On this day, I departed Rancheria Campground on Huntington Lake, California and rode the very scenic Huntington Lake Road which had some terrific mountain views and somewhat sketchy road in some spots. Then I headed towards Fresno, CA on California Highway 168.
This is where this video ends as the remainder of the day was mostly freeway and interstates all the way to Azusa, CA where I camped at the Crystal Lake Camp Grounds.
Ride from Stockton California to Huntington Lake California where I camped for the night. Much of the days ride was on CA Highway 99 which leaves much to be desired scenery wise. However, the ride back into the mountains was had some nice scenery and enjoyable riding.
In this video I ride the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe and head back into California, and ride through Historic Downtown Truckee, California. I wrap up the video riding back to camp at Cottonwood Creek Campground.
This video also wraps up Day 7, seemed like a week worth’s of video LOL.
Lake Tahoe area is truly spectacular and worth a visit. I hope to return some day and maybe chill more near the lake (probably won’t be a motorcycle trip next time).
In this video, I take a scenic ride around a portion of Lake Tahoe from Kings Beach, CA to Emerald Bay State Park Lookout on the western side of the lake.
Lake Tahoe is such beautiful lake with crystal clear water. While the video and pictures are very nice, it still does not compare to how it looks in person.
In this video I go on a scenic ride within the Tahoe National Forest on California Highway 89 from Cottonwood Creek Campground to Truckee, California.
On this day, I rode a scenic ride from my camp at Cottonwood Creek Campground to Donner Pass and back while stopping in Truckee, CA to grab some groceries for the evenings meals, tacos!
Yet another day where my camera angle was less than desired, not a total waste but disappointing that much of the view was missed. If and whenever I return to the Lake Tahoe region, I will be sure to record better footage.
The ride up to Donner pass and the views from the pass were impressive….AND WINDY lol.
Today is one week until my USA Midwest 2023 trip begins. It has been three years since I have done a long distance trip. I did a regional trip from Atlanta (Douglasville, GA) to Charlotte of 685 miles and a regional from Atlanta (Douglasville, GA) to Myrtle Beach of 793 miles in 2021. I did not do any riding in 2022 at all due to working a second job that I quit in December 2022 (one year part time warehouse work) – have to pay for my toys (and never-ending home projects) somehow.

On Day 2 Part 2, I ride from the Golden Gate Bridge – San Francisco north on US Highway 101 thru the California Redwoods and end the day at Burlington Campground in Humboldt State Park – Weott, CA.
I camped 3 nights at this campground nestled among the California Redwoods.
On day 3, I explored the Lost Coast and on day 4 rode the Avenue of Giants south to Legget, CA to ride thru Chandler Tree.
Ride through Zion National Park on my way back home to California (where I lived at the time).
I ride through Zion National Park in the late evening on Day 9 of my Utah Loop 2019 Trip
I depart my campsite at Hi-Road Campground, which is just outside of Zion National Park. It was interesting riding through the park so late in the day as the setting sun makes interesting lighting contracts on the canyon walls and mountain tops.
