(Kirkwood)

Overview of Jenkinson Lake. Most of us had never seen it before. As we rode north on Mormon Emigrant Trail, we could see the snowcapped mountains as we approached Kirkwood. Pix on right doesn't do justice to the gorgeous scenery in Kirkwood.

(Barry)

Another photo of Kirkwood with some of the bikes in foregound at the Shell gas station here. We savored the majestic views for quite awhile before continuing non-stop to Tahoe City. Right photo has Barry standing on deck of the mini-shack as he gazed out upon the Sierra Nevada and filled his lungs with fresh mountain air. In the back was nature's urinal for full bladders.

(Tahoe City)

This here pix on the left was taken from the mini-shack and looks east towards the restaurant and gift shop next to the Shell gas station. Photo on right was taken at the Black Bear joint in Tahoe City. The folks there decided to open early for us as a private party which was very, very kewl of them.

(Grumbler & Steve)

(Nevada City Brewery)

Grumbler and Steve sitting on patio of Black Bear discussing the relative merits of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Sierra Nevada Stout while Ken Pon and Mike Plant ponder how to avoid getting stiffed with the tab. Over in the right piccie is Nevada City Brewery which was closed so, in a fit of rage, a number of hardcore bikers decided to piddle all over the property. So that's how we pissed away the day. =8^)
