Title: Week End over Sherman Pass
Post by: Mike 86 in San Dimas on September 09, 2017, 11:24:55 AM
Joined Mopar Man Steve, and FJ Monkey Mark for week end ride. Met at the base of Angeles Crest Highway then off to Summit of Sherman Pass from Hwy 395 side over into Kernvillle. All the way on routes that Steve is an artist at finding.  
We saw beautiful Motorcycles

it was a good ride --- a nice place to cool off once you get up into the Meadow and Sierras.   Great 3 day weekend ride.   We will add this

We got the rain at the hotel, so we did not have to ride in it. As quick as it came it, it left just as fast. Might be due to the fire close by as they can affect weather. Steve also took a short vid during this time of a guy practicing his Kayak skills in the pool.
