Big thanks to JB. Good day and fun to meet some forum members and burn some fossil fuel as it looks like we are in for a full week of much needed rain.

A nice toasty start

Past a local landmark, yes that is named after the " Donner Party ". That famous story happened an hour east of here, note the nice clear sky.

So much for sunny skies, down to the central valley fog

Notice my stellar 04 silver in a sea of blue? Actually we had two 04's

Time for bird watching

See em'? Look real close...

How about these, ok black birds are a bit smaller than the cranes.

How about a Turkey Vulture..they are really big!

Let's go find beans

After lunch I bailed from the group to enjoy the foothills east of Lodi on some new roads for me toward home and SUNSHINE!

Ahh- some nice twisties

A California happy cow!

Here's a look at the Foresthill bridge. This is Ca's highest bridge, well over 700 feet.

Good work. Good pix. Glad you were along to add a little more silver to that sea of blue machinery.

And congratulations on seeing some sunshine.

It was good having you join us, Doug.

Riding in Winter sunshine is simply UNFAIR! :glare:

The photo I took of you passing me was really blurry, so I didn't post it.

Most people say I'm a blurry all of the time

Awesome report! I know some of those roads and have a similar pic of the FH bridge.

BTW - I see those Galaxy Blue bikes are the best. :yahoo:

Nice photos. The fog reminds me of my last visit to Sacto. Many of those Sandhill Cranes show up here in the summer. It is good to see everybody. :clapping:
