| Bumpass Hell in
Lassen is like a small Yellowstone with Gysirs
and boiling mud ponds. It is a little hidden
in a valley and to reach it one has to hike
for about 45 minutes from the parking lot. |

| Lake Tahoe would actually
be a very beautiful lake, but since its banks
are totally covered with huge villas it is
nearly impossible to see the lake, let alone get
to it. It nearly is a private lake for
millionairs, nothing for us. |

|
 |
| The El Dorado Natinal Forest
is a beautiful ride and offers even more
beautiful views. And all of that at close to
zero traffic. |

 |
| We visited Gail and Russell
Lee (worldtrippers.com)
at their self built 'Hill Top House' near
Jackson, CA. They had visited us in Germany in
2002 on their trip around the world, and I had
visited them at the
house/construction site in 2005. |
 |
|
 |
| We stayed 3 days with the Lee's
and also used our time there to plan
the rest of our trip as well as to do some
maintenance on the bikes. |

|
 |
| The driveway to the 'Hill Top
House' is a nearly one mile long, steep gravel
road, which Jayne called the "Highland House
Off-Road Adventure™". She has not much
experience with gravel yet and was not happy
about the driveway. |
