but still had a blast. Did the 180 mile ride down in to the canyon. The last 22 miles is called the devils tail. Lots of fun even in the rain. Just had to keep in mind "that it's all part of the experience" as a friend of mine says.
