Privacy of the Mind

I’m leaving today for a 5-6 day trip down to Fortuna, CA on my motorcycle. It’s an annual pilgrimage of west coast members from the Sport-Touring.net website. In honor of the trip, here’s 13 things I’ll see while I’m on the road.

1. The Oregon border as I cross the Columbia River at Longview
2. An SUV driver with a cell phone glued to their ear cutting me off
3. Rain, it’s inevitable…
4. The Pacific Ocean as I carve down Highway 101 on the coast
5. RVs… you can’t ride anywhere without getting stuck behind a slow moving RV
6. Dinosaurs, I saw ‘em on my last trip through here
7. Bugs, on the windscreen, on the face shield, bugs everywhere. I carry a damp cloth just to wipe things off when I stop for a break
8. The California border
9. The Trees of Mystery!
10. The Eel River Brewery (twice… Friday and Saturday nights!)
11. Many, many road gators
12. Oh maybe, just maybe one or two other motorcycles
13. The Washington border as I head back north early next week

I’m taking the Macbook with me and my hotel in Fortuna is supposed to have WiFi so I hope to upload a few photos and maybe post while I’m away. I’ll be updating my motorcycling blog also.

Have a great weekend, I plan to!
