After a couple weeks of rain we had a break in the weather, what a beautiful day. Turnout was a bit low but the three of us (me, myself and I) had a really good time.
With a chilly start to the day at 36 I was glad to have my Timmy's and hot Java while stopped in the Sutter Buttes.
Nancy's was busy but they always have room for the Hippo out front.New young buck cooking and he needs more practice but still worth the ride.
That's okay because beef, it's what for dinner. That house on the hill has a killer 360 view!
One of the reason's I like to ride in the Elk Creek area is that it is an area time forgot (I'm sure the locals prefer it that way) and gives a good perspective on life in California and the cattle ranch from the past.
A stop at the Black Butte reservoir is peaceful and reminds me of eastern Oregon and Washington with all the volcanic rock in the area.
Part of what makes this ride so enjoyable is I have to cross the northern central valley which grows lots of rice in the summer and the fields are flooded for overwintering birds from parts well north of here. The Sandhill Crane is just an amazing creature standing over 4' tall and a wing span up to 7.5' but they don't cotton to strangers. I was able to walk up about 200 feet from these 3
At that point they said that's close enough Mr, we are out of here. That's the north side of the Sutter Buttes in the background
A nice sub 300 mile day and home before dark.
