  1. I did a 3 month motorcycle camping tour of the Southwest & West Coast US. The California highlights for me were sleeping under a blanket of stars (no tent) in the Alabama Hills on the east side of the Sierra Nevadas and waking up to Mt Whitney (the highest peak in the contiguous US) glowing in the morning sun. Meditating under the giant 2000 year old red woods of the Sequoia National Park, beautiful scenery of Lassen Volcanic National Park, and riding the twisty roads throughout the Sierra Nevada mountains especially near Yosemite National Park.

    The highway that runs along the northern shore of the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington had spectacular views and I never knew so much of the eastern half of Washington was so desert like.

    I really liked the mountains in Idaho although the camping and mornings on the bike at that altitude were pretty cold. It certainly wasn't the flat potato-filled boring state I was imagining. The area around the Montana/Wyoming boarder near Yellowstone National Park was incredibly beautiful and I hope to return there to do some more wandering on my way to my annual desert tour of southern Utah. Gotta love that Roadrunner cartoon scenery!

    The awesome thing that I found out about camping in the States is that it’s FREE to camp anywhere in any of their National Forests. The bonus is that there’s never any 50’ RVs running it’s generator keeping you awake all night.

    are you taking another bike tour this year? if you are, you should come thru CO for a visit!!!

  2. Just south of Carmel is a place called Point Lobos State reserve- it's one of the best places I've been on the west coast! If you scuba dive, it's some of the best in the world, there's a kelp forest right off the shore where you can dive with sea otters, seals, and sharks. Also, check out Natural Bridges park in Santa Cruz, try to go when the tide's out, you'll be able to walk the coast a lot farther than at high tide, plus the tide pools formed at low tide are amazing- like little aquarirums filled with anenomes, starfish, fish, etc. Also, there's great place to go sea kayaking near monterrey, but i can't remember the name of it for the life of me. That was a lot of fun, the seals and sea otters would come up right to the kayak!

  3. I don't think schwa. was wearing skirts then' date=' think he picked that up at burning man, but it sure does look like him![/quote']

    We've got a winner!

    Wow, i'm glad you were even able to decipher that, seeing as my fingers can't type as fast as I think, apparently.

    I like schwa. in skirts! especially without the underwear :o:o

  4. I didn't hear that, about checking for tix in the lot. the park is open everyday, even on concert days, they just close it in the afternoon before the show. If they close the lot for ticket holders only, I'll just ride my bike up one of the trails or something.

    I'm not sure exactly how people get up there, but some friends have told me that they've watched shows from mt morrison. I'm gonna go by there soon and scope it out and try to figure out the best way up.

  5. I think just the number of locals that were shut out and gonna try to get tix in the lot or watch the show from mt morrison, myself included, is gonna be overwhelming. but at least us locals will have somewhere other than the city of morrison to go to.
