| This ride took place on 2 April 2005. S.S.M.C members met in the Commuter Parking Lot in Benton City, WA in the mid-morning then headed out Old Inland Empire road to the Old Yakima Hiway. |

Our first stop was in Granger to visit the dinosaur park and cruise the "dinosaur drive" through the town. This dino [below] stands in front of the City Hall/Police Station in the center of Granger. |
| Lunch was at Manny's in Naches where no one was able to finish the huge portions Manny serves up. The ride back to the Tri-Cities on Hwy 24 is wide open 2 lane desert road which took us completely around Rattlesnake Mountain the highest treeless mountain in the United States. Total distance is 180 miles. |

This photo is from an earlier ride to Granger. The park there is filled with life size dinosaur sculptures including a Plesiasaurus floating in the lake! |
