There was a guard rail here but not much shoulder. We were on the lookout for rocks in the road (there were some). Not much room or time to correct.
One other thing, I never have had this happen in the Smokey’s. You get your line set on a tight curve and roll in....and there is some guy peddling a bike up a steep incline on the inside of a blind curve! I'm sorry, I just don't get 15 revolutions to the linear foot! Wow. What do these guys get out of climbing a mountain that way? How many healthy but squished corpses do you guys get? :nixweiss: Sorry, no pictures to share. (Refer to BSR's SUAHO). Scared the crap out of her when we ran up on each one. ;)

Sad when your cell phone out classes your camera. I've got to get a new camera!

I've been driving all day so this is it for tonight. So far we have been to Reno, Redding, and out to Trinidad. Next is the Redwoods. We are only into Lunch on day two so far! We were rolling faster than I am posting!

In fact Erniezap just posted a tribute to JC - and I agree 100% didn't make all his rides but will miss him (and his wife) on the road.  Nobody posted more great pics on the site of the roads we have out here!  Thanks Ernie for the tribute to a great rider!

Headed into the redwoods. The bikes against the trees gives you some idea of the size.

We could have stayed here all day. It was so peaceful. I got the same feeling that I got at the Grand Canyon. You look at something like this and feel like a speck of sand. These trees were here long before I was and will be standing there (hopefully) untold years after I'm gone.
