4 Corners '05

San Diego to Seattle

The California coastline is one of the
most beautiful places we've seen.

Big Sur


California Highway 1 winds along the coast between San Luis Obispo and Carmel.
The highway offers spectacular views around every turn.
 


Roe.  Note the highway stretching across the bridge in the background.
 




 


 


Doesn't this just make you want to get on your Harley and ride?
 


 


 

Bixby Bridge.  This was the bridge that Michael Parks rode across in the opening scenes off the television series "Then Came Bronson".
 


Early morning. 
Roe packs the bike to head for the Golden Gate Bridge. 
The suite to the right, with a hot tub no less, was ours for the night.  We didn't use the hot tub!











 


We came through San Francisco and across the Golden Gate Bridge after dark.  Although the bridge was illuminated, fog surrounded the lights.  Riding over the bridge was like riding through a tunnel.

We missed our exit off I-380 in south San Francisco.  The Interstate spur ended and we exited to ask direction in a not-so-desirable neighborhood.  I stayed with the bikes while Roe went into a small convenience store to ask directions.  During the five minutes that Roe was inside, I saw someone set the alarm off trying to break into a Ford Explorer parked across the street and a guy came up and offered to sell me drugs.  When Roe returned (none too soon!), we mounted up and got the heck out of there!


 


The next morning we rode back to the bridge for pictures.
You can barely make out the bridge in the background through the fog.
 


I'm not sure what the goofy expression is all about,
but the scene is the California coastline.
