Nice pics Tim. Too bad about Greenville. I’m still planning a hiway 49 ride from down here starting in Oakhurst and going all the way up. It’s nice how a lot of these roads follow the rivers. It’s true in every state I’ve been.
Heading for Mount Lassen

So much snow up here! But they haven't made it over the pass on Mount Lassen yet.

The Cascade Range is well-known for tall cinder cone mountains like Mt Rainer, Mt Baker, Mt Shasta and our ride for today, Mt Lassen. The location of the Cascade Range bordering the western United States along the Pacific Ocean provides for ample moisture in the form of snow on western slopes. Snowfall in the Cascade Range can reach 1000 inches per year – yes, 83 feet of snow over winter months.
Historically, Lassen Volcano has around 430 inches of annual snowfall measured at the Visitor Center at the 6,700 ft level. According to the National Park Service, Lake Helen (just up the road) receives around ~600 to 700 inches of total snowfall

Platina Rd is a ride like that. Parallels a main highway and has some terrific views as we enter more mountainous regions of northern California.
You can see Highway 36 at center of the shot which is famous for its 1800 curves in 140 miles.

For many bikers, NorCal's Highway 36 is like a trip to Mecca. One of the most famous roads in the nation. No towns out here, no people, just nothing. Just endless curves. You have the whole 140 miles to yourself.
Peter was right there with us on his Goldwing. Good rider on a Goldwing and those things can haul the mail.

At the tiny town of Mad River named for the nearby river. The river was named in December, 1849 in memory of an incident when Dr. Josiah Gregg lost his temper when his exploration party did not wait for him at the river mouth. I'd be pissed too.
There's nothing in Mad River, no town, no streets, but there is an old camper they serve burgers out of. They're actually quite good!
