Tioga Pass
We went over the pass yesterday. If you are heading that way, word to the wise, bring something warm. It was 80 when we left Bridgeport and 82 when we got home. Silly me forgot my chaps, had to pick up some base layer thermals at the store in Lee Vining before heading back up there.
This is what it looks like up at the top now

I went over it in very late May or early June 1978. The road had just been plowed and the snow was 15 feet high on the side of the road. There was only one parking area plowed where we pulled on the long johns. This was around 10 at night. We didn't camp in Yosemite Valley because the meadows were flooded from the snow melt. Just one part of the best ride of my life.

In Bridgeport, we went to the Travertine Hot Springs, had a little "oopsie" on the dirt road coming out of there. I'm not sure I would ride my Harley on that road again... But the Hot Springs were nice. I might post some more pics once I get them loaded.
