Sarah complemented Jeannie and I a room so we could arrive in Bellingham a day early. This is the view from the motel room window.

It came with a great soaking tub that I put to good use, twice!

Even the New York Steak was comped with the room.

This guy was riding around the pier in this little electric car.

Very cool looking, but very slow.


A view of the motel from the pier.

An evening gathering of musicians.

I would love to sail the seas on this!

Some of these would be okay too.

My buddy Sherm would probably prefer these.

My daughter tells me that Alaska girls are different. These Bellingham girls are having a great time in that 50 degree water.
(They are probably from Alaska :) )

I think Ray gave this to his grandson.

Morning exercise class

Class of 1

I'm pretty sure he swam a mile because the pier looked to be about a half mile long and he swam the length and back.

The two prettiest girls in my life!



Hey Sherm, you'll have to fight her for the Cholula

Mine



I can't believe my wife finished this.

Drive in in Bellingham. I don't think he will quite get in from that angle.

Sarah and I decided to do a quick ride up to Mt. Baker before we had to check in to the family reunion.

Just a quick stop before reaching the end of the road up.


The ski area


The welcomed rest rooms

One of several glaciers on the mountain

Making the river look better!

Evening activity time at the reunion.

My cousins son Noah leading the activities

Breakfast, lunch or dinner, good question?

He said is smelled pretty good, might hang around for some scraps


The morning play time begins here

And here


Once they started keeping score, it got serious


Cept cousin Mark was never serious, unlike myself! lol

Even I got in the action

After about two minutes they had to stretcher me off the court.




My sister Shari

Cousins Patti, Becky, Paul and my daughter Sarah




Starbucks out here?

The Firs is a very peaceful and comfortable setting for the reunion!

Our cabin

Issac, Emma and family. I stopped to see them on my Alaskan motorcycle trip, but they were in a remote part of the state teaching a vacation bible school for kids at the time. I finally got to meet them today!

My Karen and her two of her children

No one is going hungry


We even have our own private beach

Well, maybe not completely private.

They are even taking over the sunning float. 

My daughter taking off in her paddle boat!

Heading to the high seas, book in hand!

Aunt Ivalee poppin a wheelie under the watchful eye of my cousin Rod
Now they are just showing off!  lol

Sending an SOS already?

Must be texting hubby

The Armada taking formation









Capturing it all from the sidelines!

Team work











When I returned to our cabin, I found my Fathers Day gift had been commandeered.

  I've been frustrated with blogger these last couple of years and I decided after 2021 that I wouldn't blog any more. Well, I guess I will try it one more time and if I can't make it more friendly to view I guess this will be my last time.

Doug and I have appointed ourselves as the North West contention of the Power Riders. It was Doug's turn to choose the ride and a fine one he chose. An absolutely perfect day at around 70 degrees and only three and a half clouds in the sky. This will be my last ride before I start pointing my front wheel towards home. While heading to Fishawk Lake, we came across this wreck. I'm not sure when it happened, but they are tired of people reporting it. Took a picture of the hay bales while there and got one of a hayseed at the same time. I was tempted. :) We're thinking it was probably stolen. Inside is full of trash. This Fishawk Lake security guy made us promise to keep this place a secrete. The lake was built 50 years ago but they didn't provide a means for the salmon to reach it. They are now building a fish ladder to fix that. This is where that overflow drain comes out. I have a feeling this small community has some dark secrets. Lots of old farm houses on these backro

Finally I'm on the road again!   Hey Rocky, do you see the Rock men climbing the big Rock mountain?  :) I rode to Kingman first and Sherm and Craig joined for a ride to Chloride and breakfast at Yesterdays. We all have our individual preferences for breakfast. I decided to try their famous BELT sandwich. (bacon, eggs, lettuce, tomatoes) Long ride ahead so elected to make a short visit. That sign ain't true if you have a bidet! Sherm in front of his Rebel, Craig behind his wing. Sherm picked up (literally) a nice gift for Pat. I stopped to top off with fuel at only 33.9 cents per gallon, but alas the train beat me to it and blocked my access. Beautiful new fish hatchery at Lake Mead, but no water to be able to use it. Huh? Virgin tanks waiting for water from the Virgin River. Some of the native fish in the reservoir Some of the non native fish they plan to raise in the hatchery. This is the girl that was my source of information. I also got a little info from this sign too! Just
