I went to Fresno Wednesday, I headed over to Montana De Oro that night, camped and rode my mountain bike in the morning. From there I headed up the coast on Ca 1, it was stunning. I encountered Seal Beach along the way too! It was awesome. I also saw a bunch of gumball 3000 cars under way, they were pretty sweet rigs for sure. I made it to San Jose that day to meet some friends for dinner and then headed north until Sacramento, when the stereo died!!! What a bummer. So, I went to sleep at a rest area, and checked the logistics, I was only 3.5 miles from Fresno, so at 6:30 am I headed back south to there. They spent most of the day dealing with that, and got me up and running better than new by around 3:30pm. I headed due north again, a day behind schedule.
I made it just short of the Oregon border, camped again at a rest area then headed into Oregon Sat morning, made it to McKenzie River trail by 1pm, rode hard for 4 hours, then resumed my journey. Met some friends in Portland about 8:30 for late dinner, then I headed home from there. Finally got home > 1700 miles after picking up the van and countless road hours. It was great! I made it home about 1am.
