My brother bought a new V Strom so he came up from SoCal and we met in Bridgeport then rode over a few passes and stayed in high country for a few days. I couldn't talk him into high altitude dirt road exploration though! I go up alone and explore old mining roads all the time (on my KLR of course) but he didn't want to get his shiny new bike dirty. Sorry there are no spectacular pics, when I'm having the most fun I usually take the fewest pictures! (I gotta change that habit) Raydog
