What a place.
The view is amazing.
We had lunch (corn chowder in a bread bowl) then send for a ride around the lake.
Tomorrow we will have breakfast then head up to Yellowstone then to Red Lodge MT for the night.

These do not do this area justice.
Breathtaking is the best way to describe this area.

Rolling Thunder Washington DC May 23-25 2015

This was my first time to Rolling Thunder and it wont be my last.
Let me give you a little history on this event.
A couple years ago somebody showed me a pic of an interstate with 5 lanes of bikes traveling to an undetermined destination.
They asked me if I knew what event this was.
From the pic i could tell that it wasn't Sturgis.
After some research I discovered it was Rolling Thunder.
Rolling Thunder is a support / demonstration that is geared mostly towards American troops present and past.
It started around 1987 and has grown ever since.
Last year there were over 900,000 people that attended the event.
This year they figured there will be about 1 million.
The ride starts at noon at the Pentagon and they ride over to Lincoln Memorial Park.
Its about 6 miles long.
I had never been to Washington DC and was eager the see the Pentagon.
Its way bigger than i thought.
I didnt partisapate in the ride....Its just way too much traffic for me pluss its a all day thing and once you are in it you are kinda trapped and cant really get out of it.
I did most of the ride at 9am while searching for the vendor area.
Even the traffic then was large.
I decided to wait till the ride started the head out in the opposite direction.
I wanted to head towards Virginia Beach.
At noon they started up there engines and the ground shook.
I'm still getting goose bumps just thinking about it.
It really was a site to see.

I arrived Saturday night and got a room right across from the Pentagon.
The motel was packed with Gangs and clubs from all over the country.
I'm sure I was one of the very few Canadians there.
I met a vet from the Infedels club.
You have to be in service or were in the service in order to be in this club.
 We chatted and shared a beer or 2 and talked about his trike.
(i took a pic of him the next day)
The rest of the pics are from Virginia Beach and just north of that area.
It was a great trip....finally some decent riding without too much traffic.
After the beach i got to ride a few tunnels on hwy#13 and it was very cool to ride under the ocean.
