Williams Dam and Beyond
Little trip, big fun. 0900 hrs. Denny, Linda, Marlis and I left our house with no set plans other than ride to French Lick and eat at the (over priced) French Lick Resort. I didn't know they had raised their prices again. $32 bucks a couple!
We just wanted to ride! Denny suggested Hwy 450. (It's Russell's favorite highway. I wish he could have been with us.) Marlis and I had never been to Williams Dam, and Denny thought we ought to see it. The last time I rode Hwy 450, I was following Steve Shoemaker. Have you ever followed Steve on 450? I almost pooped my panties!
Long story short, we had a great time! Taking part in a group ride, even a small group, of like-minded indivduals is one of the ultimate motorcycling experiences. It's a great way to share the fun and camaraderie of motorcycling.

Webmeister's note: I found a web page with photos taken when the dam and power plant were constructed nearly 100 years ago. I thought this aerial photo was particularly interesting. You can see all the photos here.
