A beauty morning on Hwy. 4 heading up towards Ebbett’s Pass

3/4 of an inch in about 20 minutes! That was a doozy of a downpour. Still flashing ⚡️⛈ out there too.

Some pix from our early morning ride to Silver Mountain 🏔 City yesterday. The mornings have been so chill lately…

Winter in Spring? Definitely a California Alps and Sierra Thing!

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

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.

Riding home from town after a meeting I saw this guy on Hot Springs Road. He went up the embankment and looked back at me as I snapped this photo.

Listen up, folks! As we get ready to head out here are a few things you should know.

Is that tree growing sideways?
