Spokane, Grand Coulee Dam and hopefully a covered bridge

#1 Unread post by blues2cruise »

I'm heading to Washington for the long weekend. My pal and I hope to stop and take some nice photos as well as ride some interesting roads.

With any luck I will even get to Cruiserworks to look at the MC boots. :)

But mostly I want to photograph a covered bridge.
So, if you happen to see the blue V-Star followed by the red and white Virago, make sure you give a wave. :wink:

Anybody know of a particularly good ride down there?

How much time do you have? If you feel like bombing down south past Lewiston, ID there's Rattlesnake Grade and Asotin Grade. Excellent roads, but they are roughly 150 miles south of Spokane.

Thanks, skier. Unfortunately there was not enough time to go that far, but I might plan it another time.
When we got to Grand Coulee, there was not a hotel or motel room to be found anywhere. The info guy had phoned around and there was absolutely no rooms for miles.

The was a fishing derby...rooms gone for that.
Bikers on their way to Sturgiss had Spokane full up.
There was a rodeo and a music festival.....

So, we had to abort our plan for Spokane and head north to Okanogan for a room.

We then rode Highway 20 through the Cascades.
Your picture looks good. I'll add that area tomy list of things to do.
