I left Reno and got into California a few miles later. I passed through the Sierra Nevada's where the scenery was beautiful but there weren't to many place to stop for photos. Then I rode through Sacramento and into San Fransisco. Route 80 in California has been the longest poor road conditions. They are working on the road in many places and believe me they need to! The road was bad in Gary Indiana but this road is bad from the Nevada border to San Fransisco.
It wasn't all pretty!
This is the San Fransisco "Bush Man." (or something like that). He hides in his home made bush and scares people as they go by, then hits them with one liner's. It's actually pretty funny. Obviously he's looking for a hand out. Later in the day I think I saw him get in his limo. What a racket!
Alcatraz.
All the hills were alot of fun to ride on. So was the famous Lombard St.
The Golden Gate Bridge was an outstanding experience!
What a view! What a drop. The bridge shakes when you are out there and you really feel it when looking over the railing. The tall, bold Starbucks coffee I brought out on the bridge with me didn't help! lol.

You are becoming quite a photographer!! Even better than you already are I should say... Lol! (Do I know you, or what!?) Those bridge shots are amazing. I remember the Wharf being kind of touristy, but still beautiful. Looking forward to the L.A. blog!
Hi Frank:
First off - I wanted you to know that I made my online donation to the Wounded Warrior Project today. Thanks for bringing this organization to my attention with The Ride. I think their organization really makes a difference to the wounded brave men and women returning home.
Next - your pictures and videos over the last few days are really great! Yellowstone, the buffalos (you were pretty close to them!), the salt flats (you looked very wind-burned), Utah, Reno (nice bikes) and now San Francisco. Cool interview with the TV station, too! Great job on everything. Be safe.
Anthony. (the "A" in ajpnet).
Thanks Susan. Getting the hang of this blogging a bit.
Thanks for your support Anthony!!! I'm glad you are enjoying the blog and that I was able to help bring the project to your attention.
P.S. Yes the buffalos were close!...lol.
WOW amazing photos!!! Loving the journey...it's awesome that you are able to be doing this!!! Hey while you're out there, can you check out some areas for me to move to?? I've been wanting to move out West either CA or AZ... btw i was going a completely different way with this comment and than at the last minute deleted it all...I'll post that thought another time!!! LOL
I think I'd punch that "bushman' right in the head if he jumped out and scared me!
Deana, The country is beautiful and there are many beautiful sections, towns and cities. However the more you see the more you appreciate what we have at home in Jersey. So in other words it would take spending a significant amount of time in the place you wanted to move before you did it.
You might Mike!...lol.
