This ride started about 2 months ago for me. I had just bought a new house and was in the process of some pretty serious renovation on it. I decided that I needed some time away. I put in my time off request for the last 2 weeks in October since the house should be done by the second week, my thinking was go on a week long ride to relax and get away, then return and move in to the the house the second week.
Once I was notified that my time off was approved I began searching for a destination. I stumbled across a thread on ADV rider, 2 friends were going to do a weekend camping trip in the eastern Sierras and had asked if anyone else would be interested in joining them. To me this sounded perfect. E-mails were exchanged, phone calls were made, and it was set!
I left the bay area Thursday morning around 9 with plans to go through Yosemite and over the Tioga pass, which had just reopened the day before.
I hadn't been to Yosemite in years and was amazed by the devastation entering the valley floor from recent fires.
After returning from the valley floor i continued on 120 towards Tioga pass.
a few pictures form along the way.
