My Saturday Rally ride choice. See a place always passed by, knew it was just over there, but never seen it in person. Corrizon Plain where among other things has visible signs of the San Andres Fault.

Heh that can't be, a Hayabusa on dirt :laughing
It was nice ride through the plain. Your group was only motorcycle seen as well. Saw several PU trucks, couple SUV, couple sedans and thousands of grasshoppers. :laughing
That thing looked like the Eye of Sauron out there! :shocker
Heh I was thinking 'What would happen to a Bird that flown into that focal point'.
Heh either well done deep fried or instant dust :laughing

Friday's Goaty Group
Some snappage from Friday heading down with Kurt's goaty group. We covered an amazing variety of terrain and microclimates this day. The scenery on this route was simply gorgeous and just about indescribable, from the redwood forests to the grassy ranch lands, to the creeked canyons and rocky coastal cliffs. Steinbeck did a much better job describing the beauty of the Central coast and as the pretty vistas flew by, many times I thought of his words.
Well, all I've got is these shots mostly of gas stations and rest stops, ya had to be there to get true flava. So next time, consider joining the ride and getting the full experience!
Just can't get enough goat, no matter how hard we try -- we always want more!
The iconic red tractor at Gizdich Ranch calls to me every time I visit...
Pretty view up to the hills, this ranch is the type of place you almost expect Mr Ed to pop his head over the white fence and start talking some horse sense.
Jeannette and Kurt at one of our early fuel stops.
There was a BBQ grill going at this nice shady stop, we took a little extra time to hang in the shade, somewhere in south SC mts or north of Carmel.
Banjo couldn't wait...JK!
Stephen with a secret friendly gesture, Brian unphased.
Andy and Aaron, I didn't know it yet but Aaron had a master plan brewing, he was working on a video project, can't wait to see it, I know he's already posted some and we previewed a bit Saturday night, featured REAL GOATS on the goaty ride -- sooo right!
Aaron whipped this big ole' wide screen laptop out of his backpack to check the video, very impressive!
In the Salinas area we saw so many folks and families working in the fields picking lettuce, strawberries, and other produce. Seeing them working so hard reminded me how lucky we are. I doubt you could support a family and moto riding too on whatever they earn...and you'd prolly just want to chill out after picking all day long, day after day.
In the hills somewhere east of Monterey, Gwen joined our little caravan-o-goatlings. Right on for a 2-Hornet ride! Kurt stopped the group under this oak by a cool river to share greetings and chat a bit. There were some biting critters flying thru the air and some very friendly partially clothed campers there. (Yeah real hippies to most of ya). Seriously, they invited us back to their campsite to party harty, but we had other plans for this day. Please, keep those towels on ya's, you free spirits, youz.
My 599 Hornet isn't really set up for carrying gear, but with 3 bungies and the tank bag it worked out pretty well.
This was my first overnight trip ala moto. Yes, very exciting!
Andy's rest stop outfit provided so much entertainment for me ... every single time it made me giggle. How could you not dig this?
Cameraman Stephen, I see what you are up too...
When it's time to go, it's time to go with this group. No dallying. Musta ended up at the wayyyy back after this stop.
Well after that last stop we rode for a good long while...there was a whole lot of oak-studded hill-n-canyon, the Fort, Naci-Ferg road, and then down the insanely scenic Hiway 1 past the seals, the turbo-doofus campers, Hearst Castle, until finally we pulled off for gas and a snack in Cambria.
The French Bakery across the street here had some tasty pastries, I had to grab a few extras to consume (like Andy sez "like a termite") over the next 3 days. (Munch, munch, munch...) Part of our group took a different route back into the final leg to Paso Robles and missed the Goaty Part 4 Section. I don't wanna say you missed out or anything (would never say that!) but it was a very twisty scenic section of goaty goodness I wouldn't have wanted to miss fo' nuthing'. It was awesome...Kurt sure done well to scout out all these fantastic trails for us goat kids. Lucky dawgs that we are.
Head Goat Rally-Meister, it's Super-Kurt on the mean green!
You mad bro?
Hehehe...
...well of course not, but he did try to round up a few lost goatlings at this stop, only to find they'd apparently wandered off to other pastures. Silly kids.
We had to get outta Cambria, the gas prices were atrocious!
Well really it was cuz the last tasty section towards Paso was calling, the day was getting late, the thought of cool beers was on our (my) mind, and so we hightailed it outta that cutesy lil town for our last serving of supergoat.
And it
did
N-O-T
disappoint.
At
all.
That's it for the ride part of Friday, damn that was hellacious good fun.
