Tonight on the Discovery Channel picked up a new show called Mountain Marines. It shows the marines training for mountain warfare up at the Mountain Warfare Training Center on Sonora Pass, about sis miles east of its junction with US395. I mention the show in part because it was neat to watch but also because it shows off some of the country we wllbe riding through at the Rendezvous which makes it kinda neat to watch if you are panning on coming but have never seen the area. For the folks on the east coast, all you can do is drool as you watch the scenery. Part of the show shows night war games. I've been up in the area at night, ghosting under a full moon and have been 'captured' and grilled for the location of any enemy I might have seen. Actually I had found some gyrene's wallet that night and stopped to make sure it got returned, turned out the kid wsa in the 'enemy' company so they wanted to know where I hound it and as the discovered I was a local got grilled and the terrian between them and where the wallet was. Every so often we get one of the instructors detailed to the base pop up in my dirt biking crowd. Pat G'ville, Nv

A smart person will go on this ride. He'll pass this place at least a couple of times. It is located in a magical eastern Sierra valley. The eastern Sierra has many many places of interest. I've had way too much to do lately and I believe I am closing on a bit of a dream house in a couple of days, which has precluded any travel to speak of this year (it's been a long road to identify a property), but I am definitely not goin to miss the Pat Schmid guided ride in the eastern sierra. Pat knows his way around, and likes to have a good time getting there. Backroad Bill

Rather infamous place. First, you let the troops hang around Pendleton fat, dumb, and happy then you put them in busses and take them to Pickle Meadows for cold weather training. Cold? California? Oh, sure....

Out in the that neck of the woods, winter temps drop below 0. Top of Sonora Pass, 9600'+, gets over 20' of snow in winter. At the base, come Thanksgiving you don't see the ground again until the spring thaw. Winters up there are rugged. Snow gets deep enough that they start clearing the highway in April and are doing good to have the road open by the end of May. Pat G'ville, Nv [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

This "cold weather training" bit is hilarious from here in the Great White North. One time in the Whiteshell Forest Reserve near Winnipeg ,Man, our training was cut short because we were training to scrap with the Russians, who rely on tanks a lot, and it was too cold for tanks to operate. When we came out of the tents that morning it was minus 42 F, (which is about the same as minus 42 deg C). I ran into some Marines in Sep 1967 at Gagetown New Brunswick. They were from Georgia, stopping over for a couple of days, then to Alaska. We felt sorry for them. DC kdxkawboy@... wrote:

Of course your tents were properly set into the snow so you only slept in 32 degrees (0 degrees by your thermometer). Pat G'ville, Nv [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

A friend of mine who was in the Corps in the quiet time between Korea and Nam did his cold weather training before spending his entire tour on Okinawa. After Korea, specifically the Chosin Reservoir, the Corps didn't trust Asian adventures too much. By the late '60s, they were fairly sure it didn't snow too often in Nam, so I think most skipped the Bridgeport trip unless they were headed for some other area. Fortunately, I live in the Montana Banana Belt and it seldom gets lower than -20F. Everything becomes a major production at those temps.

Probably a whole lot less pissed than paying 5x for an OEM part from a Kawi dealer only to realize he'd have to buy the cap and switch too. --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, bigfatgreenbike wrote:
