Heading north on Brown Road toward HWY 395
Sun glinting off fresh moisture in Owens Lake -- thanks to dust abatement
View of the Alabama Hills in the foreground with the Sierras as a backdrop
Winding up the fascinating narrow Alabama Hills road -- a bit rough-- but
you can just see visions of Tom Mix and The Lone Ranger shooting outlaws
from behind these historic boulders
HOGs greeted by colorful fresh Brown-eyed Susans lining the road
Climbing toward Whitney Portal -- a wonderful view of the valley below
Whitney Portal store and restaurant
Tommie and Clint -- smoke break at the Portal
Harleys look right at home amongst America's Mother Nature...don't they?
Dave looking for breakfast
The little fishing hole at Whitney Portal -- where Barry caught a few last year
Clint, Tony and Melody, Loretta and Barry ordering breakfast
Bobby's pancake BEFORE!
Now...does Harley-riding-Judy look like a teacher to you?
Something tickled Karen and Tom!...
It's seldom fun having your picture taken while you're eating!
Mountain Jay bird critters a'foot
...yes they are....
Bobby's pancake AFTER!... ;)
Nature having a soothing effect on Debbie
Anne, Stan, Steve and Tony took some really nice pictures....
Judy and Doug enjoying the moment
Doug faced with Chris and Judy's indecisions as to whether
or not they were truly done with the restroom!
In and out...in and out...several times until they fianlly relinquished it to Doug!
Either Debbie is still under the spell of Mother Nature...
or she's just one sexy looking biker babe! ;)

There's Judy and Paul...conning each other!
Barbara thrilled in the mountains!
Everyone's here except Stan...who's off in the mountains somewhere!
This group picture has the better smiles all around...
but David's high on the rock...face hidden behind the branch!
And look who shows up late for the group picture -- Barbara's Stan!
You've got to love him!...
Holy C--p, Herman!
Your date...Jeannie...sure dresses up your already-dressed-up HOG!
sigh!...
But Dani and Amy are definitely the cutest biker babes on the ride...for sure!
Herman and Jeannie!
Funny how you don't much notice Herman here!
Phew ;)
Karen and Tom...definitely enjoying each other's company and the ride...
and we really enjoy them too!...
Here's "your-money-or-your-life" Chris!
Stick'em up!
Bobby's not misbehaving....
'cause Judy's got his "Bad Bobby" finger in her grip!
Guess they just love each other...and Mother Nature!
Anne and "Bad Bobby" heading home
What a country! How 'bout we keep it?
There's Stan and Barbara...taking mpeg video clips of the bikes
coming down from Whitney Portal!
We're trying three of Stan's MPG videos here:
one two three
4.3 MB, 7.2 MB and 4.5 MB each
So if you don't have cable or DSL...be patient!...
There's Season's restaurant...the Lone Pine destination for our next dinner ride
Judy and Don developed a loose compensator nut on the front end
of their Road King primary chain.
Got home Okay...but had to bypass the longer ride around the east side of
Owens Lake and the ole historic town of Keeler.
Haiwee Reservoir
Little Lake
Steve in Inyokern -- Brown Rd and Inyokern Rd
Some of these pictures are Anne's, Stan's, Steve's and Tony's.
Many thanks!...
