I sat out the travelling on Memorial Day weekend in Mesa with the Arizona branch of my family. I didn't feel that tangling with the drunks and prices of gas and motels was worth it, and even though it was a coincidence that made me able to do it I'm glad.



I made it to Santa Monica today. I ran a combo of SR 279 (I think) and SR 18 through Big Bear to San Bernadino rather than the leg of Rt 66 from Barstow to San Bernadino via Cajon. What a great decision that turned out to be. Amazing roads here in California.



Now I have to figure out how to get home, hah! I won't be going to Portland because I have placement tests...may route through S.F. - Sacramento - Utah - Colorado. Anyone have any advice?



This has been one hell of a ride...by the way, The ZX-14 is rock soild at 158MPH on the GPS with tank, tail, and saddle bags. Still pulling when I said "Ok, that's fast enough." when 170 was indicated. Not too much speedo error there at all...indicated 55 is 53 on the GPS. Stupid, maybe, but it was the Texas Panhandle...anyone who has been there will understand how bored I was.



By the way, that was all fiction. Creative writing class. Yeah. That's it.

Thanks again. Sorry about the lack of mail, Santa Monica was the first I could find public internet access. Hooray for the middle of nowhere!



Anyways, things are going as well as can be, aside from the ZX's propensity to eat tires. Grr.
