Over the Anzac Day long weekend in 2006, just prior to travelling to California, I took part in a motorcycle trip to the Lake Johnston area, about 460 kilometres east of Perth, organised by Paul Tregurtha.
- Our camp setup in the bush just north of Lake Johnston.
- Ready to go riding.
Even though it was mid-April the temperature was in the mid to high 30s. Not the most comfortable conditions to ride but, hey, there’s always a cold drink to come back to after the ride!
- You’re stuck, we’re not.
- Needed some help to get out.
- It wasn’t just the bikes that needed to be recovered.
- Recovery operation.
- Difficult to ride on, difficult to walk in.
- The recovery operation caused the ride to come to a stop for quite a while.
- Two more wheels to get stuck.
- Shane
- Ready to go riding.
The bruised ribs from a fall on the last day made for an uncomfortable trip across the Pacific.
Everyone learnt a very good lesson – don’t mess around on salt lakes, no matter how inviting they look.
