Relive Video Link a few pix.
No smoke here, we rode in heavy smoke most of the day, the prevailing wind takes it just East of here.
Tomorrow will be an easy day probably Sonora Pass over and back. Saturday a run on the gravel to Bodie and them a dirt run from Bodie to Bridgeport.
No sign of Miss "T" yet? DCarver is in the house along with Fontanaman, EscapeFJRtist, Paxman, JREW, and the inestimable Kip Walker.

As will be readily apparent, I'm no longer headed West. Combination of feeling "crappy", literally, and the potential for awful 
smoke in La Pine caused me to "Truncate the Trifecta".
Saturday afternoon we rode down to Mamoth and found the HD Pan American Demo Truck. When Kip and I arrived there was no one lse in line to rude the 15 demo bikes. George and Kevin arrived shortly after us and we all got to take a 50 mile paved demo with no "minders".
The Pan American is an awesome
motorcycle! Ask George for his butt dyno performance opinion. Truly a "Houligan" bike!
After riding on road they turned Kip and I loose on two knobby equipped bikes for a ten mile gravel loop.
Here is today's Relive Video with some photos from yesterday included too.

Sorry to see you had to cut it short and glad you are feeling better!! Thanks for posting!! Reading RR's is helping me prepare for my big trip west in a couple years. Hopefully Tyler can plan one more YFO.
