Its soon going to be M-m-m-m-may..... in Petaluma and Yosemite

Per the last missive from Yoda and Becker, we parted company with those two intrepid lads, who were not content to simply ride south into sunshine, but determined it was too much of a whooosy approach and instead headed back north into the eye of the storm.  JP was looking a tad green at the time and with 4-6 inches of snow forecast for Klamath Falls, it seemed like a wise choice. 

On the other hand (even more fingers), we had to search far and wide for something challenging and rode into a lot of white in the mountains west of Redding. We tried for the honoured double dog dare you crossing and got just what we wanted.  No harm done and several lessons relearned.  You'd be amazed at how much discussion you can tease out of multiple illogical decisions in a row. 

As demonstrated by the photo, as yet unretouched, the weather is better, we're seeing some great country and we'll be headed for more soon, as we turn west toward Yosimiie and then start north through Tahoe and perhaps Crater Lake,    

These tours always contain a bit of adventure and this one has its share.   Take 6+2 Canucks in a bar in Davis, making a lot of noise as we watch the Habs win the 7th game of the playoff series with Washington.    We really know how to push the limits...but we did offer severa l apologies.  Its only Canadian, you know,
