    As I continue,

    I leave Santa Paula on Sunday May 13 and head backdown to Derstuka's Town Inn and Resort in Sna Clemente. Man I love this place. A real smaller town atmosphere here. And close to the beach and everything that goes with it. I get the grand tour around the sites by Stuke. I think I am going to take him back to the UFRR by force and appoint him as my Minister of Tourism and Recreation.

    Anyway, we hit the Midway. Well, really we did not hit it but you get the picture. Stuke took and posted just about all the pix I had already but I have a few.

    Leader of the UFRR sitting in one of his Department of Defence Top Secret Aircraft's cockpits. Haven't designed and built the rest to the aircraft yet though. i think this was the cockpit of an F4 Fantom but I c ould be corrected on that. It was quite tight. You certainly would not slip and slide all over your seat while flying that puppy

    I could be mistaken but I think that is a destroyer in the background as I stand on the flight deck of the Midway

    Today, I take it easy. Did a little riding around this neat place and ran a few errands. I even treated myself to a theraputic message to settle down the neck issue. Tomorrow it is off for another shorter half day ride. Stuke and his wife are working so it is solo. I will try to stop accassionaly and take some pix.

    Today it was up to Lake Elsiner via the Ortega Hwy. Another nice clean winding road. Other traffic heading up was almost non exsistant. Stopped there long enought to have lunch then headed back. The lake wasn't anothing special to see but the ride was what this trip was all about. Stuke was working again so this was a solo trip.

    Stuke and I searched all over trying to find a decent road map of California. Seems, none to be had these days. FOund one that was not too bad but it did lack some detail.

    Tomorrow morning, I am on the road again. Derstuka and his lady have been great host and hostess. I love thi splace called San Clemente nestled quietly by the sea. If I were to move south, this could very well be the place aI would choose. But that is not likely to happen. I wouldn't be able to bitch about the rain if I did

    hey randy. nice ride so far.. If you made it into ojai the fire that burned that place up was a few years ago. it ripped through Santa Barbara and surrounding areas.. there was another one farther inland as well... that whole area is frier than a popcorn fart during the summer.. the trip is looking good and R3 is right around the corner... have fun and be safe

    my method is, if it ain't posted...

    seriously, Brian and I rode around after dark just looking for one of those signs that marks a park, we pulled in used the headlights of the bike to setup, and then when we got up the next more packed it up. Doubt the city ever noticed we were there. This was pre-99% though.

    It was great to have you Randy, and to show you around SC and San Diego. Sarah was sad you were leaving today she told me. We were both thinking as each day passed you were getting more and more comfortable, and might be coming down with a case of the "San Clemente Flu"......not very hard to acquire at all. :)

    Anywho, here's to a properous and fun-filled adventure. As I said before, do let me know if you should run into any issues. I have a truck, loading ramp, tie-downs, liquor, and strippers. to service your, ahem....bike... :stripper: :stripper:


    One question though......who is this guy, and what is he doing in my bathroom?

    Well. I am now in Fresno and booked into the Marriot Town Place suite. Got a suite with a kitchenette. That is all they had. Am on my way to Yosemity and after discussions with my Minister of Tourism and Travel, aka Derstuka, it was decided that I would not likely get a site in Yosemeti later in the day so best to take off here very early in the morning and stand in line at the First come FIrst Served there. No pix this time.

    Hey boss, I actually told him to go to the Valley early in the morning and try for camp 4 for his first experience of the big ditch. They are a first come, first serve, close to Yosemite Lodge. I think he may will like being in the valley more so for maximum visual enjoyment....plus there are more places to eat, and more places to hook up to the internet.

    damn dude. you should have checked with me. I have a friend with a condo in yosemite that usually let's friends use it cheap or free if it's not booked up.

    just in case you are thinking of hiking all the way to the top of the falls, be aware it took jake, terri, and myself all day to get up there and by the time we turned around to come back we were TEEEEE IRRRRRD. We did see a couple bears on the trail on the way back down, too. Some of the idiots were stopped and oohing and ahhing... I said F that and kept cruising away from the momma bear and her cubs.
