I started my work-week on Sunday, and hope to make my appearance for this year’s Cedarville pilgrimage on Friday evening. :ride

I have a vague plan to finally find the NV watchtower on Yellow Hill, or whatever it’s called …

we’ll see … :facepalm

We took my wife's new Subaru up there last year. It's a cool road!

Is this Payne Peak?

I was looking at this earlier and for sure plan to ride up there. Looks like it's ten miles from town.

yep, that's it ... if things go according to plan, I'll try to ride up there on Saturday morning, leaving about 4:45am from the fairgrounds for a 6:03-ish sunrise. :ride

Oh No!
A moving target surprise birthday party for my Sister-in-law, in Medford OR, has "materialized" based on her kids making it in from Arkansas. They have chosen the 7'th (tomorrow) thru the weekend to surprise her.
When I heard this, my plea to the wife that I needed to go to Cedarville was met with ... cold resistance. You all know "that" look.

But... Resistance Is Futile!
I'll be there some time Friday!
Looks like it's about 3 1/2 hours from Medford.

Plan is to drive the truck/trailer with bike (& wife) to Medford tomorrow.
Surprise my Sister-in-law tomorrow eve.
Then Friday I'll leave my wife at her SIL's (Surprise #2).
She'll ride back to the bay area with her niece on Monday.
I'll ride around Cedarville until Sunday then spend another week or two going... somewhere(???).
I'll have a kayak, a SUP board, my eMTB and the Trail 125.
Adventure awaits!

That sounds like a win......little busy for an old guy, but you get around pretty well for 72?

I was expecting you to be here already like usual.

Happy birthday!
 
Mr @Cabrito and myself were treated to the moon rising last night up on Payne Peak:

I had totally forgotten what a wonderful unobstructed view Payne Peak affords to the west of Mt Lassen, about 200 miles away …

Ms Tracie and Mr @CrazyCooter treated us to a wonderful tri-tip dinner when we got back from our ride last night … :love
 
Those are amazing pictures Cabrito and SFMCjohn! Have a great time you all!
