    have had similar experiences but usually a may thing. the climbing in this shot wasn't too scary. Retrieving the stuck rope after was.

    I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

    We found decent coverage on the highway side of No Name. A couple of snow drifts on the road which are probably melted out by now.

    We rode up from the 395 side. You can drive up to the usual gate before the summit.

    Any idea if you can cross the creek at the big switchback west of the summit?

    Shit, I told Mikey I'd hit the hills the following weekend, but I'm going to try to switch to this weekend.

    Gonna be quite hot this weekend (high of 60 at 10k). Let's hope we've fully transitioned to a corn cycle by then. Was planning to hit Shasta this weekend but with 70 mph gusts in the forecast (at 11k) and the fresh opening might pivot to Sonora.
