Down I-5 from Portland, it started raining in Eugene. At a gas station in Grants Pass I asked the pump jockey the condition of the 4100' pass. He said that he made that call 50 times a day, and that it was snowing with patches of ice. He seemed like a smarmy punk, so I rode around until I found a cop, and he replied that the pass was wet, with blowing snow. I went over the pass. (Thank you St. Gerbing) At Yreka I went on hwy 3 to Fort Jones and over an even higher pass (5100' - wet, with patches of slush, blowing snow) to Weaverville. I continued to get rain poured on me so I tied back into I-5 at Redding and rode down to Santa Nella for a burger and a couple of beers and a hotel room.
Santa Nella to Holister, then hwy 25 through the Pinacles area to Coalinga. Down 33 through the oil fields and then took a magnificent road to To Tejon Pass and Gorman back on I-5. Found another back road through fire damaged oak woodlands past Lake Hughs and to Hwy 14 then Angeles Forest Hwy to Angeles Crest Hwy and into LA. I have work here for a couple of weeks. And I need new tires.

and I have not been on the Sur coast for a long time. I will post a tentative agenda and prepare potential hosts for possible freeloaders (thanks Burnszilla - Free landscape advice is worth just what your pay for it!)
... ok, we're back to your coast in 2007 and this isn't the first time we've seen this 'sweat equity' offer. So get ready! 'Cause, y'see, we know that the 2007 BMWMOA rally is in your back yard. ok??
