Heh, I'll have to look you guys up next spring when I go out to see my
dad. He's in a home in Sonora, and I make it out there twice a year to
see him(just got back a couple of weeks ago).
Up to now, I've spent most of my spare time on those trips out there in
Jackson, sitting in the kitchen of a friend from the Harley newgroup,
drinking his beer.
Might be interesting to hook up and see some back country with you
guys(and maybe drink some of*your* beer<g>).

And yes, I *usually* bring more than I drink...

You are also welcome to forego the beer and sitting around, and do what
Honda riders do, go for a long ride over the pass, have lunch, and come back
over another pass, without stopping at any bike dealerships. Bring your dad,
if he's able.
We rode over Tioga pass a few weeks ago and then back over Sonora pass. It
won't be long before snow closes them for winter.

Well, if I ever had my bike when I was out there, we wouldn't be
sitting in the kitchen drinking beer. RE's got a route that he likes
to ride that takes in the 4 northern most passes. Tioga, Sonora, and
whichever the next two north are. Unfortunalty, I'm usually in a
rental car because I fly out.
I wish Dad could go, but last year was the last time we could take him
out...he's 96 now and not in any shape to go anywhere, anymore. It's a
damn shame, too, because he used to really love getting off the roads
back up in the woods.
Next year(well actually, next month)we'll be back to where both of us
have vacation time(we both switched jobs within the last year). We've
been giving thought to bringing the bikes out and actually enjoying
some of the great riding out there.

Up here in the Adirondacks, I also prefer not to drive my YJ in the snow, or
more specifically, on snowy roads covered with salt. I feel my Saturn FWD is
much better in the vast majority of conditions, and infinitely safer in a
collision. However, I will take it out on those days when it is cold and the
roads are dry - just to keep the battery charged, the tires round, and the
seals working. This isn't necessary, but I find it easier than winterizing &
storing it. As long as it is in your garage, why not use it when conditions
permit?
