Great photo. It sounds like it was a great trip.  I'm bummed I missed it.
Sounds like you need to organize a So-Cal reunion soon, Don. ;)
Central CA.  Big Sur maybe? :D

That is a fine idea.  Or possibly camp in Sequoia.

Sequoia  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Beautiful there.

I like it!!

Didn't see that this was already posted. Ha ha. I have one with a big chair too.   But I look pretty good on that bikini . More than halfway home. Dash is still leaking oil but I give up worrying. Just top off and trudge on. Going to Arkansas tomorrow

I'd be down with a central CA meet up, or nor cal. Santa Cruz has some fine campgrounds with cabins, epic riding, nice weather, beaches, all sorts of great stuff. We actually had a pretty large contingent get together there for one of the relay rides, probably almost as many people as came out to Dolores.
So much to do, so little time.

Any proposal as to the month next year?  Perhaps late spring since it gets pretty hot in the summer.

I agree with Jimmy's post. Northern or central CA have fantastic roads. Would be nice to have another reunion so close to me too. Lol

Pretty good??! I'd say pretty dang impressive, especially considering she left on the 14th; at the end of the day tomorrow, she will have been on the road for three weeks, so she's really covering lots of miles per day. :o ;D

I thought she left on the 12th.. I think I was the last to leave, part of why they did not expect me there on time..
 Except for Scott  and the Colorado bunch.
 A few internet pics of what I saw..
