I'm sad that the place was closed. Looks like a really good spot.
You know I love travelling that way. Follow the front wheel until you get to where you are going. I do have some resources if I get in a pinch. There is a not very active website here in the US that lists motels under $50 per night and motorcycle friendly. And I usually have my tent and sleeping bag along.
Gives me memories and an itch in my right palm. I'll take my first trip to the higher country around here before the month is out.
Thanks.
