excellent route. Million dollar highway i wrote off as too crowded to do any more, but caught it on a fall day, midweek, cold, clear after morning frost (and thaw), and it was magnificent. In june I’d think hard about being out the door with the sunrise for that run, and I’m not a natural early riser. That whole route you laid out is really top notch. For ADV riders, there’s a lot of great stuff in central and eastern oregon as well.
I’m in oregon, so have no excuse to miss the gathering other than work emergencies, so I’m planning to shoot out there. Heard about it being in my own back yard from an old guzzi friend in Alaska, who’s coming down for it.
