Vic (or anyone else passing by) ,
If you get up to Bellingham we have a very nice three acre compound in town with a full RV hook up. Mt. Baker is about 50 miles east and has some stunning hikes. This is the view of Mt. Shuksan from the Mt. Baker ski area :

The road to Artists Point beyond the ski area didn't get plowed out last year since the snow was so deep. But they were busy plowing it last week with an anticipated mid July opening :

We also have a scooter rally at our place on the last weekend of July (27,28,29) with about 100 participants, Camping,bonfire, outdoor movies, fun and games, and lots of free food. This year it's Alder Planked custom caught Copper River Sockeye, Dungeness Crab, and Prime Rib. Nothing special. You don't need a scooter to attend but if you have a MC endorsement we can fix you up. There are some interesting rides over the weekend.

This is the scooter I take on the road when I'm working :

Sorry to highjack this thread but thanks. Our Summer and Fall are very pleasant. That same location set a world record for snow fall in 1998 with over 60 ft of packed snow on the ground, it was higher than the chair lifts at the ski area.

"The world record for the highest seasonal total snowfall was measured in the United States at Mount Baker Ski Area, outside of the town Bellingham, Washington during the 1998–1999 season. Mount Baker received 2,896*cm (1,140*in) of snow,[65] thus surpassing the previous record holder, Mount Rainier, Washington, which during the 1971–1972 season received 2,850*cm (1,120*in) of snow.[66]"

Hi Jeffrey,
Another picture postcard! I live in the southern most state in Aus and although we have some great vistas, we have no tall mountains or proper ski fields. Went to NZ a couple of years back and very similar lake views with moutainous back drops. Whilst the outback has its own particular appeal, I think that nothing can match the mountains for sheer oomph factor and you guys are very fortunate in that department. Ditto for the unintentional hijack.

Vic, The snow may be cold but the air temps are in the mid 70's I was wrong about the road to Artists Point, it looks like it won't be open until August.

Vic! I wish I knew you were in Santa Barbara - I just passed through on Friday going north. Anyways, I'd love to meet up for a meal in October when you're back down in LA.

I was just passing through going north as well, just got to Portland OR today! Have been having a good time hiking and enjoying the beautiful sights!

Hey Vic, I've loved reading this thread. What a great project, I'd love to do this someday. Let me know if you ever come through Medford, OR on I-5, I'd really like to see this.

I just got to Portland area today, I came up from Eureka, into the Marble Mountain Wilderness and then through Cave Junction and Selma to Grants Pass, so I missed Medford, sorry. I should be going through there on the way back south though, about the middle of August.
