All that way, -Holiday, just to spend a day watching a 110lb Filipino slide his rear tire all over the desert!

Palomar is a mountain... and home to one of the largest telescopes on the planet.... but you are still a 110lb Filipino at heart, Verm...

You're just becoming Americanized.

I want to thank -Holiday for a fun ride yesterday... we met up along the 15 and I rode along for only a few miles (I think about 70 but I could be wrong) but we had a nice cruise along Ortega Hwy and did Safe Riding Technique demonstrations for each other on interstate 5... very worthwhile, I learned a lot. I parted ways when we reached Oceanside... I took Ortega Hwy again going the other way and made it home by about 9:00PM...

-Holiday on Ortega Hwy, overlooking Lake Elsinore.

So, I'm two days behind in updates. Let me start back from when I left Salina Utah...

I got a late start this day, but it was ok knowing i only needed to do around 300 miles to Vegas. Total miles ended up being 333. I basically came out of the mountains in Utah, dropped a few thousand feet, and then heated up like a hot potato.

Man was it hot. At one point in St George, it was 110 degrees, and I decided to stop at a starbucks and chill in the AC for a few hours. Before that though, I paid 5 bucks and got to ride through Zion National Park which was beautiful! I already posted a few pics on that, but here are a few more:

so after a break, I got moving again. After an hour or so, to my suprise, I saw this:

i guess i needed to look at the map more because I didnt even know I'd be going through Arizona. Basically, it was only for 30 miles, but it was really need, as it cut through a big mountain

then it was basically desert desert desert for another 97 miles, until I got to vegas

and to my hotel

ok, i have some errands to run, but I have some more to post when i come back...

I think Scan and I were in the parking lot of the Fiesta! before (but I can't say for what reason

).
