I seems I found a slice of twilight zone today.
Old creek Rd & Santa Rosa creek rd.
I rode to force feed some fresh air into my triangle zone.
I turned around to snap the turkeys, group size ok, failed on spacing. About 2/3 way to Cambria, getting colder. Hot tea and a slice o' pie is nothin sitting on the sidewalk.
I have been saving this ride for the end result, pie. Now it won't happen this year.

Twilight zone
Stopped for pix, between two steep tight 150* right turns, check the warning signs > < up & down.

Went down the coast this morning around 11... very light traffic, everywhere, but there was a couple of road crews here and there.

The view was spectacular, from Hurricane Point I could see north of Santa Cruz.

I had heard that there is a road that goes down to the Snake River about half way between the
two places where I know you can cross the river. Decided to see if I could find the route.

This road ended at the top of a cliff, where the power lines cross the river.

Same parking spot looking back upstream.

Found the route that I know goes down to the river, based on Google Maps images from outer
space. It's going to be "fun" coming back up this trail. I actually manage to dump the thing
somewhere around here. :(

Stopped on the way down to let about 15 psi out of the tires for better traction. This is
very close to where my new bike got its first battle scar on the way back out.

Down by the river, at the end of the road that goes for a mile or two along the water.

A bike I still have--though not as shiny anymore--in a place we can't go now.

That looks way too hard for me to even want to attempt on my own ADV bike. Someone else's bike, maybe. :laughing


Since I'm not riding this weekend, I'm recycling some photos that didn't make the final cut from last weekend's ride on Mt Hamilton, San Antonio Valley, Del Puerto Canyon.

Most of the places that I want to ride still have snow on them. Gotta explore the lower elevations. I'll go back to that road on my XR650L one of these days and see if it's any easier.
 
Keep the pics coming Scott. Looks like you are enjoying your move more and more. We can live vicariously through your pics.

I don't think I'll be riding for who knows how long.

Yesterday I put Stabil in these four bikes, ran them for a bit, then put them back to rest until things change for the better. Their "location" won't be changing for a while I'm afraid.

Short shakedown ride on my recently rebuilt SRX 6. Up Mt Hamilton and back.
The bike has been down for about 4 years. It was a wonderful time. :teeth
I'll put it away for a while, 'til the Covid thing perhaps settles.
