Carol and Myron's big trip
this year went up the coast of Oregon and Washington,
through British
Columbia and Alberta to Calgary.
Coming home, we dropped down
through Montana, into Wyoming for Yellowstone Park and Grand Tetons,
then
return through Idaho,
Oregon, and back into California
This was a very enjoyable trip. The bike ran flawlessly with the exception of an electrical short in the trailer, quickly fixed.
