California Big Sur Coastal Riding and Camping (Video)

WHAT’S BETTER THAN MOTORBIKE RIDING AND CAMPING ALONG THE BIG SUR COASTLINE? Not too much. On the other hand, I’m one for riding and camping anywhere with mountains and lots of twisty roads.

Dominating the [...]

Nacimiento-Fergusson Road: Rock & Roll Rollercoaster

This little ride is “not” about the Big Sur section of California Highway 1. This ride is about a rock and roll rollercoaster connecting a chain of deer paths with a feeble ribbon of wilderness asphalt. Your back door is wider than some sections of this amusement park excursion. No. This ride is not about [...]
