I woke up around 10am after a long night doing a show with the band and decided that I would go on a dual sport ride by myself. So, I packed up and headed out around noon when it was a 107 degrees at my house. About a half hour later and I was up in the hills and the temps were dropping. Once above 5000 ft. it was about 85 with a nice breeze. Perfect for dual sporting.
My first stop was at a beautiful lake at about 5500 ft. elevation. This is always my first stop when I head up that direction.
I love the moss that grows on the trees at high elevation. Also decided that it was time for the
beer and bowl session to enhance the experience. Man, I love Nor Cal!
Next up I thought I would explore a little fire road action behind the lake and see where it takes me.
Ended up finding this really well maintained fire Lookout tower.

There is still some snow lingering at about 6300 ft.
