Modoc Motorcycle Club Revitalizes Iconic Modoc County “M” with Fresh Coat of Paint

By Chelsea Bacon

In a heartwarming display of community pride and dedication, the Modoc Motorcycle Club recently undertook the task of revitalizing the iconic Modoc County “M” by giving it a much-needed fresh coat of paint. Perched high on a hillside, the “M” has long stood as a symbol of local pride, visible for miles around and representing the strong, close-knit community of Modoc County.

The project was spearheaded by Greg Richardson, Vice President of the Modoc Motorcycle Club, who emphasized the importance of preserving such landmarks that hold deep significance for the community. 

The “M,” which has been a longstanding fixture in the county, has weathered the elements for years, and the recent touch-up was seen as both a necessary maintenance task and a gesture of love for the community. Members of the Modoc Motorcycle Club spent hours meticulously painting the “M,” ensuring that it remains a proud beacon for future generations.

The effort did not go unnoticed, with many locals expressing their appreciation for the club’s dedication to preserving the “M.” The freshly painted “M” now stands out even more prominently, serving as a renewed symbol of the community’s enduring spirit and resilience.

This act of stewardship by the Modoc Motorcycle Club highlights the collective effort required to maintain the landmarks that define a community. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of coming together to celebrate and care for the things that make Modoc County unique.

As the sun sets each evening, casting a warm glow on the freshly painted “M,” residents of Modoc County can take pride in knowing that their community spirit is alive and well, embodied in both the landmark itself and the efforts of those who care for it.
