Lassen Peak is in north eastern California, at the
southern end of the Cascades. Heres the Wikipedia
article on it. It explains it better and faster then I
can.

I also found another thread I wrote on the forum from
when I rode to Lassen in Aug of 06. You can still see
the snow along the road and in one of the pic you can
see just how deep it was that year.

Not so much seasonal. My finacee has 4 daughters, ages
14, 12,10 and 9. My then 12yo son was here visiting me
and my grandson age 6 was here. Between all of them
with the bickering arguing and fussing, I needed a day
off. Doing the Dad/grandpa thing, I wasn't getting
enough seat time to maintain good karma.

Nice looking bike! Pic is kinda small though. Since
you are a rider, I'd like to extend a invitation to
come join us at Pashnit.com. I'm pretty sure we got a
couple members in the New York area on the forum.

Some risk is necessary in life. Without risk, the new world wouldn't have been discovered, man wouldn't have landed on the moon and we wouldn't ride motorcycles.
