Relands, Ca to Alturas, Ca. 663 miles
Out of Redlands and out of the valley, to highway 395 and heading North towards home. The ride through the Mojave was its usual visual ride with many of rock formations, lava flows, and desert vegetation with Joshua trees and various types of cactus. A lot of traffic at times and a lot of motorcycles as people were going to Street Vibrations in Reno, the 4th largest motorcycling gathering in the world. We had lunch at Whiskey Jacks in Bishop, always a worthwhile stop. The area around Mono Lake and beyond, spectacular as usual. We hit Carson City and Reno at rush hour which put us begind, and we were traveling after dark from Susanville to Alturas, so did not get to see that part of the country well, but the full moon did help. We arrived tired, but with reservations that had been set up by Francie, and then a meal at a Basque restaraunt, were ready for our last nights sleep on the road. We awoke to frost on the bikes, and all the bugs from last night frozen to the windshields. Ah, the northwest.
