Would you prefer “Malibu Ken” or “Camping Fun Ken”?
Wow, is it Wednesday already? Ok.
We left Vegas for LA on Monday, and rode up the Pacific Coast Highway from Santa Monica through Malibu and to Oxnard. We started heading east and spent the night in a ‘discount’ hotel in the middle of the Mojave desert (in the town of Mojave, no less). Tuesday we went back through Barstow and headed east on 40 until we came to the Grand Canyon where we camped for the night. (I’ll let Vargo post the details on that one). Today has been relatively uneventful: we spent the morning at the Grand Canyon National Park and then headed east. We’re currently in a motel in Albuquerque, NM; washing our clothes and taking the first showers we’ve had in days. (gross)
In non-shower related news, one of the lids to the hardcase saddle bags on the touring bike blew off and slid under the wheels of an 18 wheeler, but when we circled back to pick up the pieces it miraculously survived save some scrapes across the top. The Motorcycle Gods are indeed smiling on us.
I’ll be posting a lot of pictures before the evening is up, so check back for that.
