Pretty. Do almond blossoms have any aroma?

I didn't notice any fragrance, but then I didn't sniff any flower up close. The bees seem to find their way to them, apiaries abound

So little weekday traffic... on weekends this is like a parking lot.

Today's goal - north to Indian Valley and Cambridge. Maybe down into Hells Canyon.
This is the point where I made the road choice, the wrong choice, that sent me into the mud and snow. This photo was after I made it back out and stopped for lunch. Talked to the people in the background with the Yamaha side-by-side and they assured me that the other road wouldn't be too tough all the way to Indian Valley.
A little mud with snow on the edges, how bad could it get?
This was the point where I was thinking "It could be just two more miles of this or it could be twenty-five". Time to turn around.
After getting the bike turned around. Not easy alone with close to zero traction on snow.
Coming back out it seemed like the muddy/snowy part was about ten times as far as it had been going in. Still got a ways to go at this point.
On the correct road, at a high point. Only a little mud on this road.
An idle center-pivot irrigation system - probably in a hay field.
Indian Valley was the destination. This was the only other road choice I had to make all the
way north.
Getting gas at Cambridge. I was considering going down into Hells Canyon if I had enough time, but it was 33 degrees coming into town there and 32 on the way out. Heading down into Hells Canyon would have been stupid to the extreme. Notice the big snow banks in the background. And as soon as I got over a couple of passes it warmed up at least 10 degrees.

Freshly laid asphalt in the last 2-3 miles to the top. It was still steaming when they let me ride on it.

After Sunday morning Mass ride, San Juan Grade Rd. To Mission San Juan Bautista. Brown bagged a lunch and sat under this tree.
Packed a telescoping fishing rod and grabbed my mini-tackle box earlier today with hopes of getting out to San Benito River. It was kinda out of the way. Rode out to Moss Landing and threw a line in to fish, but the tackle I had was for fresh water and it was muddy as all hell so rode out to Manresa Beach for some photo ops. My wife is a realtor and does quite a bit of business in Pajaro Dunes and I never really knew what it looked like out there.
And the long shot
