Day 7

Nothing but sunshine and dry roads! Oh and traffic. Rode the highway 1 along the coast today to just south of Santa Barbara. What a ride with amazing views of the coast! The sunshine came out more and more as we headed south. Then the temps got up near 30! There were huge Elephant sea lions sunning on the beach. The ride is amazing with the smells of nature. First with the hay crops in Idaho, to the wet cedar smell of the Red wood forest, to the ocean breezes, and most unique was the smell of the strawberry fields as we rode by along the California coast. Palm trees line the boulevards. Motorbiking is sure the way to experience the country!! Tonight we are camping at McGrath State park. We will be up early again. Only 80 miles to Long Beach and the golden coast.

Stopped at a local fruit stand for some fresh peaches and plums. We thought the California Red Woods were huge until we rode through the Sequoia National forest. Unbelievable!!! From there we rode through Yosemite National Park. Waterfalls and huge mountains were amazing. Snow still at the summit and the temp dropped to 8 degrees. The sudden changes in temperature is hard to get used to. Mike looked at the map and realizes that we are a LONG way from home so we rode until 10:30 tonight. Long after dark down here. Good thing I was watching the signs or we would be in Reno by now. Lol. GPS led us astray for the first time. Tomorrow will be another long ride if we ever ...
