You should return when it is blooming.<br />I am glad to see you didn't get stuck in the snow.

Second, I liked how life brought you what your head needed....eventually. It seems to work that way. But, you've got to take the action for it to happen. And, sometimes it takes a candy bar bribe to begin it all.<br /><br />Loved the prose in this post. Very nice!<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-21228610297448053082012-05-05T20:25:04.952-05:002012-05-05T20:25:04.952-05:00Chris:

In some ways it is good that you had very light traffic. In the summer it is crowded with tourists and you can't always find a place to stop.<br /><br />I liked all those waterfalls<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14805736@N04/" rel="nofollow">My Flickr</a> // <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/bobskoot" rel="nofollow">My YouTube</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-34828227578904584972012-05-05T18:47:26.068-05:002012-05-05T18:47:26.068-05:00I'm really glad you decided to blog today, Ch...I'm really glad you decided to blog today, Chris! While your pictures take my breath away, I wouldn't have wanted to miss the stories about the birds and finding the waterfall. Your account of the experience made me laugh too!

Yes, ice fields was great. <br /><br />I suspect I will get more snow. on some levels I'm glad it was snow and not rain. the snow bounces off, and I don't get wet. a few degrees warmer, and it would have been a much colder ride. <br /><br />the silly Clark's Nutcrackers, thinking about them now still makes me smile.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-91542628806068801252012-05-05T10:10:07.836-05:002012-05-05T10:10:07.836-05:00Cool thanks!

The SV also gets superior MPG, but the Ural has an easy spot to carry lots of extra.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-71399340902505974832012-05-05T10:03:50.218-05:002012-05-05T10:03:50.218-05:00thanks!
