Interesting weathering on the rock. Looks like water (wave) action. Kinda odd to find it 5 to 6 thousand feet up. ;)

The site had to be 'blocked off/restricted entrance' because of *******s that thought their "artwork" was better than the original's. Sad. The white patches you can see are areas that have been distroyed. Oh if I could only ....:rocket1:

ST1300 and the V65. Not the bikes you'd really want to use on _some_ of the roads up there, but they made it. :)

Went over 300 miles on the clock today. :06biker: Still waiting for the Bar-risers. :confused:

Hey!

How come you can say ****heads and I can't say *******? Doesn't seem fair, does it? lol...

Roger on the ****heads part though. I'm not really a violent type but stuff like that really gets my dander up. At least the site is protected now.
