calaveras > hamilton > coe traverse, north-south (1 | 4)

finally opened it up. i've tossed this one around for years, just got the right window and conditions. water, mainly. a full moon helps on routes of see-not-seen nature...

leave dirt from old calaveras road and never return until you hit gilroy, spending much of your time above 3000 feet. we had an extra day and used it to go deep off the main line into hinterlands. getting ahead of myself.
