I had the pleasure of weekending at the Honderosa in Carvertown. Some wacky dude from Reno showed up too. Hilarity ensued. So did hangovers.

Somewhere along Bitterwater Road, shortly after running a bovine blockade: 




Entering Parkfield. Gulp, stay steady San Andreas Fault line!:


RenoJohn braving the bridge over the fault/river:


Another 'Everywhere' shot:


Obligatory 'It's a-shakin'!' RJ ham-it-up shot:


Phew! Made it back over the fault line:


Mr. Tin E. Bladder stopping for the umteenth time:


FJR through the years on Indian Valley Road:


Ditto, but closer. Note the background:


RJ pulling into the Hondarosa's grand, main drive:


How to start the barbecue, Creston Militia style:






Real men don't need no steekin' mahcheez! Note the 'gopher gun' on the right. omg.gif :


Our cook for the night, Chef Carver:


Mmmmmmm, Tri Tip!:


Mmmmmmmm, Jack on the rocks!:


Go ahead, steal this for a 'Caption This' thread (note RJ's 'cocktail' glass laugh.gif ):


This one too!:



A hearty 'thank you!' to Don and his Loverly for putting up with us this weekend and showing us city boys some absolutely righteous roads! Hopefully, John and Don will add a few more pictures to complete the story.

RenoJohn arrives and makes a quick beeline for the honey...


Next morning, ready to ride!
 

The dirt noobies taking it easy..


JBurleighs' favorite restaurant, he kept looking for Alice...


..and where he wants to go eat;


Boring scenery. One hill has yellow flowers, the next one orange flowers, the next one violet, sometimes all mixed up.. 
Yawn.. rolleyes.gif How much snow DO you have now? glare.gif 


Dos Amigos;


..and the rebel without a clue, TWN.


TWN and RenoJohn at the secret spot. On a sad aside, Andrew (Ovale) loved this spot and vowed to return. RIP dude, miss you.


Getting close to home, Naciamento lake, just west of Paso Robles, CA.


RenoJohn is worried.. now that the ride is over, he has to drink, laugh, eat, and party. Damn it. 


TWN and RJ kickin.


A good shot of RJ;


Oh, yeah, RJ wants to be like TWN when he grows up.. unsure.gif 


It was a great weekend! Lots of good roads and food and even better friends. Even met a local guy, Wayne, who is a hoot and I'm sure we'll be riding together soon. Leave it for a guy from Reno to introduce two other riders who don't know each other and only live 15 miles away. Welcome to the power of the Internet and of long distance riding.

    I wouldn't change a fucking thing; I've lived hard, played hard, and I ain't done yet. I've paid some severe penalties along the way, but the rewards have been so much greater; even if for just have participating in the game of life with utmost abandon. It's not who rides the furthest in a day, but rather in a lifetime. CBA member #1, IBA #31845 and very proud of both.

    The hills are pretty when the wildflowers are in bloom. The blue lupine really brings out the contours of the coastal mountains.

    Great pictures from all of you guys!
     
    It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

    Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
