YANKTON LUNCH RIDE


April....
We were met out the Knappa Store for our ride to Yankton, Or buy the local authorities. Has something to do with a 3 wheel Goldwing doing burnouts in the parking lot?

OK, it wasn't, it was Just Mike N. he could not ride with us today he had to work












Where is Yankton Oregon you say? Well it is on the Grand Tour Check Point Ride. Several of the members here are participating this year. Yankton is one of the check points.












That's Anne on her Trike chatting with Mary H.















Don S. Doug B and Dave H. getting instructions from Vickie L. before we head out.













What are they talking about?













The route to Yankton will take us down Hwy 30 to Clatskanie. We will take Hwy 47 to Mist and onto Scappose St Helens Rd. Making a few turns here and there and we arrive in Yankton. I don't know what the population is but it's not many.


Here we are lined up at the Yankton store Restaurant.






Now don't let the looks fool you..It's really quite Country on the inside with a Restaurant that can serve over 25. There is a small deck in the back with additional seating.













I kick myself in the bottom for not taking any pictures of the inside.. I don't know what I was thinking.


We had a great lunch and are getting ready to head out.










That is Dave H on the right and Doug B on the left.












One last parting shot















Don S. on the left facing the camera.















We had some late arrivals. Dick R. and Jim and Katie S. (who came in there really cool 55 Chevy) arrived late but had lunch with the rest of the group.

That's me and Dave H with Dick R. and Jim R. looking on.









Allot of great bikes!














There it is one really Hot 55....

This is really a great lunch spot. If your looking for a nice ride this is it. It's just a few miles West of St. Helens. You will have to look real hard on the map to find it but it's there.

Appologies for not getting any pictures of Joy R and Jim and Katie S.
