The "bar" has changed somewhat, I think. Used to have a giant collection of bras hanging from the ceiling. I heard that they are gone. Doesn't it (the bar) have some sort of fish name now?

FYI, it's always been called the Tour of the California Alps...they just reemphasized that name after the death, which was in 03 or 04, I think. The cattle guards all came out after that one. Now just painted lines.

I didn't see any bras in the bar (which also has a good restaurant where we ate while camping a few weeks ago. I did not note the name...

The guy died in 2002, the first year I did it. (You tend to remember those sorts of things... )

And... how the heck are cows so dumb they won't cross painted lines? That always blows my mind.
