I left burned down West side Sierras and headed to the East to meet some of the Chain Gang riders

Around noon I pulled in to the campsite to find out that everyone is gone somwhere...riding...I hope...From the side cases and beer packs laying around the tents I knew right away I'm in the right place...

I would not mind to have one of those...if the gas prices be a little...no...much more less....

So instead sitting in empty camp site I took a ride on some trails near by...

What a beautiful place!

So after couple of hours exploring and getting some history on local area I headed back to the camp

Stopped to get some groceries...and by the time I came back to camp there were several riders ...

here is a question for you...: "How many Chain Gang members takes to set $10.00 BBQ Grill?"....One?

...maybe Two...

...no ...I would say Three....

...or even four....

Meanwhile the secondary precautions took place in case BBQ grill not going to be ready in time...

JD and his magic rib sauce...

...it's actually working....

Those ribs was delicious!!!

..hamburgers too...

...and italian sausage...and corn...

After the wind carried the BBQ smell through the campsite ...other riders started to gather ...

...

...

...

...

...

Next morning while everyone was still in their tents ...I took a little ride around to shake off a little hangover that last night beer caused...

I love piece and quiet in the morning...

When I returned some guys were up already and planning day trips...

Later that morning after the bikes were repaired and everyone got up...

...we gathered at Tom's Place...

For breakfast

The food was exelent...and coffle not so bad...

Later after breakfast we kind of split up in smaller groups and headed for the ride....

The day was perfect...

We stopped to take a little brake...

...and while we kicked back...

GangPlank demonstrated proper chain adjusting technique...

Rest are some pictures of the rest day ...I'll finish story some time later...my wife is making me to go to the bedroom....

As we found out the welcome center actually burned out just a couple of days before...

...leaving some employees basically ...homeless...
