WALKED OUR BIKES DOWN TO THE CREEK CROSSING. DIDN’T WANT TO CHANCE DROPPING THE BIKE.
CASTLE CREEK IS A SWEET 5 MILE RUN.
FORGOT TO TURN THE CAMERA ON WHEN WE TOOK OFF FROM THE PLACER / CASTLE CREEK JUNCTION, SO I MISSED THE FILMING THE SWITCHBACKS.
ON THE WAY BACK OUT DITTO FLATS WE PASSED SOME ATV’S COMING IN.
THEN I PASSED A GAL ON ATV WITH A DOG ON THE BACK AND KID ON THE FRONT. A FEW HUNDRED YARDS FARTHER THERE WERE TWO OTHER KIDS ON HONDAS , THEN I SAW THE DAD. AS WE WERE LOADING UP THE TRUCK THEY RODE PAST HEADING DOWN WILLOW CREEK ROAD. WE PAST THEM AS WE DROVE OUT AND I SAW THE DAD HAD ANOTHER KID ON HIS BIKE ! THEY MUST LIVE IN NEIGHBORHOOD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE ROAD.
