welcome aboard!
 
Wickliffe Ky, close to the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio river. The cross which sits on the river bluffs, 90 ft tall, serves as a beacon for the hundreds of tows, and the thousands of men and women, that ply the two rivers.

In 1780 during the Revolutionary War, General George Rogers Clark established Fort Jefferson on a hill overlooking the Mississippi River one mile south of present-day Wickliffe. The fort was intended to protect what was then the western boundary of the infant United States from raids by the British Army and Native Americans. It was abandoned in 1781 after a siege by the Chickasaw.

The site later served as a Union Army post during the American Civil War. General Ulysses S. Grant directed a demonstration against the Confederate-held position at Columbus, Kentucky, in January 1862. Troops from the post joined in capturing Fort Henry in February 1862. It served as a Union supply post for operations in the western theater of the war.

A 90-foot tall cross, the Fort Jefferson Memorial Cross at the Confluence, was completed in 2000 on Fort Jefferson hill.
 
Took a quick ride between laundry loads as the Sun was out for a day in Seattle!

Just a quick jaunt up to Skykomish, WA... An old railroad town.
Images below are taken in the front of and the side of the Skykomish Hotel...
Closed for many years... I understand it was for sale to be torn down. For a recycler there are some great ornate wood items in there... All "Old Growth" too. Beams, flooring, etc.

-Anyway-

I ride to work year round and I've been on the 2 wheeler for a bit so I ran the hack just to give it some fresh air! Twas a nice hour plus ride.

I really this one, I take it it is a crop of the first one? The grain of the building really adds rather than detracts as it gives the building an "old time" look that is in keeping with the wooden structure and the contrast of the modern machine in much sharper details again adds to the overall effect and heightens the contrast of new and old.

A Day Late

Last Saturday's Club Ride...

Today's pictures are still on the camera... (and it was a VERSYS day today as it had been sitting neglected in the garage for almost two weeks.) On Sat 14 Jun, the BMW Motorcycle Club of Ottawa met at the Carp Farmer's Market for a Road/GS Ride to Palmer Rapids via Calabogie and back. As the day started overcast with showers, most of us didn't know whether to bother wearing raingear or just hope the showers were light and fast. As it turned out, the raingear wasn't needed and by afternoon the temperature was mesh riding gear warm...

ERC class Concord, NH

I have to post two pics because it may have been one day but a slight change in weather made a difference.

Quick jaunt through Weston, MO to St. Joseph, MO. Stopped at the Jesse James house. It was hot outside. I also posted this photo in "Oilheads," afterwhich I realized that the position of her flip-up helmet in the photo makes it appear as if the fabled girlfriend's head is being consumed by a harp seal.

Different type of rally......

I was heading out of town for a day ride when I stopped by the "International Airstream trailer rally".
Chatting with the participants I found out that they are in love with their Airstreams almost as much as BMW riders love their bikes.
Similar topics of conversation...best tires, maintenance, performance....
900 trailers on the Montana State University campus.
