Didn't mean to slight anyone by NOT unfurling said banner, just have to be politically correct ( I have problems that way and need reminding ).

Well, Dudley gave the run down of the day. Just went to stretch our legs and I will post a few pictures soon, not much to see since we only kind of hung around. Not that there's anything wrong with just hanging around.
Saw hills, fields,trees, valleys, seed and turf farms, horses, llamas or alpaca, cows and what we thought was smoke from forest fires (was something else). Had sunshine and I got to shed a jacket. Was 62 this morning and went up to 84; how's that? Did have wind which was the only gripe.
Been a blast but we are headed down I-5 south and SOUTH means we are going HOME,

A GIVI trunk would have given us more carrying room, but we did really well with what we had. The Spyder was very comfortable as we have it set up. My signature has the mods we have installed, plus we have the BBs in the handlebars and Jennifer's floorboards.

Tonight we are in Westley, CA...a least the turnoff of I-5 where the motels,etc. are. Rode 502 miles today...reached temperatures of 102F. Gatorade rules! Tomorrow will be the one that takes us home. Mt Shasta today was really majestic!

Good to hear you are almost home. We stayed the night of our anniversary (June 24th)on the way to LA in Mt Shasta. It was a beautiful ride through that area.

This internet is too slow which is why I didn't post or o pics last night. Tried a while ago, but still dragging so no pictures until I get home and then they will be of no interest. Actually Mt Shasta and the entire vista was beautiful. All very worth while seeing; but not any time soon for us. We had passed this particular way in March 09 when going to await the birth of our granddaughter so the difference from winter look was welcome.
Anyway, know you're in California because the gas prices went up. Down south and in the east prices went from $2.49-$2.69. Saw them start to rise in Oregon, then when we got to California it was $3.09 to $3.23, and that is just the northern part of the state. I did mark that it was $3.16 at the small station by our house as we departed on this journey; will have to see what it is when we get there this evening. Did you see? THIS evening, yipppppppeeeee.
