I’m a lot more concerned with smoke and fire, but so far the Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks have managed to dodge those problems so far.

I’m doing the hotel thing this trip, but I plan to spend some time at the camping venue after the Saturday ride learning what I can about what kind of moto-camping equipment you folks use. I used to have backpacking and car camping gear, but most of that was stolen when a storage unit was broken into, so I basically have to start over and I’d like to start with the right stuff.

Question about the Saturday Sequoia Loop ride:

The Kings Canyon Scenic Byway is widely considered to be one of the best scenic drives in California, and I’m curious why we’re leaving the majority of it out of the Saturday ride? Including all of it to the east end of CA-180 would only increase the ride length (from the motel and back) from 135 to 203 miles. Yeah, we’d go out and back on the same road, but it’s a different ride when you’re going the opposite direction.

I’ll be there and I’m bringing blueberry muffins. I’d bring my lawn darts too, but I can’t find ’em. 😉
