I still can't believe it took me this long to get down there! It's only a few hours south of here.
Quote:
Oh, I am sorry! I did not mean to confuse. Each of these are separate trips, usually posted the day of or the next day (depending on when I get home). I travel a LOT on my ninja! I was looking at the 2013 mileage contest to see where I started and so far this year I have put on over 20,000 miles. I took a big trip with my mom, stepdad, and their coworkers back in July that had three legs, 300 miles, 500 miles, then 700 miles. After that, I found myself hooked on long distance traveling. If you pop over to the ride reports, I usually write something up after the main trips (but not all the little ones I do). I would LOVE a month or twelve to just travel around the continent before shipping my bike to Europe and continuing to explore.

It's pretty amazing how many people have Yosemite in their backyard and have never been. I mean, people literally come from all over the world to see Yosemite. I love Yosemite and have hiked there (may actually do Half Dome next year, hiking wise). I have not been across Tioga Pass yet, although I would love to see the other side, as it is vastly different than the valley. Usually, I buy a pass because it's so close from where I live and easily accessible. I have tons of Yosemite pics, just not on the bike yet... someday!

Yet again tried the BunBurnerGold and yet again failed due to exhaustion. At least these are giving me a second day to go places I haven't been before!

I'd never even let my bike touch the salt flats. I hope you hosed the **** out of that bike before long??? I hate what a little road salt does to our cars, I can only imagine what that much salt does to your entire bike.

She's getting a complete scrub down tomorrow. Had to get home today so the dry salt got a ride home with me. Been sporting too much road grime for too long so the salt is just the final straw to a thorough detailing.

Oh, I've fallen behind.
So, my bike was in the shop for a week and obviously unable to ride it. But got it back and heard that the roads below 5k were clean and dry so went riding. Since I had emptied the bike of all my electronics, I didn't get a log for this route. My first stop was to check out an old historic "billboard" showing a local business' support for a Presidential candidate. In one of the most clever ads I have seen, the owner supported both men! Unfortunately, the sign is now behind private property but I had an old pic I took awhile ago. Here's the kicker... This election was in 1896!! South end of Carson Valley looking northeast. I had planned to go up Hwy 89 but it was covered in ice, so I just stopped to take a pic of the snow. Went over Jack Wright Pass that thankfully had no snow. I love Wilson Canyon!!

And yesterday, being December 1st, I had to go riding to be able to claim I have ridden every month this year. A few Twitter followers were saying they were under grey sky and snow or rain, so thought I would share the sunshine with them.
The historic Lincoln Highway runs parallel to the modern Highway 50. You can drive it, but high clearance is recommended as NDOT pulled out the culverts so there are periodic gaps in the road. An old abandoned brothel sits along side the highway, so I stopped. Mostly because I always see this marker from the road. It's a Clamper monument dedicated to the "original gold diggers" - the working girls of the west.

So today was the first day of vacation and i couldn't have asked for better weather. Decided to do a shake down since my girl was trapped in the garage for the last three weeks.
Rode to Reno to grab In & Out since that was the Picture challenge. Then headed south to Washoe Valley where I stopped by a small cemetery right along side of the road that almost seems forgotten, but someone is watching over these graves. Further south, in Carson, I decided to figure out how to get around the construction for the new I-580 freeway to get to the old Stewart Indian School. One of the places Native children were taught European ways. This is one of the buildings in the complex. Next stop was Minden where I went down the old Main St which had retained some of its character from a few decades ago. Unfortunately, new construction removed a few features I really liked, such as the canopy over the old 76 station.

This year is starting off right. Didn't take my bike out as it is both intense sugar sand and not allowed, but did visit the ruin of the Sand Springs Pony Express Station.

So when I got back from my Heaven to Hell ride, I was asked if I got the elevation sign at Badwater. Ugh, I didn't even know about it! So, made a return trip today.
Took Artist Drive on the way back. WOW what a beautiful road. I really want a track set up like this (albeit with safer run offs). On the way back to Beatty, stopped by the old townsite of Rhyolite to get pics of the ruins. And the really neat art work that someone has set up just outside of town. This is titled "The Last Supper".

Thank you. Not bad for a cell phone camera. I hope my new one takes just as good of pics otherwise I am going to have to hold onto this one to use just as a camera.
Err that's 282 feet / 855 meters below sea level. Not sure if I would want to brave 282 miles down. Inyo County in California is a land of extremes, from Badwater (the lowest point in North America) one only has to look 85 miles away to find the highest point in the lower 48, Mt. Whitney at 14,505 ft.

No idea.
North Carolina and Mississippi are the farthest from Florida that I have been in USA, so pics of any place are honey to my eyes.

So, mountains and pine trees, got it!
I travelled to Destin a few times and once got bored after the conference so went on a road trip to Louisiana. Had fun the next day as everyone was talking about the game, or dinner, or a bar, and I'm like "I went to three states!" LOL Sooo glad I had unlimited miles on the rental.

Soon, soon. Still don't trust the passes. There was just enough snow to melt and ice up the shady side of the roads now there's actual snow up there.
Not going to do much local riding as i'm saving up for a vacation but we'll definitely hit the Sierras during the year. Still gotta get you up to 36!

Since my poor bike has been cooped up for two weeks, have to get out and play on this beautiful spring day (Spring in February, right?). Unfortunately, I left my camera on still picture mode so have no video but plenty of pics I normally would not have gotten.

Nope! Massive amounts of wind have blown everything away. Was 20-30MPH gusts all day yesterday.
Also fairly warm, hovering in the low 60's.

Another beautiful day, another ride.
This is a view from Virginia City. The lumpy little mountain in the middle is Sugarloaf. The camera didn't pick it up, but behind the next range with the two dark peaks I could see a few of the higher points covered in snow, the furthest being Desatoya Peak, highpoint of Churchill County and 100 miles away from where I took this shot! The view from the overlook on Geiger Grade between Reno and Virginia City. Looking down at the Truckee River from a pull off on I-80.

Virginia City is fun! Great roads getting out there, especially from the west side, if I remember correctly. One bonus on a Cal24 a few years back was in the old cemetery in that town.

Paved road wise there is Geiger Grade from Reno, Six Mile Canyon from Stagecoach, the Truck Route and Hwy 342 from Moundhouse. Dirt road wise there are even more squirrelly roads that follow old Comstock era routes.
I love heading up into the Virginia Highlands since it is lower than the Sierras so tends to be less snow (though this year is a joke). Tons of bikes out today going both ways. The main cemetary is huge and shows a lot of what life was like back then. There are also a few others scattered around the mountain from other communities or "undesirables" from VC. Reportedly one of the tombstones glows on certain nights.

I wasn't able to find the grave marker that was part of the bonus, so it turned out to be a wasted trip. The roads were great, nevertheless. The cemetery was huge...

That's a bummer! Hope it wasn't too high of a point value.
Hurm, you may have given me an idea for a photo next time I am up there. Old cemetaries are special places, I have fun imaging what each life was like during their time on earth. |

State Route 361. Not quite middle of the state but may as well be. These north south roads between the highways are why I carry so much stuff.
