| Well our trip is complete! It was planned to be a revisit for me and visit for the other two of Yosemite but due to the fire a large portion of the Park was not accessible. Fortunately, I had alternate sites in mind so we were OK! I left Wickenburg, AZ and rode to Yucaipa, CA and met my son (KLR650). ![Yosemite NOT! Hj](https://2img.net/h/i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/1974k5/Bodie%20Sept%202013/hj.jpg) ![Yosemite NOT!

Hj2](https://2img.net/h/i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/1974k5/Bodie%20Sept%202013/hj2.jpg) The above are pictures taken at the tomb of Hi Jolly in Quartzsite, AZ. Hi Jolly was the man that ran the camels for the US Army in the desert around Arizona in the mid 1800's! The rest of the ride was uneventful and was a 272 mile day! |

| Tuesday morning we packed up and hit another of our alternate destinations; Devil's Postpile! This is allegedly the largest basalt formation in the US. We left early and were in for a brisk ride as we started at 7000 feet so and went up to 9000 feet in spots; brrr. Very pretty though! ![Yosemite NOT!

Dp5](https://2img.net/h/i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/1974k5/Bodie%20Sept%202013/dp5.jpg) The last two pictures are of springs bubbling up out of the ground! Not exactly HOT springs but warmer than the surrounding waters. Pretty cool in any event!!! After this we headed to Ridgecrest, CA and spent the night then headed to Laughlin, NV for a couple cheap nights of R and R!!! We all parted company on Friday and the other two headed to Southern California while I headed back to Wickenburg! Nine miles from Wickenburg, I reached this milestone: ![Yosemite NOT! 10k](https://2img.net/h/i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/1974k5/Bodie%20Sept%202013/10k.jpg) My trip was 1521 miles and the Silver Wing ran flawlessly as usual, the high elevations had little or no effect on any of our bikes and it made for cool riding at times. None of us had any mechanical problems and we had a great time! Now to rest up and plan the NEXT ride!!!!! Hope you have enjoyed this account! |

| Glenn, here's a pic of the GW I just sold. I've got a great angst right now being without a bike.
Well apparently I can't send pics from my iPad. I tried to crop and re-size but to no avail. Sorry, no pic. Funny I can send pics to other motorcycle forums from my iPad. |
