This dawn patrol was made by Tom Kohrs and Don Dahlmeier.  The start was at the McDonalds on Oro Dam Blvd.  driving east out of Oroville into the Plumas National forest.  The forest road was a beautiful drive with wide smooth twisty streets and no traffic.  The path back south to Chico was along SR32, a very nice road, but with too much traffic as late in the day as we were there.  Would suggest that future drives go in the reverse direction.  The final stop was at the Sierra Nevada Brewery.  A very good spot at the end of a fun drive.
