Nice thread!  "Pass" may limit the mountain range to a small area. We don;t have passes in Appalachia, I haven't seen any far west either but only rode out there a few times. Just C14 at a mountain may allow for more pics.  But I'll play, I been there =)



Its a big deal for us in FL to see snow. especially in July as I saw in the Rockies!  ;D

I changed it to mountain pass or summit. I know there are plenty of Appalachia summits. Nice pic at Loveland pass. I've been over many of the passes in the Rockies (including Loveland many times) but only have one pick of my C14 with the pass sign. I hope to get a bunch this summer. Will also be looking for opportunities to get pics with non-chain restaurants. ;D

BRP or Cherahola last summer, I'm not sure which. (edit, I think it is BRP as my tank bag has the cover on, and it rained off and on all day)

I love the parking method.  You never have to worry about some butt-head knocking your bike over.
