I went thru last friday .
It was a really sweet ride,The snow banks on the sides of the road were cool.
The road it's self is in great shape,until you drop down from the Arlie "Itchy Butt" Memorial lookout ( I don't know the name of the lookout) when you get down in the trees it get dirty,then it'll clean back up .for the run to Cougar
I'll try to make it,but not for sure
Have a great and safe ride.
Jeff

I have the hardest time getting Photobucket to EVER load a movie file....don't know if it's cause its an .mov file....but even .mpg files won't load most of the time...dang it.


Great day! Hwy 14 SUCKED...not because the road was bad but because the rolling road blocks were completely oblivious....and if the #2 roadblock never passes..well it's just makes it miserable.
The rest of the day was spectacular! Perfect weather. great roads great friends.

In no particular order:
