beating the bounds

I started out to do my usual Saturday ride. It was a May Gray kind of day:

it was still a little gloomy going up the Pacific electric trail:

I did change it up a little by going all the way to Nealy's Corner (i-15 and Sierra) before heading back down. I almost went up Lytle Creek rd, but I didn't. It had cleared up:

I passed the Galleano vineyards:

since I had gone up to Nealy's I decided to do the short ride and go up Benson. we still have some snow on mt Baldy:

Kathy Tish petted The Goodwine's dog:

Since Kieth wants to try and get photos from all 50 states, I took one so I can get Missouri and Illinois (and possibly Kentucky and Texas, although the latter will be the inside of DFW airport). They also had a smaller version, which is idea for my bike:

From 5-16-2010

and that little plant doesn't know when to stop:

From 5-16-2010
