For those who don't know, the Hoh River valley on the west side of the Olympic Mountains in the Olympic National Forest is a temperate rain forest. It gets 12 to 14 feet of rain a year. The weather comes in from the Pacific Ocean, rises up the slope of the Olympic Mountains, and dumps the rain here. On a sunny day it is fantastic with huge trees (20+' diameter), mosses, ferns...spectacular.

Thanks!! She's a trooper. I'm still trying to convince the missus to let me take her on a ride if I make something to hold her. She rides on quads and snowmobiles all the time though and loves it!

Back on subject...
I talked to the missus last night and told her I am going to this next year. She gave me the go ahead to plan on it next year!

Looks like an awesome area!!

Sure thing fire away, they are very close to where I live so for once I have a ride I don't have to venture too far from home for once.

Last road trip took me to reno I was hurting after the 14th hour in the saddle... yeah i took the scenic non-interstate route ofcourse... on the way back yeah it was the slab as my legs were toast after that four day event.

Talk to you soon
