For me, YFO was a jumping off point for a 2-week road trip… I had originally thought about NM/AZ but then checked out the average temperate this time of year and nixed that quite quickly (I don’t do well in triple-digit heat for multiple days on end) and decided to head west and then north up to OR/WA/ID… it was a good choice, imo.
So Sunday morning, the first point on the adventure was to head for Doug & Gayle’s house in Grass Valley… the morning was cool when we first started out and traversed the Little Dragon again, Doug towing us along and moving that big girl of his along at a nice clip (and I’m not talking about Gayle!)…
Love how both pilot and pillion are looking through the turn…
Reflections along the Moccasin Reservoir…
So happy to see Don Pedro Lake near capacity after so many dry years…
Stopped in Jamestown and Doug scouted out a nice place for a late breakfast…
Jamestown is fairly famous for its frog jumping competitions… there were plaques in the sidewalk with the accomplishments of those critters… this was the most impressive!
Continuing along 49… you guys should be out riding! Um, maybe not…
Bridge over the river on Foresthill Rd…
Interesting trunk lock…
Quite a crew that descended upon the Bug’s abode and they took it all in stride…
We had a lovely dinner of pizza and salad complete with tales of our travels and lots of good stories…
Everyone spread out to their assigned sleeping area, be it spare bedroom, tent camping, or sleeping on the porch, for a well deserved rest… the next morning, folks flew to the winds in all different directions for different adventures… and there were many hearts that had been bound together that trip…
For me, I headed west with Festar in tow to experience some great PNW sights and roads… stay tuned cause there’s lots more to come! B)
