Fires erupting between U.S. and Cedarville. Hopefully we can drive up that way on Thursday.

That fire definitely not a great situation! Hopefully they are able to keep it mostly under control.

You should be fine even if you have to go up 447 which would be my preferred route anyway.

I’ll check out 447. Looking forward to the trip. We’ll both be in her for this trip. Been using Google satellite to scope out your routes. Looks like some nice areas to explore.

The 447 has you driving through Gerlach which is the western gateway to the Black Rock Desert.........You definitely want to do some riding and exploring out there someday! Just make sure you don't speed through the res as I've read they like to get speeders. It only a few extra miles, but you bypass Reno and the roads might be a little less congested?
 
I’m up above Callahan-Gazelle Road on Kangaroo Creek Road this morning, and no smoke! :laughing

yesterday was brutal in the smoke and heat on Hwy 299 by Hwy 96 (which was closed at Hoopa due to the wildfire), but I rode out of the smoke at Weaverville and on Hwy 3. ran out of steam here and just camped on Kangaroo Creek Road at a view to the west.

in years gone by when I was riding from SF I’d stay west of Pyramid Lake and then cut over to Hyw 395, just for fun, or instead swing by the little hotspring and then on to Gerlock/447.

hope to see everyone soon! :ride

Well......Now with the Stallion fire on a run and the winds blowing from the west, 395 might be the best way again?

Things were going so well for us in CA and NV this year.......
