Sure nice to see some water there, Charlie. That was a rough few years down there......First time I ever saw Mt. Shasta with no snow.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

The snow was pretty and I didn't really try to do the tour around the lake. I didn't see or look for roads to do so as I was interested in seeing how far and long it would take me to go up , have lunch and come. 282 miles by my clock and 272 by MapQuest in 6:45 minutes. That included 45 minute lunch, and a long gas stop, two bee sting checks (ouch!!!). They really must have liked me at the park as they gave me a lifetime pass to come back and visit....Well I paid $10 bucks and can visit any park for free now!!!

If you squint real hard you can see Mt Shasta over Upper Klamath Lake.

So a friend stopped by and I helped her clean up her bike and get it ready for her riding season. She let me take it for a ride after, so I did. A 30 mile loop on a warm afternoon so this was my ride for the day('04 Fatboy). Hey, I'm game and enjoy trying different bikes out and appreciated her offer. But she thought I would be convinced after to run out and buy a real bike...a Harley. No thanks. Big, heavy, not very comfortable after awhile. Over 70mph when I took a short highway stretch, my eyeballs started vibrating in their sockets, the after market pipes giving me a headache, and the the mini apes tiring my arms and wrist. I've ridden enough Harleys to know that I'll never buy one for $17k or $23k or even $5k. Happy to share her ride though I sent her on her way.
