Hotel Colonial - Mexicali

... but he didn't know English and I don't know enough Spanish. He tried calling someone who might know English, but to no avail, so he ran out on the street and started asking people, which was nice. Maybe a bit too nice. He found this man who spoke excellent English and helped us out incredibly, giving us extensive directions. The only directions he didn't mention were where to go strait ahead of us, as the highway split in two different ...

After my class I left at 9:00 a.m. for Price, my hometown, which is where my brother Logan lives with my mom.  It's about two hours away, so I stopped in Price to get him, pack some camping gear, eat lunch, and we went on our way.  We drove about 10 hours to Imperial Sand Dunes and camped there that night.  Just a lot of driving.  Nothing too exciting about that!  

... even though they did not have much. It made me feel guilty for stressing over the smallest problems back home. I learned so much about myself on that trip. It was the first time I realized how different people were all around the world. I was fascinated with all the colors of the cities, how different it all was from Bothell, Washigton. I also enjoyed the strange foods they had, I actually tried ...

Toward the bottom of the Salton Sea, we stopped to check out Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge. It really sucked that the Visitor's Center closes on weekends, which you would think should open for tourists. We hiked on a short trail to Red Hill and got a closer look of the sea. Along the hike, there were a lot of little ...

... that Patrick was no longer employed. Questioning the loss of Patrick (the owners son), he was told that he'd been let go for embezzlement. Guess that explains the great rate! We're still about 100 miles from our launch point and the traffic (in the middle of the desert) has ground to a stop. It appears to be one of those random border patrol stops designed to catch the illegal entrants ...

... are retiring early so that we can watch President (oops, I mean Senator, at least for a little while longer) Obama's acceptance speech and make it an early night. We plan to get started just after 3 tomorrow morning to get a jump on the heat and the 650 miles we will cover tomorrow. I'm not sure Blake will sleep, it's like Christmas for him and he's got visions of V-twins dancing in his head. Keep a good thought for us and watch ...

... brought along a killer set of tools for roadside repairs and service. I'll have some detailed bike updates for my fellow moto-heads. But all this great stuff is of no use if we can't escape LA!! Here's Malin again - the ride from Ventura to El Centro: One thing that worried me about this trip was the heat. Sitting on a motorcycle in all the gear when it is over a 100 degrees outside is almost unbearable. However we thought we ...

... climb. You get the idea. Guess what happens when you start at sea level? I peaked at about 4500 ft, but there was a lot of up and down getting there. I have always been a numbers kind of guy. My rides have always had me thinking about how far I've gone, how far I've got to go, average speed, how many watts, etc. Guess what you don't want to think about on a ride like this. Exactly. Put about 150 ...

Had an interesting adventure with faulty MapQuest directions. We got close to the border, pulled a U-Turn so we wouldn't cross the border. We then got pulled over by the border patrol for an "illegal entry". After looking at our directions and finding out we were on our way to a school, we were let off without a ticket. Just a warning suggestion we stay away from the border-crossing. Praise God we made it in time to do the special chapel service.
