Beautiful Photos!

Brings back many memories. I worked in Glacier with the biologist crews for a few years.

The full curl ram in the lower left photo is posed in the classic dominance/intimidation pose. When two big rams meet each other they will raise their heads high, turn their heads to the side, and show the other ram the size of their horns. If one is markedly larger than the other, the smaller ram will back down and avoid the head bashing dominance fight that sometimes ensues.

So, this begs the question, who had the bigger horns and won the dominance display???

You got it right, amigo...and it didn't hurt that he had the biggest cajones, either!


'For your viewing pleasure', here's some scenes you are familiar with..maybe?

'For your viewing pleasure', here's some scenes you are familiar with..maybe? ------------------------------------------------------- Let's see, it's been a while, but maybe I can come up with some of the locations: St Mary's Lake w/ Goose Island [[ Lower Grinnell Lake Mt Grinnell w/ Mt Gould behind [[ Upper Grinnell Lake Two Medicine Lake [[ Two Medicine Peak Lake McDonald [[ Iceberg Lake Mt Grinnell East Glacier Entrance [[ West Glacier Entrance Mt Clements at Logan Pass [[ McDonald Valley from the Highline Trail Going-To-The-Sun Highway [[ Mt Vaught and Heavens Peak ------------------------------------------------------

Going-to-the-Sun Road

Yes indeed, I've been over the Sun Road in a motorhome several times, but the best was on my Vulcan.




I know a few Pams, but who or what the hell is 'Pom'?

p.s. just checked. 'Pom' ..a taro like root based oven dish native to Suriname. Hmmm...why not?

Si como no, amigo..I was the younger of 3 brothers and 1 sister...all riders. Destiny, you see.

Oh yeah...biker through and through. I remember well the taste of grasshoppers, being blinded by my brother's roostertail, and sliding in the cow pies and road apples. It was all a young boy could hope for...heaven on earth.




I had a few adventures..some were even fun.

Flying over my Coyote seawall in pursuit of sobriety and no hangover. I found sharp seashells and red tide.



First bike love was Bonnie, my next door neighbor, on a Triumph Bonneville, then followed a Honda Super Hawk, then a Harley which damn killed me at 14, then a vintage Indian & Norton from my Tio Herb..and on and on...Honda, Kawasaki, Yammie for Baja deserts...you name it, I bought, traded, or won it.



I really ached for this one below I saw in the Black Hills at Chief Crazy Horse museim.

It was a raffle prize. Tickets were five bucks. I bought a hundred. My dream went to a young gal who had..agh!... one ticket...given to her...arrgghh!

Well, okay...good on her...yeah,yeah, it's okay now....sniff...sigh..(little girls should not be allowed to be in raffles!)





.

Here's a photo from 1991 or 92 (forgot to date a lot of pics back in rum days)..showing some Harley Hogs from Oregon..all Higway Patrol...who I met in Florence, Ore the year before on a Ride for Cancer patients...invited the Hogs to come see me in Baja.






This is just a couple springs ago in Minneapolis, when Co-pilot wanted to get acquainted to 'the Harley style'..which is huge in Italy & the rest of Europe. Harley...schmarly. Anything was stylish on her...even just Chanel No. 5





Hey, that was a fun walk down Memory Lane...thanks for the prompt, mcfez!
