Pch , CA to the place called golden egg cafe near port hueneme . The food sucked but the highlight of the day was a driver turning into me a 5mph and having my foot smashed againist the st radiator. The bike is fine and it wasnt a big deal felt more like a love tap from the car. Roundtrip 150

I know what you mean, I could have done them again yesterday but decided against it, very challenging. I know plenty of folk who have dropped bikes there.

Was out for the afternoon with a bunch of other adv bikes.
A mixed group with a BMW gs adventure, BMW F800gs, KLR650, Triumph tiger, Vstrom, and 2 teneres.
Some smooth roads, lots of rocky sections, and a few slick bits. The young guys were flying pretty quick and luckily we only had a couple of crashes, but one was spectacular.
I was 2 bikes back and didn't see the whole accident, but when I looked up the KLR was completely upside down sitting on the bars, tires straight up, facing back at me. It was a good one and luckily he was fine.

While we were sitting around waiting to get going an older fella walked over and said he had a bike we might like to see. We walked over to an old shed and expected to see some old junker. He opens the door and there sits a beautiful black Honda Dream. Best I could tell it was somewhere between a 1966-69. Beautiful shape even the chrome was near perfect, complete and ready to run. Nice old bike.

These are on a back road single lane track between Buena Vista and Sedalia - East side of the Arkansas river

You can see the road in the valley

This is looking south towards the Sangre de Cristo range

The south and north ends of the road are much different and dryer than the middle part.

Two nerds on a three day trip through Swedish iron manufacturing history.
We drove through the provinces of Dalsland, Värmland and Närke on a 980 km excursion with some of the stops documented below:

Håverud, the only place in Sweden where a bridge for cars, rail road bridge, aqueduct and a boat canal all meet up. Picture from the bridge.

Dalsland's canal exiting into lake Vänern.

Borgvik, started as a sawmill but turned into an iron works. Dating back to the early 1200!

Streaming water always present to supply the power needed. Nature beauty included in the price!

Quick stop at a vehicle museum in Arvika. Husqvarna military bike fitted for snow action. The pride of the army in the 1950.
jb5.jpg

Pershyttan. Mine and iron works dating back to 1360. They actually exported the iron to central Europe and Russia back in those days. All by horse carriage.

The town is still a living museum. People reside in all the old houses.

One night we slept in an old haunted mansion. Legend has it, there are tunnels below where the Swedish government and other "dignitaries" would hide in war times.

Back home where the local hotel is letting an old steam boat anchor for the summer.

If you ever get lost in Sweden and would like to see some of these places, let me know.
Happy summer to you all!!
