That's a great photo set. Thanks for posting it. I went out to Cody in 09 to ride and just loved the area. We were able to ride the Beartooth Pass, Chief Joseph Highway, Yellowstone park, and the Wind River Canyon. I was looking to head out to the Tetons but it was just too far form our campground and I only had 4 days.

Here are the photos I took:

My compliments on your website.  Enjoyed the pix.  Thx for sharing.  For me, reading other folk's ride reports takes a bit of the edge off wintertime.

BTW, I’m a fan of the WRC too.

Pretty much, my web site is there so I can relive my trips during down times like this. It's nice that others can enjoy them as well.

Happy riding brother!

That’s not my bike.  I had my C14 with me.  A married couple were traveling on that bike.  It was a very nice looking Harley and I believe it was “quiet pricey”.  The bike’s owners went into town that evening before the storm hit.  They didn’t get back to the CG until later at night.  Imagine their shock :yikes: upon returning and seeing that!

The bike had been on its side for a few hours; however, once the bike was righted it fired right-up.  I didn’t get to see the “downed” side of the bike during daylight hours and don’t really have an idea of how bad it was damaged.

I'm sure it had damaged sails and possibly even a couple cannons were bent up.  That is why a pirate ship needs to be anchored during a storm.   ;D
Keeping the economy going, one tank of fuel and two tires at a time.

Happens. If I hadn't been standing by my Vulcan in '08, the Santa Anna Winds would have pushed it over on I-15. Had to stand and hold it down for an hour.  :-\
