10-03-27 Anza Borrego Springs Wildflower Ride

[johnny]

if you are looking for a wildflower report... keep on looking... i aints gotts no flower report... who knew tens of thousands of folks would be rolling and clustering up the anza borrego...

we were rolling out to the desert when we approached a rather slow 2up r1150rt in the twisites... they wouldnt pull to the fog line and let us pass so i downshifted and wound up the bug and blew by that sack of potatoes... i noticed the bavarian pig had a pink roundel and the passenger had the same outfit as the viffergyrl... we slowed down and sure enough it was the viffergyrls bavarian pig and she was riding b1tch...



we discovered it was the m.brane at the controls and the viffergyrl navigating...



we pulled in behind them and watch the viffergyrl using the shoulder tap navigation method... he he he... i bet the m.brane was happy they didnt have an intercom... sometimes its good not to have an intercom...

it was very clear... heading to who knows where... o... palomar...













mo was hanging on at palomar... but she got a photo from the top looking west...



we blast out to the s22... past ranchita... aka sweeper madness...





we were midpack in the 30mph parade to the bottom... so we just took in the sights...







the ocotillos and cactus were blooming...







we stoppede a a full carlees places for food...

j o... black n blue burg...



m.brane... mushroom n chee burg...



viffergyrl... avocado n chee burg...



m o... club sand...





we roll out of that mess and yeeeeeehaaaa... sweeper madness uphill with no blockers...









rolling the s2... to the banner grade...





the banner grade was a cluster... i know... 20mph horse tailers own the road... its their turff anyway... so here we are... the s1 aka the sunrise highway...

















break break break

picked up japatul rd to lyons valley to see jackblack...




















introducing jackblack...  some of you fiolks recall blackjack... who passed away at 34 years old... he was loved and missed...





rolling highland valley rd...






..














we split up at the 15... catching thermals over lake elsinore at dusk...



up and over the ortega...





free run of the licorice... yeeeeeehaaaaaa.... thats all...
