HIGHLANDER,

My wife is out of town as well this weekend, and the next two. the difference is that I have 2 kids (a 2 year old, and a 6 month old) to take care of on my own while she is away. For some reason I just don't see me being able to have the kind of weekend you did. Then there is the added fact that the roads on the west coast are nice, and the ones here in the Midwest SUCK. I will take your "Woe" over mine any day.

 
Gee, Dave, thanks for letting us "share your burden"! :blum: Obviously, it sucks to be you and to be forced to live near the coast. :rolleyes:

Seriously good ride and report. :yahoo:

 
Good show! Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed those pix all the way from TN.

The PCH is on my list, and so is the "avenue of the giants", and so is....., and so is...... :bike:

 
Dave, I don't know where guys like me would be if guys like you weren't out there dealing with those crappy roads for us. I guess somebody has to do it, eh? :huh:

Nice way to spend the day. ;)
