Day 14, La Jolla HOME, 2,229 Miles!
We are home, hit the Vespa for grub & libations this afternoon. You can not imagine how great it feels to be home, check in with us in a few days for the wunderlust motolust as we are both sure that we will want to be back on the pavement shortly.
Day 14, We're Going Home, anticipated mileage near 400, temps from 50 to 90
We're heading home. Although the road trip has been phenomenal, we are both looking forward to the beach, family & friends (two legged and four). Heading out of Yosemite before the crowds, the plan is to detour from the all day freeway trek, and ride Cerro Noreoste again this morning. Keep an eye out for updates once we get home for more moto & vacation porn! We should be over 2,000 miles when we reach La Jolla.

Day 9, 10 & 11, Carson City, NV

Mick & Papa Sak
We have been spending some time with Papa Sakakeeny and while it has been a very nice visit we are itching to get back on the road again and off the grid of everyday life. The weather has finally cleared and we are getting back on the bike and heading to the Ahwanhee and Yosemite for the next three days.

Day 8, Jihad & Fashion
Day 8, Mendocino to Carson City, NV, storm runners, 360 miles, wet and snowy the entire way
In all our wisdom we decided to depart lovely Mendocino, avoid Eureka and out run the impending storm. We unfortunately did not calculate the possibility of the storm actually picking up energy and speed and staying with us the entire day. We put in a total of 360 miles, 9 1/2 hours of "not" fun riding and made it successfully to Dayton, NV (just outside of Carson City, NV) to push up our stay with Papa Sakakeeny.
Stopped just outside of Donner Pass to add another layer, have a shot of scotch, hot cocoa and new gloves (garden gloves). The leather gloves were soaked completely through, so much it looked as if I had tattooed fingers from the black bleeding through.
