this weekend was closing day at n*, but also had the feeling in was one of the last weekends for riding at higher elevation. snow has been coming in every couple of days.

Saturday we hit up the flume trail. It's a ride I only like at the very beginning or end of the season when I don't have to worry about a ton of people on the trail. We did it as a 20 mile out and back. Not technical, but very scenic.


the leaves are a changin


marlette lake




cold and wet slopiness




ben pointing over to our house


pretty views of Jules and I riding along







Sunday we decided to go up for the free hamburgers at Northstar for closing weekend.

It was the busiest day i've ever seen there:


buffy:


snow and wetness.




and Sunday after saying our goodbyes to Northstar and my summer friends I seem to see only at Northstar, we decided to go out and ride our bikes some more that evening.

more snowiness


and jimw on some rocks (ps Jim, I have a bunch more rocky pictures to upload still I'll send you)


getting dark. sun is setting.... time to get to T's for some chicken tacos before heading home.




and now it's time for me to start thinking about the snow. we got a couple of more inches over night.

Chicken tacos from T's? How can you not go w/ the Carnitas burrito? :shocked: Awesome pics. Not sure which I miss more out there, the burritos or the dirt...

so. tahoe
Mr. Amy is really revealing his white trash nature:
I've been the mtns for too long... I didn't even realize until this week that somehow the Red Sox are now the 'cool' team to be a fan of and the 'Yankees' are the cool team to want to loose.

Don't worry, I'll bring my arsenal of trucker hats to D-ville this weekend. Luckily Amy forgot to post night time pictures of beers, big brim hats, and movie premiers.

i would take the riding out here over the food.

i miss east coast food more than anything.

but as for T's..... I spice it up. Sometimes I go for the tri-tip sandwich or the chicken burrito or the 1/4 chicken.....
