Hey guys, I posted on the Fourth about my plans, but for those of you who don't know, my dad and I took the bikes about 215 miles out to Copper Breaks State Park and then took the long way home the next day. Here are a few of the 150+ pictures I took.
About an hour and a half from the park, we hit some rain.

At the scenic overlook at the park

Our welcoming party

the lake itself (it was a lot bigger on the map)

the dam and the Pease River below, winds along the bluffs

So this place is still in texas right? Post up some more pics if you, I really like them. Personally love the gas station, gives such a nostalgic feel.

The orange one is my dad's, a 91 Kawasaki ZR750, went by "zephyr" back then. He just got it repainted last fall and it is so sweet...

That kawi is pretty cool looking.
I didn't know that there were that many trees in TX. I expected to see cacti, rattlesnakes and cowboys everywhere!

Really nice shots! Living on either coast, it's hard to believe there is that much open country in the US anymore..

haha that's a lot less trees than we've got around here! and funny you should say that, when I was living in NC for a short period, everyone asked me if I rode a horse to school
