Solo ride report from area 51 and hanging with the lions

So my mom runs a big cat rescue place in NE Washington state bordering the Indian Rez. Some incredible terraine up there. I was supposed to ride with this guy from out there but that fell through. Hell If I wasnt gonna ride though. Theres probably a couple hundred miles of old fireroads out there with scenery to die for. There is some singletrack but %90 fireroads. I have been told its state land by locals and I am technically street legal on my wr300 so of I went. Some views...















Finished up the ride by hanging with the tiger(and black leopard in background)



The other lion lounging in the sun

That tiger looks menacing in the first pic and asleep in the second pic.. Beware! it's a trick to bring you closer

great pics!

Nice scenery, cool cats...make sure the gates are close...

you get in there with the cats?

Nope-lol..to unpredictable. Plus we never know who had them before or if they abused them or whatever. Its amazing how many people are getting them as "pets" nowadays.

oh ok animal rescue type place(i read right through that...derrrr). i wasnt sure, ive seen folks on tv go into the cages and tossin meat out like its the family pooch lol

is that the big cat place by deer park?

Its starting too. Washington state just made it illegal but there are all kinds of loopholes of course.

Close..your thinking of cattails. This is 1.5 hrs north of that. Pretty close to Canada border actually

yas i am ,so your about .5 hours north of 49* is that lake rosevelt or ? i have wanted to ride that country for a wile looks great

Yes..look at a map of the area...and look at the brown lines on the map that zigzag everywhere on pretty much all the mtns out there Youll figure it out quick how to get up there...lol. Take a gps and lots of extra gas as i garantee youll get list the first couple times out.

...I don't know how you find the time to ride...beautiful location...I'd be stopping every mile just to take it all in....ain't much here in Florida to look at....

gus, if you think florida is bad you need to try central illinois out sometime lol

awesome riding area, how do you like the Voyager gPS? I'm wanting to pull the trigger on that but not sure where I would mount it and more important I want a device that can display streets and roads.

Thx...I too held off on the voyager for over a yr as I have a garmin hcx. You actually can download street stuff. I found myself not missing the fancy color screen of the garmin because this thing is so intuitive and provides such clear outlines of where you are and heading that I forgot I am missing it.

How was the install? Did your WR have any stock instrumentation and if so did you keep it? Where did you get the nice protection for the Voyager?
