Going over the check lists.

We have been going over the checklists for the trip.  It is really difficult deciding what to take and what not to take and keeping track of it all.  I found a great site for checklist that you should check out.  MikaPeak Check Lists.  They have pre-configured checklists and ones you can customize.

Tested out the Spot and the Goldwing this last weekend with Tyler (our grandson).  We started out heading down the east side of Mt. St. Helens on Forest Road 25 and were going to go all the way to White Salmon along the Columbia River.  Unfortunately the road is blocked by snow!!  June 26th and its still blocked by snow!!!!!!  We decided to go down Forest Road 23 to Trout Lake ---   Again that road is blocked by snow!.  Turned around and went back home via Packwood.  The Spot worked pretty well except when it slipped down between the bag and the back seat.  No problems with the bike.

Getting pretty antsy now that we only have 2 full days left before we take off.  On July 2nd we will be going through Vancouver and on to Whistler.  We should be stopping for the night at one of the campgrounds before Cache Creek.  I'll post pictures as we get a chance.
