Henry Coe State Park bicycle camping trip (mountain bike), September 2006

A four-night bicycle camping trip in Henry Coe State Park, starting from home in downtown San Jose, California. Another place that I like to do bicycle camping is the Mojave National Preserve area in eastern California.

Los Cruzeros

Los Cruzeros

Mahoney Meadows Road crosses dry Coyote Creek at a spot called Los Cruzeros. Three campsites, vacant right now, perhaps due to the lack of water here at this time of year, are off to my right.

Los Cruzeros squirrel

A photogenic squirrel perches on a rock, watching me as I walk around Los Cruzeros to check out the scenery. I'm surprised that he doesn't seem disturbed by my presence at all. Maybe the hot, dry weather is encouraging him to stay still...

Coyote Creek through Los Cruzeros is completely dry this Labour Day weekend. Old algal growths in the creek bed are dried up and bleached by the hot sun.

Poison oak woods on Willow Ridge Trail

Poison oak woods on Willow Ridge Trail

Willow Ridge Trail passes through a woodsy area for half a mile or so, and there's no breeze in here, just heat. Beautiful scenery, but tough with a bike. A few downed trees provide obstacles to get the bike past, while encroaching poison oak all along
