Forecasts in this part of the world, that far in advance, are rarely accurate. We shall have to see and keep our fingers crossed.

I rely on this. If the jet stream is north of us count on good weather, south of us it will be very iffy and if it is over us it will be very wet.

Keep an eye on the Highway 3 web cams here ... recently added are Salmo and Christina Lake.

 Kind of chilly here right now but if Bubba shows up I will ride (barring snow or ice Smile )

I would say there is about a 90% chance I will be there. Cannot ride till saturday morning so not sure how much riding other than there and back. But it is a tradition to freeze my butt off and I am a big supporter of tradition. I find that a liberal dose of single malt the previous evening allows one to tolerate even the lowest temps in the morning and maintain a fluidity of motion.

 May I suggest that if you ride here Sat. on #3 then we ride Sunday to Yaak Montana and you keeping going west along yaak river (very nice ride by the way) and re-enter BC at Creston and I will head back to Rooseville

 Maybe you did not understand, ride hear Sat. I assume you only have Sat. and Sun.  Sat. evening we will enjoy a single malt and  BBQ, on Sunday we will escort you 1/2 way home via Montana. We would (others may) never turn Bubba out into the cold, well except for last time when you left and it was -10 but that doesn't count.   Bigsmile

 I'm not ready  

I had to take a CAR to my meeting this morning... something to do with a layer of frosty snow on the seat of the motorcycle I had planned on riding.  I slipped & fell on the icy boards of our deck this morning so I do think staying OFF two wheels was the better choice...

Wow...  I just came over the pass yesterday afternoon and it was clear.  Then blew the transfer case on the old Explorer going over Paulson and coasted it all the way down the hill into Christina Lake where I sold the carcass this morning to the local mechanic but that's a whole other story...

Yep ... be leaving here Saturday morning and catching the 9:50 ferry to Kootenay Bay. Will ride down to Creston and follow 3 to Elkford.

Weather looks to be 30% chance of showers Saturday but fairly warm and Sunday Sunny with a frosty start and a beautiful afternoon.

 Bigok  Looking forward to the ride.

Oh and I am riding the KLR so if you see the Michelin Tire man on a green KLR say Hi !!! Lol

Sounds like it's a go then  Thumbsup. I'm looking forward to a beautiful Fall ride. Major Chinook happening here right now, so hope the 100km/h winds forecast for the Crowsnest past subside tonight. Where/when shall I meet up with the Kootenay bunch? PM or email me.

Home at 12:30 today after a sunny and at times cold ride. Fernie was a lot colder than Elkford.

My camera packed it in just near Elko which is fine because every pic on this trip but two are out of focus.  Mad2 Shame because I saw a herd of Mountain Caribou yesterday and was hoping to share a good shot. I will spend some time later and see I can't fix them up a bit.

Time for a new camera.

Thanks for the hospitality and good company alpha and liz.  Bigok  Good to meet you Sputnik and hungryman.  Thumbsup

The Kootenays are stunning this time of year ... stunning.

One ... one photo worth sharing .... near Elko BC on a cold Fall day .... my dying camera destroys a beautiful, vibrant shot.

Good to meet you too Bubba Wink

Sputnik and I did the K.C.R part 2  "To Yaak and Back"   Quite the piece of road from the bridge to Yaak!  
We ate lunch at the Yaak River Tavern then went south to Libby and up the east side of the lake.

An excellent weekend of riding, though very chilly this morning and this evening. Thanks to Alpha and Liz for their hospitality, and to all for some good company. Made it back to Lethbridge by 9PM after some 12 hours riding today with the last 2 hrs in the dark and freezing cccccold....
