Let's see your CB1100 out on the road!

There's everybody's favorite yellow! Beautiful.
Last day before I have to report back to work at the college tomorrow, so what better way than to ride the CB1100...did a route I hadn't done for a number of years.



Lewis River Rd meanders through Lake Merwin, Yale Lake and the Swift Reservoir, all just south of Mt. St. Helens in Washington. About a 165 mile loop.



The Lewis River which feeds into Swift Reservoir


Fun to ride through long sections of forest tunnels


From McClellen Point, looking at Mt. St. Helens, which blew its top May 18, 1980


Kind of looks like the peak is cloud covered, but the peak disappeared in the blast.


Here's a sat shot of the viewpoint looking towards the south exposure of Helens


Then more and more lovely forest riding till I returned to the Columbia River. Very windy, lots of para-sailing and kite surfers (visible if you enlarge the photos)

I remember that was a big deal back in the day. Some man actually video taped the event (mostly grey image) while trying to deal with it.
