08-09-21 Kings Canyon Tulare CA

[johnny]

we slabbed it to lemon cove where we picked up the j 21 which turned out to be a good 2 up road rolling through the sierra foothills...







we found ourselves in badger where we picked up 245 to the 180...



the 245 is a good 2 up road with lots of scenery climbing to about 6000 feet at pinehurst...





we skipped the big trees for the canyon... kings canyon is one of the most beautiful works of mother earth that we have experienced...  t was a beautiful clear and crisp day... except for some smoke way off into the hills there...







we run it out to the roads end following the kings river most of the way... i wish this road punched on through to the 395... if it did it would blow all other sierra mountain passes away... but since its no yosemite... and since it dead ends... there is no traffic and unmeddled...















our camera just cant capture the majesty of this place...







back tracking out of the canyon... back to civilization...



























we have passed by these gravity pumps before... this time we had to stop to top off...







then back to tulare down the 180 and the 63...

greetings mystic red...

this ride was from 2008... the price3 was $5 per gallon with a 5 gallon minimum...

we were getting to roll away when the old dude said the 5 gal min didnt apply to motobricks... so i gotts 1 gallon of ethyl for the cause...

yesterday we didnt stop... but im guessing it way over $5 now...
