3 drink ride

Ok picture this "riding along on our harley- obiles" the California desert before us- I mean 160 miles of skulls and tumbleweeds and then a town appears...thank goodness I sure was hot, hungry, and in need of fuel. It was a quaint kind of town and we actually stopped at a wonderful restaurant and pondered the rest of the day. Once we were in air conditioning - it must have been 105 deg. out - I decided lets forge West!!! Well we looked at maps and decided on about 70 more miles to San bernardino - no sweat - just jump on the super slab and within an hour or so there you are right in time for early cocktail hour. Hell we're on the pacific time zone so we have lots of fudge room. Anyway we left and within 10 minutes WAM we were in the middle of California - Los Angeles type traffic....you know 5 lanes of trucks, suv's, and 5 million or so people who needed to be on this stretch of road with you and all of them traveling at warp speed. WOW - where did they all come from???? I mean it was like they just appeared and wanted your space. So after what appeared to be 2 days of traveling we finally got off and found a great hotel in Rancho Cucamonga Ca. As the crow flies it is only about 50 miles from the coast....unfortunately you have to go through LA to get there. What to do....what to do???? Now after 3 drinks I finally decided to yes touch the coast and then get the hell out of dodge. So tomorrow it is on to Santa Monica and then up the coast on the Pacific Coast Highway which is breathtaking. What a trip. We love you guys, ya'll take care and keep smiling ....driving in the fast lane Flame and the big dog
