Pics of our trip West from Ohio

[RJD]

I finally got some pics on the web of our trip out west. I have them broken down by states. The beginning pics are of Minnesota and Wisc. We stopped for a couple of days in South Dakota the MTA bike rally there. Pics of Rushmore, Crazy horse and some of the other sites were taken on a day tour in a van. From there we rode west till we got to the coast. Way too much beauty to take in all in one trip.

We totaled around 7100 miles and it was worth every one of them to see the places we saw.

Montana is a beautiful state but we pretty much were just passing through.

Idaho is beautiful... We stayed in what they call the high desert. Not much grass and trees in those parts but following the rivers through there was great. You will see a lot of different kinds of country. The mountains and the glacier fed lakes are beyond belief.

Oregon is a gem. We stayed in an Inn on the Snake River. You will see the pictures of all the handmade things in the gardens and around this ladies yard. All done by local Artists. From the mountains, rivers and then to the coast.

California... what can I say. We rode one of the curviest roads I have ever been on. That would be Rt. 1 on the coast. The ocean, the redwoods, Napa Valley are all worth seeing.

Just click on each state and you should see a slideshow. I haven't uploaded Washington. I will have to do that soon. If any of the links do not work let me know.

click on the state at the top of each picture and it will take you to the link.

 

I guess it did that because I pasted the links into the message.
