At the track... and Point Reyes, CA.
![]() At the track… and Point Reyes, CA Good times as always, that is if you discard the windy conditions that are always prevailing here. Some nice cars and rigs at the track… If you are going to have some toys… these people are on top of it!!! Point Reyes, a nice little town with some great broken down back roads to the Lighthouse… All in a day’s work… all in the Blog. Be well till next time… Ara & Spirit Today's Blog... and the one before...Today's Blog... and the one before... |

The Point Reyes Lighthouse, CA
![]() The Point Reyes Lighthouse, CA 300 steps down and 300 steps up… that is to the lighthouse… It is a fine ride and a fine view worth coming back to and spending much more time, specially hiking to the beach for the day. That is the rest of the story from the other day, this State is so full of wonders, including Tioga Pass which we rode yesterday… Wonder if some members of the V Strom Forum that attended their Reno Gathering and themselves rode Tioga Pass on Saturday afternoon are here… I have something not too nice to say about them… (update: turns out they must have been from another group...) Enjoy the view on the Blog… Be well… Ara & Spirit The Blog... today. Last edited by Beemerchef; 06-05-2007 at 03:02 PM.. |

Tioga Pass... CA
![]() Tioga Pass… CA A much anticipated ride since our last visit to Yosemite, the big loop through Tioga Pass, to 395 north and back through Lake Tahoe and Sacramento. Another ride not to miss, be ready for some photography as every curve is a new scenery. Many other riders going their own way, a popular destination. It was a long day since we came back that evening, a bit tired… but rewarded mentally from the ride. The story and pictures on the Blog. Be well… Ara & Spirit The Blog... |

Route 84, the Delta... CA
![]() Route 84, the Delta… CA We sure spend a lot of time on such a short stretch of road… a few hours to cover the 18 mile round trip. There is just something about those 9 miles… different crops, the trees lining the road, the water pumps in old trucks running 24/7, the best for my sight?… the sprinklers themselves… you can hear them too as the traffic is minimal… We did participate… “we”… at the “Good Morning Sacramento” TV show… channel 31, CBS… fast and faster one needs to be!!! But we had a great time… they ate… we did not! I have the video link on the Blog… Be well… Ara & Spirit The Blog... and videos... |

To the California Lost Coast...
![]() To the California Lost Coast… Hard to post anything when in transit, specially when having to backtrack, actually push forward to load up on fuel and food and return… The Lost Coast of California is a surprise… How can such a vast area of this State be so desolate… rugged at the same time… I would call it “raw”. The next leg is to Seattle… but a few days here first! Looking forward to meeting Andy and his family… including the many dogs… I think Spirit will be in Heaven! The route and some pictures are on the Blog by now… Enjoy and be well… Ara & Spirit The Lost Coast... |

Rig maintenance in Seattle... WA
![]() Rig maintenance in Seattle… WA They say it rains a lot here, in Seattle, and it must. It has been overcast, but we have been too busy taking the rig apart to notice much of it. The great news is that “Old Faithful‘s” transmission is fine… it is a big load off my mind. The dogs are having a blast playing, sometimes hard but always friendly. It is nice to see Spirit having a friend… I often thought about getting him a companion… but… where would he fit in the sidecar! I had a chance of it the other day when I was offered a Pit puppy!… white with black lips and an L marking on her neck.. Named “Lips”! No riding for a while… trying to stay busy to distract me from the thought of missing my daily ritual!… won’t be long. Will post the progress on the Blog with everything else that is and will be going on. Be well… Don’t forget Beemerchef is for hire when in your area… Ara & Spirit The Blog... today |

Heading back to Seattle...
Heading back to Seattle…
Mind games that Spirit is here… I hear and feel him, at the same time I get this “drop the stomach” notion at times… I will have to endure this two more days till our eyes meet again. Patience… I think more than that will be needed. 1100 miles or so to go which will see me back in Seattle Saturday, not Friday as I had planned on. Driving is not my favorite past time! Had to be done… much more ahead. Enjoy the pictures in the Blog… as I finally stopped to actively find an Internet connection and take some time to write. Be well… Beemerchef for hire if and when in your area! Ara & Spirit ![]() The Blog... Last edited by Beemerchef; 06-21-2007 at 06:39 PM.. |

Back to Seattle... reunited!
![]() Back in Seattle… reunited! Feels good to be with my buddy again… even if he was a bit angry! How dare you leave me behind! Feels good to see… the rig again. Did I just say that or did Andy threatened me if I did not write this? The garage door was closed when I pulled in… good thing! It is all good… all of it! Tired… too much driving… The rest is on the Blog… Be well… Beemerchef is for hire if and when in your area… Ara & Spirit The Blog... |
