FINALLY THE PACIFIC COAST.
Left Barstow at 10:00am, got a late start, 75 degrees, clear, sunny and windy. riding to the coast...beautiful mountain views through mountain passes. We made a visit to the Queen of Missions, Old Mission Santa Barbara founded by the Spanish Franciscans on the Feast of St. Barbara, Dec. 4, 1786. Rode through San Bernardino Valley, Pasadena, San Fernando Valley just beautiful mountains, valleys then ocean, beaches, ranches and beautiful homes. Rode the coast road up to Lompoc where we will spend the night. We hit some very gusty weather.
The hardest part of packing for this 6 week leg of the trip was getting everything into a 12x16x12 inches bag that fits into the saddle bag of the motorcycle. Talk about having withdrawal...we have been traveling in the Explorer with 3 suitcases each a cooler in the car plus pulling a trailer with extras. And Ken said we still have too much and have to mail some stuff home.
