Smoky ride
Posted: Sun Aug 18, 2013 9:08 pm
Hoped to get a glimpse of some firefighting from Big Valley Bluff since the American fire has slopped over Whiskey Hill across Foresthill Road. Despite clearer air east of Cisco Butte, the North Fork Canyon was socked in. The smoke wasn't so bad to not ride, so I poked around on some roads I haven't seen in awhile.
I discovered FR-19 got a makeover - best it's been since I started riding it in 2007. From Lake Valley Reservoir up to the Big Valley cross road they've graded and fixed the drainage along the way. Bad thing is that it's as dusty as any road I've ridden. Oh well. Looks like some prep for logging. The outfit is the same as the one that fixed up Bowman Lake Road on the lower section.
