Woke up this morning and though it would be nice to have breakfast in Paradise.  At 7:30 am I mounted the old Royal Enfield and was on my way to Paradise.  Rode 65 miles up into Mount Rainier National Park to Paradise Inn at a elevation of 5,400 ft.  Elevation at my house is 540 ft.  Arrived at the Inn at 9:15 am and had breakfast.  From there I rode around the back side of Mt Rainier down to the little town of Orting.  Got there about 1:00 pm and had lunch.  From Orting I preceded to Yelm and then back to my home in Roy.  I arrived home 201 miles later at a little after 3:00 pm.  A great little ride with good weather all the way.

Royal Enfield people are good people

Cheers,
Bill

            Good fer you, Bill. Great day  :)

             I'd give my left ball if I could ride 1/2 of that in a day. For me it would be any of the Rockies, Wyo, Colo.. Right now, I wish I had moved to Buford in the '80s.
