Thanks for sharing this. I never met Mr. Tillman, but I feel a debt of gratitude towards him and his family. It pleases me to see a monument in his honor. I prefer the dirt, but if you can't ride in the dirt keep touring those paved back roads! I imagine there is still a lot to be found. Thanks for sharing your ride with us.

Patrick Tillman Monument
While roaming through the hills south and west of San Jose I happened upon the small town or New Almaden. It was there I found this monument dedicated to Pat Tillman.
First, the obligatory TW shot:

Rest in peace American Soldier.
Lastly, a view across the street looking at the Almaden Quicksilver County Park.

According to a friend that grew up in the area I am about 60 years to late. All the roads have either been paved or closed to vehicle traffic. Horses, bikes, and hikers are still OK!
