Moto Trip 2

After visiting the Redwoods, the rains came in so I pulled stakes a day early and rode down to Arcata, CA on the scenic coast route 101. Sometimes the unplanned is just as fun! The town is a cute college town with a town square, bookstores ❤️ and great places to eat! I stayed at the historic Hotel Arcata which was elegant in a downplayed way and had delicious Sushi in their restaurant, Tomo. I departed the next morning for the Trinity Alps, heading west. I stopped at Weaverville, CA ranger station after a very twisty ride through mountains to get info on hiking in the area. Most of the alpine trailheads are accessible by rutted dirt roads which is not an option for the trike. But found a few that I could access. I stayed at a very rustic uncrowded campground on Trinity Lake. The first night it rained! It’s loud in a tent but I stayed dry. The next two days were gorgeous. After Trinity Alps I rode south through Redding and Oroville in the valley where it got very warm and had to make a few hydration stops. It was a long day of riding and I then pulled into the town of Grass Valley. Adorable town in the foothills of Sierra Nevada. Had a great middle easter meal at MeZe and taro ice cream! OmG so good! I stayed at a really lovely Inn in Grass Valley. I’m onto Lake Tahoe now when I’ll see my Cousin (once removed) Luke Eberle and his partner Sarai!Weiterlesen
