IMG 8298  Mules Ears were everywhere blooming like crazy on this route. One of my only regrets of the ride was not stopping to take a picture in one spot where they and some other wildflowers were taking over a burn scar. IMG 8300 IMG 8302 IMG 8303  Adam did a good job picking the site. IMG 8306  Living life. IMG 8308
IMG 8309  Heading out of camp. Stopped to get the snow-capped peak in the distance. IMG 8310  Looking back over Boca Reservoir. IMG 8311 IMG 8314 IMG 8315 IMG 8316  49.2mpg Not bad.
IMG 8317  There were SO MANY signs on the front of this building sending you around to this side for the restrooms. And then, no restrooms for you! IMG 8318 IMG 8319 IMG 8321 IMG 8322  Made with pride. IMG 8327
IMG 8329  Bikes are starting to come apart. I cannot recall why. IMG 8330  Pro: Lovely little lake Con: Epic mosquito breeding ground. IMG 8331 IMG 8332  Webber Lake. Southeast of Sierraville. Make a note of it. IMG 8333 IMG 8334  Gotta figure out a way to secure the sleeping bag to the back of the dry bag instead of the top.
IMG 8335  Clear signs people camp here and have clandestine campfires. IMG 8337  Remembers to leave visor open for selfie this time. IMG 8343  Lots of these up here. IMG 8344  Replenishing.  Cuz being out of plenish is bad, right? IMG 8347  St. Charles Place IMG 8348
IMG 8349  50mpg IMG 8350  We really enjoyed this place when last we were here. But now it only does private parties. Bah. IMG 8351  We roll the dice. IMG 8352 IMG 8354  Halibut special tasted ok but was a bit dry and overcooked. IMG 8356
IMG 8358  Spumoni is not served before its time here. IMG 8359 IMG 8361  How to entertain yourselves at the Gold Pan Lodge. IMG 8362 IMG 8363  This chair has issues. IMG 8364
IMG 8365  You may expel that breath forcefully when the hot water stops and you have to finish your shower with straight cold water.  Not in any hurry to return to this motel after that. It was pretty marginal to begin with. IMG 8366  Hawk's room had this.
