Ah, bummer, I read about this on the Four Corners MC Meetup and almost went. Instead, I decided to go to Carnegie on the way to a flat track race in Sac, took a spill at Carnegie, sprained my ankle bad, and had to skip the race.

Hopefully the ankle heals quickly Dan.

It was fun riding around, stopping and checking things out.
There is something relaxing about solo rides too.

Hey Bill,
Here's something I'll bet you can relate to, but which
kind of blew my mind ... on dave6253's last trip he rode 3000
miles and says he returned with 3000 pics on his
cameras ("a pic a mile, about average for me ...")
... think he said he spends about 40 hours
on one of his ride reports, editing and processing ...
... a first-principles, life-lesson there for me ...
creating impressive art involves what mere citizens
would consider an awsome level of effort ...
artysee you around
the campfire,

Wow! That is an astonishing amount of effort. Clearly he gets great pleasure from both the riding and the sharing, lucky for the rest of us! I do plan on copying a couple of his shooting techniques, but will stick with my comparatively low effort reports.

John, Have you followed any of Desert Dave's RR's over at ADV? Some really fantastic photography and narrative in them too.

Wow, another artist ... thanks for the link!
Desert Dave said:
... effort is necessary, but I suppose having some
talent helps ... I'd say you're up there in the
Pantheon with dave6253 and Desert Dave compared
with those of us who look but don't really see ...
"I've seen plenty of awesome photos from cell phones
and point and shoots because the
person was in the right spot/right time."
... some of us have to count on serendipity ...

her new pillow ...

... wish I could get away again ...
where you guys going?
... best bit of kit ever!
Great stuff John!
... thanks, Eric ...
... Thermo Bob forever!
... Doctor Seuss ...?
Christmas Day, 2017 ...
... could see the snow capped
Sierras across the Central Valley ...
... Christmas Eve, 2017 ...
... got super lucky with the
weather ... no wind and lots of
cool clouds ... slept warm ...
... always have big plans in this
part of the world to hit the
hot springs and visit Clear Creek,
but usually wind up watching
the day go by in the first place
I set up camp ... there's adventure
for you ...

I'm glad you liked your pillow!
We're thinking carrizo. The dr's carb is being weird. So I need to fiddle with it. We'll see.
I could go for some hot springs.
