    I gave this one a second look. I am surprised at you RVFR. A man of you obvious intelect should know that north of the equator it is always clockwise. It is not until we head south of the equator, we go down the sewer in a counter clockwise direction. Smarten up!

    Thanks VFess. That road looks great. I assume it's Hwy 142, on a map it looks nice and twisty Goldendale to Lyle. I think we need to blend this one in.

    You have to take 142 to just south of Klickitat and take the Appleton turn off, less traffic and more twisties, you still end up in Lyle, though. Highly recommended.

    I'd suggest avoiding Hwy 9 south of Arlington. There's a stoplight roughly every mile until you get to Woodinville.

    I hope to hook up with this ride also on day 2 if you go clockwise. I'll keep an eye on the thread and maybe spend the 2nd morning riding to Goldendale and meet up there.

    Map looks confusing but once you make the turn towards Appleton, the blue lines are pretty much the only paved roads.

    No biggie if you miss it cuz 142 is pretty fun, too.

    Well we know for sure it's going to be a 2 night 3 day trip. We'll get a date up this week.

    Dates...

    Unless there is an overwhelming objection were gonna go with June 12-14, with July 24-26 being the bad weather backup.

    I am 100% confused on the route though, someone needs to clarify and piece together all the great ideas.

    Just a little bump to get people excited about this ride. I read that the North Cascades Highway opens tonight at 8:00 PM.
