Here are some pics from a ~350 mile ride I took yesterday from Yuma to Julian, CA and back. Route was I-8 to S2 to 79 to Julian and then S1 (Sunshine HWY) back to I-8 to Yuma.
Windmills by Ocotillo, CA
Sorry about the cell phone pics, always frustrated by how hard it is to to take landscape pics that show the beauty accurately.


S2- Long straight, but some corners coming up

If you call it No Name Canyon, isn't it Named?



Fantastic place, if you get a chance eat a slice here!

Some Pics along S1 (Sunshine HWY)

I used to love riding out to Julian via Ortega Highway.  Then I ran into a couple of the most crooked CHP officers ever and decided to stay out of San Diego County.  One heck of a story but I think it may cross a line telling it on this forum.  Maybe I will tell the story on the "other" site. 

Hey DP can I tell the story?

  c'mon dp....

Just rode Sunrise, and 79 today. Perfect weather, albeit, lots of traffic, I just took it at a slow pace and enjoyed it.

Yeah, I took it pretty slow yesterday as well. A couple of weeks ago I passed 3 cars on a double yellow on a straight stretch, they were going going about 10 MPH below the speed limit and I was too impatient to wait for the passing zone Unfortunately for me car number two was  in a low pro wrangler, tough to talk my way out of that one, I'm sure it will be pricey

Been taking easy as a result:) Still had a fantastic time. What a beautiful area!

love riding out there, but never take the 'back' way like that.  looks interesting.

mmmmmmm.

pie.

You already dropped that stinkbomb in the Palomar Mountain thread.

I'd appreciate it if you stopped crapping in San Diego threads with that story.

That's why I asked.     It is one heck of a story, sadly a very true story.  I will go post it over on the other site for anyone that wants to read it.
