@ Gary:

With all the abandoned places you explore on quiet mornings, I’m surprised you haven’t come across a dead body or 2, a la any “Law & Order” episode.... :laughing


Most of the "abandoned places" near Alameda NAS, Hunters Point, Fort Ord and Treasure Island aren't that remote. There are often people and businesses right around the corner. I wouldn't want to be in some of those places alone at night, though.


2 weeks ago near Fort Ord

Abandoned Fort Ord Barracks

While there I came across 4 separate men and 1 woman (!) who appeared to be squatters. Can't imagine their lives with no heat, plumbing, food, locked doors... :(

Found a kindred spirit with another 790R. Went somewhere I knew there wouldn't be snow. Good ride overall.

Fire roads near the Highway 32/36 intersection. Came really close to dropping the bike in the snow. I thought this was all the snow I'd see today till I headed to Butte Meadows.

Not much snow up 32 (had to get off the road to find it)but was surprised how much I saw between Butte Meadows and Paradise.

I struggle to keep my bike upright every time I ride it in the snow.

So don't ride it in the snow! Duh. :rolleyes



Just kidding, but I always turn around once I get to the snow and sometimes if there is too much mud as well. We still have lots of snow around here.
