Disneyland Motorcycle Trip 2011

Left our little campground early this morning. Finally washed some laundry. Good thing I didn't listen to Mike and brought lots of clothes. Lol. Started our ride in 25 degree heat again and by 10:00 it was over 30. However, by 1:00 the temp reached a high of 42 degrees. Rode thru orange groves and grape vine wineries. 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 ...

Yesterday was a different day. Left Disneyland area in the morning, temp was 25. Rode up to the Mohave Desert and the temp was 37 so we made a turn to go up and over a pass for 90 miles. Mistake? Maybe!!! We got up on top and it poured rain on us! Mud slides across the road!! Flash flood? Maybe!!! We pulled over at one point and a guy stopped wanting us to get in his truck cause it was so bad!! Our lane in places was completely flooded with over a foot of water! We sucked it up and kept going, CAREFULLY (temp was 9 and snow in the ditches at the top)! 90 miles took us over 3 hours! A few close calls but we made it! We then stopped at a little bar in the middle of nowhere ( Camp Nelson, CA ) and they treated like celebrities after we told them that we were from Canada. It was pretty cool!! Rode another 30 miles and got a campground! Oh and the temp last night riding in to Springville, California was 39 at 730 and almost dark!! To HOT to ride!!! Sent from my iPhone

We have started the long journey home! Riding through the hills is HOT! We might have to move to the coast where it cools down. We'll see how it goes! It's 32 here now just north of LA and it's 11 am!!

So.... A short little update. Universal Studios was pretty cool to see again. Quite busy but we bought a Front of the Line pass which helped Us see the whole park in a day. Extremely hot though. I think I got a touch of heat stroke. Now, Disneyland...what can I say? The rides are as good as a remember! Mickey brought a tear to Joannes eye! It wasn't all that busy too which was nice. There was no one a California Adventure. Walked right on to The Tower or Terror. So eating now and heading back to Disney for one more day then it's home time.

So far, and now heading to Disneyland! To busy for updates!! Too much fun!! An update maybe later today! Sent from my iPhone

Spent too much time in Hollywood!!

Were here!!! Hollywood here we come! Checked into our hotel in Long Beach and now are heading out to find some movie stars! Were riding up to Hollywood and then on to Beverly Hills. We have some addresses of movie stars that we want to find! It so HOT! Drove by a few houses in Beverly Hills and wow! Apparently we just missed Jennifer Aniston, she was in town yesterday. But we did drive by her house and what a beautiful place. Tried to find Ozzy's but no luck! It's tucked away off the road pretty good. Also drove by a place that Elvis use to own. In the older put of Beverly Hills. Bel Air was unbelievable! And vehicles.... Lots of money in this town! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad Location: Long Beach, California
