Moto: Santa Barbara

This Saturday past, 560 miles of Moto.

Where?

The somewhat aimless route took me thru Lake Arrowhead
to HWY 2 with a detour into Palmdale,

then traversing the ranges and connectors to the coast,
eventually with a short lived visit into Santa Barbara.


Not Wanting to take the mountain passes on the return home,
the 101 and PCH was ultimately chosen, destined to enjoy the

windy coastal roads of Santa Monica.


The fun was stopped briefly due to another road closure, this time
on the infamous Ortega HWY, Rte74, at about 12am in the
morning.

So what did I do?

I rode the precarious 5 miles south to the sole rest stop in
Southern California and slept on a bench, only to return home to a

very disappointed and worried Sahrfrog.




Why precarious, you ask? Cause I was having a hard time staying awake.

It was great, the ride that is,

not the dozing off or especially

the disappointed Sahrfroggy.

There was an art exhibition at the Mission in Santa Barbara,
which featured amazing chalk paintings.




...


Dead end. HWY 2 is closed.

Wonder where this goes..?


The alternate off road route that would lead to Pearblossom and Palmdale.
