It is now Fri morning and we have finished a wonderful breakfast. We also purchased a loaf of fresh baked bread that came out of the oven as we were enjoying our meal. Leaving the cookhouse we head for hwy 299 and into the Trinity National Forest. The air is crisp and cool with some light fog. We wander east to Willow Creek where we again turn north and head up hwy 96. It is not long before we clear the fog and find brilliant blue skies.
The pictures above are from a vista point we reached after clearing the fogline. The one with the fog shows what we rode through to get to the vista point and the other shows what lays ahead. Below are a couple of shots Debbie took as we were traveling down the road from the back of the bike.
After traveling hwy 96 we turned south on 263 towards Yreka and then continued on Hwy 3 all the way down to Weaverville. This ride took us through parts of Trinity National Forest, Six Rivers National Forest and the Klamath National Forest. Once in Weaverville we headed east on 299 towards Redding and then north on I-5 to a familiar RV park and campgrounds named Wonderland. Tomorrow we are on our way to Lassen Volcanic National Park.
Sat morning we are up early and on the road. By 9 am we are at the Park.
Once again we are blessed with brilliant blue skies and very comfortable temps. The ride through Lassen is an easy one with light traffic since we have arrived early. Being a Sat they are not working on the roads today but it is obvious they do so during the week and there is fresh gravel down on some areas recently chip sealed. Once out of the park we continue wandering through back country roads working our way across hwys 89 and 70 until we reach 395 and turn south towards Reno, Nv were we will spend the evening with good friends and riding companions Tim and Kathy. We are pleased to arrive mid afternoon as the temps have climbed to near 100. A cold beer brings relief from the heat and ends another fabulous day of riding.
