Took the DRZ out today, took a ride down CA1 to Old Coast rd .
It’s about 12 miles of dirt road that winds through the hills from Bixby Bridge to Molera state park,
Everything from open vistas to Groves of Redwoods.IMG_0793.jpegIMG_0794.jpegIMG_0795.jpegIMG_0798.jpegIMG_0798.jpegIMG_0802.jpegIMG_0803.jpegIMG_0805.jpeg

Found this, 1/2 block from my driveway, end of airport runway, mixed in with campaign signage
A zoning change to allow a conditional permit to run cattle, on this spot.
Is this still done this way in Ca. ??
That search light, reminds me of "The Burning Man" big ol' light (seeing eye) rotating with the two red lit antenna ears for the head shape.
I am truly home, here.

Armsby Ln. Rode past this road a hundred times and thought it would dead end in a hundred yards, so never checked it out until today. Big surprise and ended up on a hilltop.

Az. wineries, showing off here in downtown Cottonwood, starting the wine revolution?
This place went in as a big surprise to me, took an old gnarly knob, into a show place, that tram to the top, so Sterling, , ,
So many different tasting locations in the area, from Page Springs, vineyards, to winery store fronts in Jerome, Cottonwood, Clarksdale, Sedona,

Had a bit o' weather slowly arriving, left the rig @ quarter to five, had dinner, then these pix.
Rain didn't hit me until 8:30 that nite, rain is about 5 miles away.

Mingus, clear to the south.

Good sized grapes, haven't seen this level of vine protection, wasn't here last year.
I figure, bugs, birds, or sun burn SPF, but hold the camera close to the net, to get a peek.

Visited Cottonwood several times when my sister in law lived there.

Nice tiny little town.

The heat, driving distances and relative isolation got to her and her future husband so they moved back here within a mile of here.

Some of the wineries we visited, one of them owned by Maynard, the TOOL vocalist, used California grapes.
 
I know some of the older wineries are shipping in grapes, from out of state.
Time on the road, bouncing, does start the crush, little control there, but processed upon arrival.
Blending was getting started (new business) in a big way in Paso last year, I tried a Firestone _Walker xmas beer, blended from three different holiday brews. Same people doing wine, so many flavors, imagination required, sky is the limit.
 
Hells Canyon

Hells Canyon is the border between Idaho and Oregon. It used to just be the Snake River going through there but they built three dams along it for power generation: Brownlee in 1959, Oxbow in 1961, and Hells Canyon in 1967. They were considering building one HUGE dam at the end where Hells Canyon Dam is at, but decided against it.

I try to ride to Hells Canyon once a year, but it's been two years since my previous trip. Once you drop down into the canyon there are some truly wonderful twisty roads - at least on the Idaho side. We had a bit of light rain heading down to the water, then it dried up and gave us some fantastic riding.

This is the only turnout with a view in the 70 miles from Cambridge, ID to the end of the road.

On Hells Canyon Dam looking toward the end of the road down there where it gets too steep to have a road.

This is Hells Canyon Dam, opened in 1967.

After the three dams the Snake River turns back into a regular river. They do raft trips and jet boat cruises from here.
