I'll put some Panorama Photos in couple of days after stiching them together.

Today's Trip:
Aliso canyon road is one of the quietest among I had covered on Angeles Forest.
I even could put my tripod at the center of the road about 20 min. without having another vehicle passed by. :roll:
Really relexed riding I had today on Aliso Canyon Rd. and Soledad Canyon Rd.
Soledad Canyon Rd. is different kind of road.
High speed limit (55 mph) and pretty straight roads, rare traffic, good view,.....
Ah, there is a place called Hidden Springs Cafe.
Its on the Angeles Forest and hidden...ha ha ha. (you can see where the place is from Google Earth or Map link)
I took some photos of, the place is kind of pit-stop for any traverllers and/of bikers.
Gang of oldies (ofcause they are Bikers) are resting and chatting when I was there. :cool:
As it's hidden, birds also seems hidden type around cafe, found a lot of Hummingbirds around.
Some kind of bird feeding devices are there? only for the Hummingbirds?? :??: O_o

Today's Trip Profile and Meter images attahced...

Thanks

Thanks, Mr. Softie.
California canyons (especially around Los Angeles) are pretty null and almost similar scenes.
I tried to get some different photos from photos like rocky mount and similar roads I took last trips.
Hard to find...
If I found good place, it's very hard to stop and take photos.. ha ha ha
Anyway, I'm glad to hear someone enjoyed my reports.
And it cheered me up...to continue... :roll:
Thanks

Busy, if you'd been there on Sunday, I might've seen you. My wife and I were coming back from Mammoth and we cut across Angeles Forest and Angeles Crest Highways down to the 210 and 2, instead of taking the 14/5. Made for a nice change, and the canyon roads were very quiet, especially for a Sunday afternoon. We went right by the teeny tiny Hidden Springs Cafe. There were a few bikers hanging out in front as usual. Looks like a nice peaceful little place, much more serene than Newcombs Ranch further up Angeles Crest Hwy, and WAY more serene than Cook's Corner in OC.

Hi, Moedad.
Isn't it a nice place "Hidden Springs Cafe"!
Um, I had cleaned my GZ250 in sunday as it gets dusty here and there. (it's been a month i guess)
And tell Alan that Canyon Roads are not that bad for beginners like us..... :roll:
(I saw Alan's post at his ride reports...ha ha ha)

Finally finished Panorama Photos....
I tried to photo shop little bit... :blush: to fix stitching gab..

Well, Busy, the Hidden Springs Cafe burned to the ground in the Station Fire. Good thing you stopped there and took some pictures when you did.

Pure artistic talent!
Love your documentaries of your beautiful road trips.
Need to get rid of my 3.2 MP point and shoot camera.
I need to spend some time and get into the 21st century!
Thanks!

Hi, there.
This report was an year old...and I enjoyed myself again.
Thanks for the refreshing those riding for me, and for your warm comments.. :roll:

BTW, the photos were taken with cheap point-shot camera (10 M, can't recall)
>> it was fried by my mistake couple of months ago; when I tried to create remote wiring ..
It lived about an year with me and bike and did lots of good jobs for me.
It's less than 100 $ and reliable for the just road trips.
I don't have expensive good quality one yet... may be later on if I needed.
