Yes, the shirt is a Pendleton. Eastern Oregon is largely a mystery to me. Looking forward to getting back over there in April. --Smitty On Wednesday, March 13, 2013 5:36:10 PM UTC-7, dougP wrote: Great photos, Smitty Tommy. Most people think of trees when they think of Oregon, but it seems

Great photos, Smitty Tommy. Most people think of trees when they think of Oregon, but it seems like the eastern 2/3 looks like your pix. Wheat sheep country. That shirt must be a Pendleton to last 3 generations. dougP On Sunday, March 10, 2013 12:40:36 AM UTC-8, Andy Smitty Schmidt

Andy, so bummed I couldn't get out that way with you. Hopefully I can make it out next time. There are so many great roads out there. A ramble from Dufur to Maupin would be excellent. I was talking to a friend and he said it was pretty overwhelming the number of people that showed up for the

Funny that you mention Maupin... There was a motorcycle club hanging out at the store in Dufur when we pulled up. They were interested in us, our adventure, and our bikes. We chatted for a bit before they pulled out and we went in to get food. At one point one of them said Hey, bikes is bikes.

The first quarter mile is the worst part of that ride! Well, except for crossing the bridge from the Maryhill area to Biggs, OR. Looks like you found some nice places to ride, but when you go back, do consider riding Dalles Mountain Road, and Old Moody Road. They're fantastic dirt climbs.
