Well, every year a group from the Victoria area (HOG members) make a run to Winthrop over the North Cascades Highway in Washington, Hwy 20.

This is such a good ride that they do it annually in the spring.  This is also the ride we are looking to make with some of the members on the way to Nelson.

So I was in contact with CVOMOE since he shipped an old 40' Ford Pick up Sturgis model bank to me for safe keeping and when the group was headed down CVOMOE and BT PM'd me to meet them.

I hooked up with them a Skagit Harley where the group literally couldn't wait to hit the Screamin' Eagle stuff and buy, buy, buy.  In Canada Harley does not have the rights to the Screamin' Eagle  logo so the Canadians have to buy it down here.

Here's a pic with the members that were on the ride.

Here's the entire group form the north.  Once they all got through the border, Saturday morning it took around an hour or so and then only because they went to duty free which allows you to cut the line with purchase

So after an hour or so of shopping and shooting the chit, they headed off for Winthrop.  The rains had subsided by then and everyone had a chance to buy what they forgot and dry out a bit.  There ride will take them to Winthrop tonight and then Osoyoos tomorrow night and I believe some may be headed for Nelson before they go for home.

Christine explaining where rain comes from to Harleybee, I think.

Group is itchin' to depart, Christine, what the heck?  Coffee, let's go.................

BT and Harleybee103 decide it was a good idea, regardless of the weather......................

Can we ever go anywhere without a little repair?  The RG had a fuse issue and loss of headlight.  No worries, slam another fuse in the ol' girl and worry about it when we get home.

Great photos Rjob!!

Thanks HB, it was fun to meet up with the group.  I didn't get to ride with them as I was heading north (if the weather would have been better I may have) but all in all, I surprised them showing up on my bike and not in a cage.  They were expecting a cage, so that was fun.

No way I could meet up with a member from the site that was riding without being on my ride too.  That would be sacreligious or something.  It sure as heck wouldn't be what we're all about here.

I am sure their ride will be great and can't wait to meet up again with more folks from here even if I have to wait until we're on the way to Nelson in July.
