|  Why the North West is cooler than where you live
Took these weekend before last. They're from Gifford Pinchot National forest, trail 270, 271 and 276 (don't have pics from the other trails we rode) Nothing like going out and being 30 miles from civilization. This ones my favorite, on top of the ridge at the 276 (Yozoo) and 272 (Bishop Ridge) intersection.  Another from the same spot without the bike  Trail is just to the right out of frame in this shot, that rock formation is probably around a mile/mile and a half away, when you ride past it, it you see the whole thing, has to be at least 400-500 feet tall.  At the 270/271 intersection, our bikes, with all the wind falls and pieces of trees cut out of trails.  Both bikes are CRF230's, my dad's has more work than I can remember done to it, but the big stuff is a 240 kit and cam, CR250 forks and a disk brake from a CR as well. |

Personally I love the change of seasons. If I didn't, I'd be in Hawaii. Every time I'm out of MN, I miss the lakes. You can't go 5 miles in any direction and not hit a lake in MN. What they call Lakes in many states, are just pot holes in MN. Hence the Land Of 10,000 Lakes slogan for MN  I'd sure miss the beauty of winter    An Upper Midwest sand dune Last edited by freetimecrawler; 09-27-2006 at 11:51 PM. |

So we drive an hour East, and there are trees and mountians, keep going past that, and you have arid, flat desert. Drive two hours West, and you have the Pacific Ocean. I wouldn't trade it, even if it does rain all the time. Plus we have this:  |

The only reason the north west is cooler than where I am is because your farther from the equator.

Man, as if I need more convincing that the Pacific Northwest is the coolest place in the US to live. That is some gorgeous country!
