Trike time....Yikes, there's trikes!

Our annual couples ride has arrived! Well, not really, but close enough. Kenny picked up a new HD trike and hasn't exercised it enough.  Rooster wadded up his Wing so needed a new machine, enter that beautiful Spyder in the foreground. The Spyder needs to have some break-in miles so we are forced.....FORCED to go on a trip!
(The actual "couples ride" will happen in 2 weeks.)


So Rooster sets up a ride to Manila, Utah and then over to Lava Hot Springs, Idaho.

On our way we pass this veterans memorial...photo op!
(I can't remember the name of the town)

Sunrise in Manila.


After dinner and a very nice visit with mutual friends that live in Manila we hit the road for Lava....but first making a stop in Montpelier, Idaho to see the Butch Cassidy museum. Kenny's family had some connectons to Butch back in the day, so this is more significant than normal.
Three scoflaws! Rooster, Butch (Kenny), and your's truly.
We're smiling because we just robbed the bank! LOL

We see some old friends outside the museum after dividing the loot we make tracks to outrun the posse!

Posse successfully evaded we spend the night in Lava...and are treated to an incredible lightening, thunder, rain storm during the night.

Frivolity in the museum. ;)


And another great trip is in the books! 
We were able to put 684 break-in miles on the new Trike and Spyder. 
Had an incredibly nice visit with some old friends. Treated ourselves to too many great meals! And even avoided the heavy rains that happened all around us! Very VERY good times - Simply put, 
A WONDERFUL way to spend the weekend!

 Life is exceptionally fine!
