I raced ahead of the group so I could get shots of they flying past.
I split off from the group to take the Priest Grade Option up to Ward's Ferry Rd. Ward's Ferry Rd is marked as closed, and I'm curious why, so I'm going to where it is closed to get a picture.
TBD story about the K1600LTs, Jay, time it took, pinch bolts, and the price
After dinner, I tried to meet up with Ken, but couldn't find him. So I went to the rider's meeting in room 777 at the Golden Nugget Casino. Lots of girls in cowboy boots and short shorts heading to a country music concert. Too bad they were all inside the concert after the rider's meeting.
