Jackrabbit Lake, today's destination, is down in the valley below, roughly at the bottom left side of the photo.

However, the Orestimba Wilderness, which is not open to bikes (or other mechanized transport), lies between here and there, so the bicycle route follows a V-shaped route that skirts the Wilderness boundary.

I continue my ride down County Line Road, heading off to the right in the photo.
