March ride [page 3]
Chris says: We rode up the hill, around the bend (not 300 yards), and
encountered the same stream, same situation but with sufficient differences
that (we mutually agreed), called for a 'Wendy'. Deep, slick 'goo' on the
far side, the narrower crossing (read deeper/faster water) lead to
our decision and the 26 mile 'Wendy'. Lower Lake would have to wait.
Chris says: Aetna Springs was a resort establishment abandoned some time in
the late 40's, early 50's and is accessed by a paved dead-end road. We
rode-up to take a look. Somebody is working to bring it back, a couple
buildings have been restored, but lots yet to go.
There's a golf course across the street, little one, I'd guess only a
'nine-holer'. The stone work here gives a hint as to this place's past 'glory'.
The remaining photos are of San Francisco and the Golden Gate bridge from the Marin Headlands. Chris and I stopped here on our way home.
