After a nice breakfast 'Boofay' as Stella (4 y.o.) called what she, and my wife, made me (Bacon Waffles, Scrambled Eggs, Potatoes, Juice, Coffee and Lucky Charms) She had to fix my plate for me. Then I was told to go out on a ride. So I did... As I was heading out of town I came across a Yamaha Demo truck, so I test rode the Bolt, I put that in other bikes, and then headed up to Larch Mountain and then back down to highway 30 and then back home... a little patch of snow at the top. I got off the bike and walked up to the viewpoint at the top...  Me on the trail...  Well, I've already committed, ugh...  Sherrard Viewpoint  The Columbia River  Mt. Adams  Mt. St. Helens   The Viewpoint Inn that burned down a few years ago.  The obligatory Vista House picture   Horsetail Falls  I came home to some delicious BBQ Chicken...It was a great Father's Day!

Why yes, John that is the Mighty Columbia way down there. No, the sissybar is new, thanks to Mike (Warlock) and Maverick Customs. I have put Catsup/Ketchup on my breakfast potatoes, but not usually I like to mix them with my eggs. 
I hope all fathers had a great day!

Thanks Marty. I really like gravy on my fries, my wife and doctor don't want me eating it but...when in the land of poutine, I say live as the locals do.

Looks like a fine day of riding and like many I am so jealous of the scenery, my back yard has mounds compared to that. And a Yamaha demo truck to boot.
