There is the delineater.....and an indenture off the edge. I hope it wasn't anyone we know. :o I understand that the road is closed a good portion of the year. Lynn said he moved his tour time back a couple of weeks after getting snow while up here and having to ride down to the park gates in the snow. They were the last to leave the park before the road was closed. I don't want any part of that!

No picture for this one. We were too busy holding on! There was a wind sock at the top of the pass. I thought it was for helicopters or planes. Supposedly it was for vehicles. I believe that too. The wind was so strong that I could hardly hold the bike on the road. One rider said he thought he was going to have to lay the bike down to keep from going over! Of course that was not the case and everyone made it over just fine.

We stayed in the little town of Bridgeport. Its a nice small town that apparently relies on fishing. we all got together and at at a little bar and pool hall called Rhino's. Excellent food and service. If you go through here stop in and enjoy a good meal.

Breaking out of the mountains to Lake Tahoe. Tahoe turned out to be a bit tourist for me personally. I would compare it with Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge for us on the east coast.
We stopped at a shopping plaza for lunch. The parking lot here was pretty much a free for all. It was not designed for "traffic flow". On the way out a pickup ran into the back of one of our street glides. Broken tail light, dented fender and banged up bag but no injury. After the delay, we headed out to a less crowded area of the lake that Lynn knew.
