Day 2

Day 2- JW rides America.

It was roller coaster type day from the time we left the La Panza campground. We awoke at about 5:30, and started building coffee and fried eggs, fresh tomatoes………why are we raised to always reference them as fresh…..just a curiosity is all. We had some fried potatoes ( Dan Quail style).

Sis and I left together and done the first huge hill but made it to the top only to find a drop and another as big as the first. The rest of the day all looked about the same until we rolled off the top and hit the valley headed for Bakersfield. I had myself on HWY 58, that really sucked, since there was heavy traffic and most drivers couldn’t read English it seemed. Need I say more, it got so bad that I just pulled over to find a side road and made it to another road with a shoulder and room for me.

_A place called California Valley in central Cal.
It was sort of a hurried day, since I had to drive back to home to take some pic’s of a VERY NICE WBS saddle.
We hit 70 plus miles, and 104 degrees

Good night and God Bless
