I'm not sure what the issue is with my server... seems to be hit and miss.

Anyway, yeah, the views were amazing. It's a place I used to go to a lot when I was in high school and college and has a lot of good memories for me. Long before I had the motorcycle I used to dream about what those roads would be like on one. It was great to have the chance to ride them--and it was more than I had hoped for! The highway is essentially about 40 miles of twisty goodness that just dead ends. This eliminates the majority of traffic and since it was the middle of the week, I basically was on my own!

As for the long ride, yeah, it was 1060 miles in about 17 hours. I've done the same route in a car many times, so I was mentally prepared... physically, however, it took its toll. Totally worth it, though! I just couldn't see the point in stopping and setting up camp when in a few more hours I could just crawl into bed with my girlfriend who I hadn't seen in a week and a half! -- anyone in my position would have done the same thing!

vpsophmore-- I really like that picture too-- thanks!
