Coming back down into Ouray...
...did not stop at all in town. On the Ridgeway side of Ouray now...
...the curves are nice and the scenery fantastic! Rock face on the right and stream on the left.
Uh-Oh...noticed my engine temp was higher than normal. Could not figure out why at first.
Then I checked the coolant overflow tank and it was bone dry...
In close to 100,000 miles of riding on Twin Cooled bikes I have never had to do anything at all with the coolant system. But this was just the start of a learning curve. I did a little online research and found some compatible coolant (no HD dealerships for many miles in any direction) along with a funnel, and filled up the coolant overflow tank to the appropriate level, then followed the bleed procedure.
Back on the road and everything seems fine. Stopped for these deer to cross, and watched them go up the hillside.
Mary and I near the lake where we're camped...
...Mary in front of a part of the lake that is dry right now. The red arrow is pointing to where we are camped, with the mountains in the background.
Looks like fire in the hill near where we're camped...though there are some fires around, this is just the start of the sun dropping below the hill.
A little later, the sunset has more color, the TG is really dusty, and the moon is full. What a great day of riding and exploring a bit.
