Made it to Jarbidge. NVBDR complete!

Last night next to a small creek on Section 6

Met some friends on the trail

This morning didn’t suck

No fly for this guy

Meanwhile, tonight’s camp:

Worrying will give you wrinkles.. Oh Wait!

Don’t forget coolers, ez-ups and the live band

I hope “Food supplies” means a large supply of your famous Udo Plum Potion from last year!!

Made it to Austin and going to start the big push to Elko. Camping on the trail tonight.

https://ridebdr.com/cabdr-north/ Northern California Backcountry Discovery Route After years in development and numerous re-routes due to devastating forest fires, the Northern California Backcountry Discovery route is finally nearing completion. Unlike the Southern California BDR, which is arguably one of the more challenging routes, the NorCal main route was scouted with the first time BDR rider in mind. Our Mid-Atlantic BDR is one of our milder BDR’s, and our most popular. The NorCal BDR is positioned to be the West Coast equivalent in terms of route difficulty. That’s not to say this route is without its challenges. Its advanced sections will deviate from the main route for miles and offer some of the longest, sustained advanced terrain on any BDR. The dirt to tarmac ratio is about 70/30 but the pavement we found is some of the best peg scraping twisties anywhere, in any state. Oh, and just in case you were wondering, virtually no sand (unless you choose to challenge your skills on the numerous advanced sections). The NorCal route is one that seasoned BDR riders can invite their “new to BDR” friends or family to; and have a wonderful time on its flowing two track roads and gravel tracks through dense pine forests and burned sections that are eerily majestic. Explore relics of mining towns of the past, delve into California history and geologic wonders and ascend countless peaks to fire lookouts with endless views of the route below. The route affords the BDR rider the ability to camp at the end of every day or bed down for the night at historic Inns and Hotels — some dating back to the 1880’s, yet still in operation today. The towns are quaint and scenic, tucked away between the folds of the High Sierra. This is a route to be savored. Many dirt and gravel roads on the route are ones on which to relax, take in the superlative views, chat with friends on your headsets and all the while scratching your helmet in wonderment thinking, “This can’t be California!”

I assume it will start at Benton Hot Springs where the SoCal BDR ends. There is a road off the 120 that heads north towards Bodie (east of Mono). The actual ride directly around Mono is sandy and kind of whooped out (at least on the south side). I bet there will be some nice views of Lassen farther up. This BDR will be new country to most Californians which is kind of cool.

I drove out last year with firewood and it was a Great time with the group, even with @tntbromo there

looks like prime country for a big tank and big miles! thanks for sharing. did the storm come thru like expected?

No clue personally but I bet it goes by Mono Lake and Bodie Ghost Town then up to Bridgeport but that is likely just Stage 1. From the sounds of it, could be a Desert X Rippppppa

Mr @Zubb the snow is melted Right Now!! Let's Go!

But with there be SAUSAGES

Yes!!! Great times. Great people. Yes, YOU need to go too!!

NVBDR movie Full length with Johnny Campbell. Filmed "early Oct" 2017 Enjoy!

Issue Resolved: @Zubb procured one and received a burrito in exchange!
