Don Amador on Mendocino NF
Exploring less-traveled backcountry forest roads on a
dual-sport or adventure motorcycle is one of the reasons that riders, in
growing numbers, have taken up the sport.

Because of the increased precipitation this spring in
California’s Northern Coastal Range, adventure riders can experience a wide
array of natural wonders that await them along the route.
High elevation meadows that have been brown for the last
4-5 years are now a lush green color.
Douglas Fir and other conifers are sprouting new growth. The Dogwood Trees are in bloom.

Depending on the elevation, you will see a lot of
California Valley or Mountain Quail. Deer
antlers are now covered in thick velvet.
Many Blue Oaks have dense foliage and look healthier than
folks can remember. Ponderosa Pines are
looking good too.
QWR just wanted to share a few photos and some thoughts
from a recent trip on the Mendocino National Forest in the hopes that some of
you will take the opportunity to explore and enjoy some of our natural
treasures in 2016.
See you on the trail.
Thank You Don !
