Just heard from a reliable source (CalTrans) that Monitor Pass will be closing Saturday at 4:00 p.m. PT due to the impending storm. Fingers crossed we'll get lots of snow!

Hwy 4 at Raymond Meadow Creek on Friday. Gate closed but not for long we suspect. 🤞#ebbettspass

A few shots taken during our recent gravel forays in Grover Hot Springs State Park. Sure is pretty here right now! #gravel #markleevilleca

Happy ‘Cicle Sunday!

Just a wee bit of snow last night. That’s our deck rail just peeking out. Over 2 feet in about 12 hours!

Happy bluebird day!

One of the benefits of being the lantern rouge – good photos like this. Shyanne, Kona, Java, Chris and Sam ahead of me in the meadow just to the west of Tamarack Peak.

Paintbrush off Hwy 4. Deathride 2019

What the what? This sand is tough to ride in/on. Makes me sweat.

The fall colors were rocking. The wind was just a bit of a breeze. The cars had taken a hiatus and it was just a picture perfect day.

Smiling and ready to race!
