Here is what you need to know.

I’m talking about the Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally in Baker City, Oregon. The king of the curve! And it all happens on July 12-15th. The U.S. Government named Hells Canyon a national wilderness area which protects the canyon into the future, but the real essence of the area is in its native American past. It’s home to […]

I’ll get right to the point. This year the Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally (HCMR) was hit hard with the “Gore Effect.” Huh? You may remember this as the phenomenon that whenever Al Gore discusses Global warming it leads to unseasonably wicked cold temperatures, driving rain, hail, or snow mix whenever he visits an area. I’m not exactly […]

It’s about 90 days out until HCMR, but if you wait much longer to ride the dream in historic Baker City be prepared to camp out on the High School football field.

On Friday we were up early to grab coffee and breakfast before making our way out to the ‘Devils Tail’ and Hells Canyon Dam.
