We all made it down to I-80, went a couple of exits west to Yuba Pass, and proceeded to Kelly Lake, where lunch was served. Because of limited room for vehicles at the top of Cisco Butte, we went up in three groups. Someone in an earlier group got off the side of the road and probably due to deflating their tires too much, suffered two blowouts. I still don't know why it takes two towtrucks to fix two flat tires.

Approaching the top of Cisco Butte, we were photographed again.

Looking east from Cisco Butte, the east and west lanes of I-80 can be seen. Part of the railroad right-of-way can be seen to the right of the freeway.

Just south of Cisco Butte are two small lakes which are named "SP Lakes". Back when the railroads were using steam locomotives, the Southern Pacific built two small dams to create these lakes to provide a reservoir of water to replenish the water in the tenders of the steam locomotives working to lift trainloads of passengers and freight to Donner Summit.

And here is Signal Peak as viewed from Cisco Butte.

Near the end of the trail; Tom and his dusty Grand Cherokee.

The last stop of the day.

At the last gathering of the day, participants are brought up to date on future activities. Also, one member related his story of a 4wd adventure in South Africa and some of its less stable neighbors.
