It was a gorgeous, mysterious day today in Monterey. Sunny spent most of the day in his cube enjoying the view.
Mysterious Monterey Day
Over the Diablo Range on Highway 198
I took off very early from Palm Springs on my return trip to Monterey so that I would get back before dark. I took the 62 up to Yucca Valley where I jumped on the 247. Going by Johnson Valley my hands nearly froze off from the cold desert air. I saw a number of built 4x4s heading to Johnson Valley for King of the Hammers. Then in Lucerne Valley I got on the 18 toward Victorville where I got on the 395 up to Kramer Junction and Highway 58 through Mojave and Tehachapi and on to Bakersfield. Then across on 58 to the 5 where I went north a bit before I got over to the 33 up to Coalinga where I got on the 198 over the Diablo Range and then I met up with the 101 back to Salinas where I got on the 68 to get back to Monterey. It was a very long day of riding!
Around Palm Springs
We walked around Palm Springs during the lunch break from the conference. What a beautiful city in the desert!
Palm Springs has their own walk of fame. Here are some of the more interesting stars that I found.
After the conference, we walked through the night market on the main drag of Palm Springs. There was tons of art and other interesting things to sell.
