Merry New Yr. Last yr ,record precip,, this yr. not so much ,second driest Dec. on record. We've had a temp inversion for a couple weeks ,cold down low ,warm up high. Did a rare New Yrs. day ride up the Mtn. Not enough snow for Skiing. View into Diller Canyon
Explored around various logging rds. for a couple "warm" hrs,headed down,, ,Black Butte with Mt. Eddy in the background
This weekend should be the end of that....... A few weeks ago going over mendocino pass to Covelo.....
No worries.... http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/same-old-stupid-tricks.1272979/ There is still a lot up your way I need to explore..... I have done stuff behind Shasta poping out in Dorris......
If you haven't you need to ride in the pumice on Whaleback! Northern Kalifornia has lots of great riding off and on the road!! Excellent report and some pictures make me want to load up and return to the area!
MT.SHASTA,,with 50% H2O. 14000FTvolcano in the smoke since late June ! 3 huge devastating man caused fires south of us, Carr,Hirz,Delta fires burned over 1,000 homes in Redding, Several fires north along the Oregon border,contibuted to the smoke,, Burned thru hundreds of miles of amazing dual sport country,Glad I spent a lot of time exploring it all, Private timber will clear cut every stick,while the Forest Service will let their timber rot oh well, Mt. Shasta is above my handlebars,,,really!
Hoopa fire a few weeks ago ..... Had to ride clear to the coast to find Blue sky.... Top of Stewart Springs on better days.....
Finally smoke free!! Fires contained and a north wind cleaned us up..Wandered toward the north edge of the Delta fire in the distance just contained today@ 60,000 acres Trinty Lake in the upper far right
Recent rain,snow ended the crazy fire and smoke devastation,Thousands of structures gone,including some in remote places I explore. Remains of Slate Mtn Lookout on the Trinity divde after the Delta Fire Was a beautiful wood timber lookout,,retired ,not used for many yrs.
Lots of great H2O this winter wet season!! Many feet of snow at high elevations. Ski area finally having a good season. Got out on a couple of nice days for January,,,fun View attachment 1524530
Howdy neighbor, just on the other side of the mountain from you in McCloud. Don't spend much time on here but did look at your entire post and have to say you have been to some of the same places as I but you take much better pictures. Thanks for posting.
