Well, sorry I missed this one. Great stuff as usual. But your description of "weekend warriors" in camp is one of the main reasons that I try to do get all my time in during the weekdays. I'll be shooting for the second week in August, or the week following the delivery of my toyhauler, whichever happens first.
Just opened this today, what a small world/coincidence that DB has a write up about Adventure bikes...4 of them, most noted in your thread...the only one missign is the Yamaha whatever...cool stuff...great RR!
last time i rode KM was on an air cooled Maico... excellent report as usual and yes we are all jealous.
Sorry, I know it's bad message board form to just be a newb at the site and ask for a location, but I'm planning a Jeep / camping trip with the kids to Monache in August and that's obviously not looking so good - I was wondering where this spot is at? : Also, is it campable right at the pad? Just trying to make sure the kids have a great camping trip and this definitely looks like a cool spot to be if Monache's not available. GPS coords would be great, if available.. Thanks in advance and I apologize again for the poor message board etiquette.
No worries, we are a laid back and helpful group. Someone will probably give you an answer soon, I've never been there.
That pad is at one of the sites in Troy Meadows Overflow. All of them are good back there. Another of our favorites is just south of there, a big circle with a long drive and a canopy of trees. Really nice if it's hot up there. We are planning to be up Aug 11-14, will camp at Troy. We got snow in July a couple of years ago.
Here we are at that site in 2003: If you look close you can see Tam and Eric at the very left of the image. Gosh that was a long time ago now...I was riding a GasGas 250, it had a plate! I shoulda never sold that thing.
Thanks for the info - much appreciated. We were looking at going the same weekend; if you didn't already know, you'll be in for a treat : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perseids
Hey, very cool, a meteor shower!! We were to Monache by jeep in '05. Here's flyfishing for golden trout on the kern right at the edge of Golden Trout Wilderness. Top of Sherman Pass Lookout, 9900'. Wife and kido, he's now 16 years old and rides a WR250F. Jeep is sold now, just bikes. Sorry Tam, didn't mean to hijack your cool RR thread.
Oh Yeah, loved the pics. I will be coming to california next week, but, no biking....darn, have to welcome the baby into the world from daughter #1. Thanks for all these great pics and stories.
Great report again woodsy, I have not been here lately but still riding. The SM610 has both sets of shoes now like I wanted. Going up to KM some time in Aug.
What can i say --Awesome RR and your pics just seem to get better by the shoot I need to do a RR soon --just been so busy riding and taking photo's lately that i have not had the time to do one --keep it up
