Man, roads definitely took a beating, I'm starting to think I should go hire onto a road crew, probably lots of overtime for the next year or so.

I believe the term is Photographers License, that extra permission that snappers justify a small infraction, to get THAT pix.
It was taught in my high school photog class, with a wink and nudge.
It is easier to apologize than seek permission.
No talent applied here though.

Drying out my bike, and showing off my new fork gaiters,
I piled a bunch of stuff on my bike to make rain run off the cover, no puddle.
My bike like this, awaiting parts, a target for rivers of rain, , ,
After a summer touring Nor-Cals dry lakes, they be filling now.

Photographer's License - I like that. That's pretty much my thought process when I'm out on a bike looking for photo opportunities. I totally empathize with that stupid SUV driver who got stuck because often my decision making isn't much better.

Old Santa Cruz Hwy heading toward Summit Rd, right before Idylwild Rd. Although taken from different roads, these road damage pictures are beginning to look alike.

Eureka Canyon Rd. It's got minor slides here and there, gravel and muddy sections, but not bad compared
to Highland Way.
Highland Way, heading back toward San Jose. The new iPhone really brightens up night shots; no way it was so bright.
Bottom of Bear Creek Rd. I rode up 2 miles to road barriers that blocked the entire road. It was too dark to see anything so I didn't ride past the barrier.
When roads are blocked off and deserted like this the whole place feels like a giant moto playground.

I dunno that I would have had the nerve to ride through those mud puddles on street tires, ballsy, same for doing all that in reverse in the dark.

^ Hate to burst my own bubble, but I'm fairly cautious so ballsy isn't it. On Highland Way yesterday I was a bit stressed crossing a flooded section not knowing if there would be a giant sink hole under the muddy water. Over mud I kept the bike fully upright, rode slowly in the tire track, and was surprised and relieved that it felt less slippery than I thought it would be. When I reversed course after dark, it helped that I came that way so I knew what to expect.
Alpine Rd, maybe 1 mile from Skyline. There is a smaller washed-out section farther down, but otherwise Alpine and Pescadero Creek Rd are surprisingly clear and free from serious damages.
Stage Rd, 3.5 miles from Pescadero
Hwy 1 heading north, right before Pescadero Creek Rd
Tunitas Creek Rd. This looked like a farmstand - the chalk writing on the beam says "pumpkins" something, but the supplies displayed were not typical of farmstands. Almost looked like surplus stuff that people wanted to give away. Not sure what the deal was.

Postcard from Sunny Morro Bay
Applied location to return to 1950's solo stack.
Maritime welcome home, lookin' beat up.
Mini library, small books?
While I was out snappin' , sirens are sounding for a while. I took another lap down the waterfront, big doins @ the Rock.
Somebody got stuck trying to climb the Rock and got trapped, rescued, and arrested.

Wait til you see today's shots.
Yeah, I'm a little disappointed Gary didn't eek thru that gap.
Or did he?
Nah, it was dry and clean, didn't look that interesting beyond that point, so I didn't feel the urge. Judging from the tire tracks in the dirt next to barriers, someone else on a bike did.
that’s a cool pic …
I was happy that, with some pavement out of the way, I could get the road down below into the shot.
Bear Creek Rd

Schulties Rd, from Laurel Rd side
Redwood Lodge Rd. When they built this bridge I thought they finally fixed the road problem once and for all. When I saw this I went, "oh my god," in my head.
