We have not ridden the Cherry Lake Loop in likely 15 years, it was delightful

It has a few twists and turns

Much to our surprise, a lot of the northern leg has recent re-paving

I first discovered this ride 25 years ago in the late 90s. I was using one of the first panoramic cameras you could buy. The film was so expensive to get developed, I took shots sparingly. It was about $1 per photo to get these photos developed.

How it looked in the late 90s after a recent fire

Same spot today

Lots of water stuff going on, as in collecting, transporting. This is where San Francisco gets their water. All the water for San Francisco is from snowmelt, collected here, then piped across the state to reservoirs outside the city.

Quick stop near the summit on Cherry Lake Rd

We had two Hypers on this ride. Paul had his set up for travel, and the other Hyper had over 100k miles on it.

This region is right outside the northern boundary of Yosemite NP

Stop and smell the roses? Lupine maybe

They are starting to look Hangry, thinking I had better feed them to keep them happy
