Not much to say about today. Lots of riding, all of it extremely fun. Crossed out of california and into oregon. Covered a lot of miles but didn't quite make it to portland like I hoped. I am however less than 400 miles from Vancouver, so I should cross the border tomorrow. The drive on the rest of highway 1 and us 101 along the coast was fantastic. Drove through the redwood forest including through a giant tree. Have a photo of that to post I think. Was inland a few times through wooded areas, all great riding roads with lots of twisties. It is state law for slower vehicles to use turnouts in oregon, which I and other motorcycles really appreciate in the forests. Just about everything is slower than a motorcycle through a good set of sharp curves.
Covered maybe 500 or 600 miles, not entirely sure. I've been having trouble with the garmin since a little before san diego. It is randomly turning off or restarting. Today I had very few turns, so the restarting wasn't a problem, but in LA it was annoying since I really needed the map. Replaced the fuse just in case, but I don't think that was the problem. Should be okay for the rest of the trip, but I may need to pay best buy a visit or call garmin when I get home. I can only get it to restart while riding, never while stopped. It must have something to do with the vibrations, making it hard to diagnose the problem. Oh and I should pass the 15,000 KM mark sometime tomorrow.
