I’m not able to make this trip, but I think the plan is for a late Sunday return.

Wow...excellent run across Placer Mountain, beautiful weather for camping out.
We installed a plaque for Jim on top of the mountain with a gloroius look-out view across the valley.
The second day involved an amazing run over Crater mountain, lots of wild life & great views for miles around. We even had time for rewiring Dave T's engine harness after a electrical fire!
And still home in time for a (little late) Father day dinner...

cheers,

Andy :D
