This Is A Most Dangerous Road.......

Hwy 66......a very curvy road up the mountain between Ashland and Klamath Falls....elevation about 1500 to a 4000 ft climb. Not many guardrails or buffer between you and the edge.........
Stopped here to take some pictures........as you can see.....to the left is the edge of the road....one little slip and it's goodbye, sayonara...........
At the crest of Hwy. 66 is the Greensprings Inn Resort. A rather rustic inn and cabins with a great restaurant. Stopped for coffee and delicious homemade pie........it's been so much fun exploring and finding all of these new places.

More Mountains

Like my new yellow helmet??? My Mother's Day gift from my husband, to keep me safer.
We pulled off to the side of the road to get some pictures of the lush green valley below. Yes, it was straight down, a little un-nerving for me.

And...here's Per.....same bike all rebuilt and running like a charm after his accident last fall. We both got new jackets though, to protect us from road rash in the very unfortunate event of a mishap.
This is Immigrant Lake in Ashland. It's a reservoir for the valley and is a very beautiful lake in the spring and summer, before the water level starts to drop. A popular place for picnics, walks, water slides and boating.
