Would you believe this guy ended up falling to his death?

This is the sequel to “Into The Desert”. After a few days in the heat of the deserts of Southern California and Nevada, I worked my way back towards San Diego, by motorcycling up into the mountains,   more...to ride by Lake Arrowhead, Silverwood Lake, Lake Gregory, and along the beautiful “Rim of the World Drive” to Big Bear Lake. Rim of the World Drive is the two lane Highway 18, located northeast of San Bernardino, and, as I found out, FILLED with OTHER motorcyclists on weekends! It was QUITE a change bein’ around so many other motorcyclists again, after bein’ in the solitude of the deserts on my own. And once I got FURTHER back into civilization, it was even MORE of a change, havin’ to be impacted by damned TRAFFIC LIGHTS again!!, after ridin’ for DAYS without seein’ even ONE of those truly annoying inventions from Hell! LOL I wonder how many YEARS are wasted out of people’s lives by havin’ to sit still at traffic lights? . . . . but I digress LOL . . .

On Memorial Day I head out from San Diego again on the motorcycle for a few weeks, and ride up the Pacific Coast Highway to the San Francisco Bay Area, then east through Yosemite National Park, then by Mono Lake and east on the wonderful two old U.S. 50 through Nevada, which is a GREAT motorcycling road that I’ve loved bein’ on many times over the decades. U.S. 50 was part of the old 3,400 mile long Lincoln Highway, which was a famed transcontinental highway, and the first practical automobile road to link the East and West coasts of the United States. The Nevada portion of U.S. 50 is rarely used any more, with most travelers opting to use 4 lane Interstate 80 to the north, which is fine by ME! since they leave U.S. 50 to the bikers and people in enclosed vehicles who have more time on their hands to enjoy the incredible vistas :) :)

Once out of Nevada, I’ll wander around Utah and Arizona for a while, then spend a few days in Las Vegas, before headin’ back to San Diego.

The song I used for this video is “Let It Ride” by Ryan Adams & The Cardinals.  less

UNFORGETABLE THE SOUND OF MUSIC...

This is my first attempt! ;-) Mom was visiting here in Arizona and wanted to go to a small town called Tortilla Flat (population 7). It sits on the Apache Trail between the Roosevelt Dam and Apache   more...Junction. It was a wonderful trip - switchbacks and awesome lake views the whole way. At the end, we crossed a one lane bridge to get to Tortilla Flat - that was kinda weird! We ate a hamburger at the only place in town to get food and turned around and headed back to Phoenix. It was nice spending time with my mom...  less

That's one way to ski down a mountain, I guess... although it seems an awful lot more like free-falling.

Personally, I think I'd be running for cover if I saw that thing coming down the hill towards me.
