That smoke cloud was from the Tahoe fire. Right where I wanted to go..... sigh...<br /><br />Even the ride over 80 was smoky, the wind had changed and blowing the smoke north.<br />I had a backup plan of getting on 49 south at Auburn, but was afraid the smoke was going to kill that plan.<br /><br />Down and down I went (sounds like a song... GBG) and by time I got to Auburn, it was decent air, so off down 49 I went. The route from Auburn to Cool (real name) was as crooked as they come!!! The further south, the better it got. Glad I didn't take the super slab home, much better ride!!!<br /><br />So ends another HSVROC!!! On to the Fools ride!!! I fit!!!!
