    Riding here in Oregon definitely can have some beautiful scenery. This morning picture of the sun rising in the east.

    While you are all looking at beautiful sunny scenery, I'm looking out the window at 8" of new snow and still coming down hard. April broke record for the snowiest and coldest April in history, now May is going the same way. Blah!!!

    Ho, hum - about 355 days a year here we have beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the mountains. Of course, with over 300 different mountain ranges in Nevada, it is easier than the few in Oregon. It helps, too, to not have too many clouds, except for those 10 dreary days. Or friggin' trees to block our view of places to go!

    Knocking me again:rolleyes:

    You can have your dirt and sand and what you call mountains, enjoy.

    Been through Nevada and the only nice area is up by Lake Tahoe course allot of that is in California. The rest of Nevada is dirt, sand and rocks. Even, AZ is better. :D

    Here is what I really think. The only reason to ride to Nevada is either to go to Reno or Vegas or simply to ride through going someplace better.

    Mountains of Nevada

    Yep 2 ranges the Catskills (much older and weathered down and the Adirondacks. Higher and more dramatic. Great trout fishing too!
