Labor Day Sprint.....
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2007 8:27 am
My Boss (not the wife, but the 1 who sign's my paycheck) told me I had an extra 8 hours of work to get down over the weekend.......So I went to work @ 4am Saturday so I could finish by noon & have the rest of my weekend Free'd up. 
Was out the door @ 6am on Sunday for a ride along the Clackamas river again.....
Never get tired of this area.....
Got found memories of railin' on my RD up here ......
This is what you see just over that guardrail ......
My timing seemed to be impeccable......as there was NO traffic to speak of!....Even though the campgrounds were all full!......Most peeps musta been sleeping off their overhangs from Saturday night I reckon.
Having been up here plenty of times in the past......but not always with the use of my son's Digi-Cam.....I took advantage of this opportunity & captured these views that I've always wanted to.......
Both from this wide spot in the road....
Finally took a break here before I headed back downstream.....
& NO, that's not a funny-looking picnic table!
It's actually a Launch Ramp for river Rafts.....
All in All, a great morning for a sprint up the Clackamas!
Glad I went & ordered some new tires for the XT though.....
Feels a bit sketchy goin' round corners on squared=off DS tires!
