The trip report is on page 3

At the entrance of Lassen Volcanic National Park you can visit a museum, and turning right, the park store.

You can camp on the park as well.

We enjoy the park so much that you change our trip plans:

Instead of going thru the park and back from Hwy 89, we decide to go back from the inside road of the park again.

We gave the K1200LT internet group card to this couple from Sacramento area. They didn't know about our group.

The park is great for bird watching

That road is great...

Now we are at McArthur-Burney Falls State Park

It's about 45 miles north of Lassen park, and before get there we had lunch in Burney, a small town, where we got provisions for the night dinner.

Many people fly fishing at McArthur-Burney Falls State Park

You must be tough to ride a bike with a tractor seat...

At our camp site we fire the grill for our dinner and had the surprise of having Rick Mayer as our neighbor, with his buttmobile and family.

Rick made the seats for my both K1200LT and he is one of the best craftsman for this job.

If you ever need a custom bike seat, talk with him.

We had a great evening chatting with him and his family.

On the way back we pass thru Reno and from there to Virginia City.

Virginia City is a preserved old town and worthy a visit.

Who is Elton

I was born in Brazil and moved to USA, California in 1996. Took me some time to learn the language and get into this country, but I think now I'm doing quite well. I became an American citizen in late 2007.
I love to travel and by the time I was writing this page, I had logged more them 140.000 miles on the motorcycles I have/had. My current bikes are one 2002 BMW K1200LTe and one 2003 BMW R1150GS. Also there are many more miles on my car and much more on airplane trips.
Winter I try to do Snowmobile. Summer is time for water sports (PWC) and I motorcycle year around (one of the benefits of living in sunny California)
