Not much to report. I took the bike off the car and emptied the ice chest then went shopping at the grocery store for a few food items then filled the car gas tank. I will take a bit of a nap then leave bout 6:00 to go meet Dan at Snow Creek Village near I-10 at Cabezon.

I left here about 5:30 and made a quick stop at Walmart in Yucca Valley. I got to Snow Creek Village at 6:50. Dan was sitting by the side of the road, early as usual. We stopped in Yucca Valley for burgers on the way home. Dan is taking a shower now and will hit the rack when he is finished.

Below is a photo of the north face of Mount San Jacinto taken from Snow Creek Village. This is supposedly the highest and steepest contiguous face in the lower 48 states, rising almost 10,000 feet in about 5 miles. The photograph does not do it justice, the scarp towers over one from where I took the picture. It is a view that leaves one with a good understanding of how small and insignificant we humans are, in spite of our over inflated egos and sense of importance. We are just so many small critters wandering around on this earth.
