Moses Lake, Wa


« on: May 19, 2012, 10:25:46 PM »

Started out on word of mouth info about a ride north to the Border, leaving Wenacthee, WA at 10 AM. There may or may not have been a ride, as I couldn't find the meeting place. So, I just headed North, then East to Waterville (I'd never been that way, so why not?), from there east on Hwy 2 toward Coulee City, but then decided to head North on Hwy 173 to Bridgeport (Chief Joseph Dam) then Brewster, back to the east/south via Chief Joseph again to Hwy 174 to Coulee Dam, then South on Hwy 155 Along Banks Lake to Coulee City, then Hwy 17 to Soap Lake, Ephrata and back home to Moses Lake. Got in a total of 324.7 miles of ride..

Didn't take any pics of the first dam (Rock Island) on the way over to Wenatchee, but did take a few along the way.

Along Hwy 2







Chief Joseph Dam




From there into Brewster, Wa



Then the loop back toward Chief Joseph, the foreground water is the Okanogan River emptying into the Columbia River



Now onto Coulee Dam




Headed South on Hwy155 toward Coulee city along Banks lake



If you look closely you'll see some fellas hiking on the rocks




More along the lake



Then a pit stop at Dry Falls on Hwy 17 headed South



On to Soap Lake


then home..

ALL IN ALL, another crappy day of riding the fat lady... I love these crappy days, lol.
