What day is it anyway?

It's saturday. I missed calling my brother John it was his birthday yesterday. I'm about 2 @ 1/2 states behind. So what! I am in Gunnison CO. Now it was just too cold to go another 74 miles. That would have givien me a 400 mile day and pehaps made up a little time. Gunnison is one of the coldest places in the country. So today is new and the sun is shinning. All pictures of Utah

Day 2 Hwy 50 motorcycle ride for vasculitis.

Day two a little worse than day one. I left Nevada City CA just before 10 o'clock. Had an easy ride down to Placerville, where hwy 50 starts. Just about 1/2 hour into the ride I found out that hwy 50 was closed due to land slide problems. I was sure the old man I talked to was wrong about the hwy. So I am climbing up to about 3000 ft. and I see the weather getting worse. I stop for info at a gas station and find a detour. Its not the easiest road to follow, mostly local roads. I was wondering at time if I'd ever make it to state hwy 88 and in to lake Tahoe. Was not to be. The snow and ice began falling and I was force to turn around. I wasn't making the best time today either with all the detours and rain/ice/ snowy roads.

 So I am stuck at the moment in Pioneer CA. got a hotel and I am hoping that the weather is good for motorcycling tomorrow. From what I hear though.. more snow!
