I am already out of San Fran. I loved it, cause I didn't actually go into the city proper. I went up onto Skyline Blvd and went to Alice's Restaurant. Sorta the Deals Gap of San Fran. It was pretty cool. Then I went to the Golden Gate and got the shit out of San Fran. LOL!

Clothes
Cameras
Camcorders
a few basic tools
zip-ties
duct tape
GPS
first aid kit
paper map
Mag Light
flask with your favorite post-ride adult beverage

I'm about to begin a test pack of my load for heading to Alaska. I'll make a detailed list of that and post if anybody cares. What I wrote above covers most of what I usually take on my trips.

weather forced me too.

San Fran area was getting hammered with rain/thunderstorms/wind. I wanted to get out of that shit and not sit in beach traffic in it.

I really wanted to, I got a taste of it in Northern Cali.

That makes sense. Glad you got to ride a little bit of it. Nice pic of the redwood. Can't wait to see the rest of the pics.

Made it back home. Pretty much did an iron butt today with detours and some extra riding thrown in, Omaha - Lenoir City was 900 miles, so I finished up the 100 and got over 1000. Not sure how I am going to fill out the paperwork though.

Will start up a day by day write up this weekend with more pics than whats on the blog.
