Hi guys and gals!
We are back (Westernbiker & Queenbee) from our California coast trip. WOW! What a great time we had as I will show you in some of the pics coming up. A friend of mine I met in the Navy, his name is Clint, flew out with his wife Bert (Roberta) and rented a motorcycle to do this trip with us. We had a great time, rode I guess about 1300 miles all together. The Big Sur was closed so we had to bypass that using the 101 but got back on the coast highway just below San Fran. I tell ya, if you have never done the coast ride it is worth the trip for sure. Be aware you will probably get a little wet, experience some wind gusts that want to blow you into the next lane and lets not forget the FOG! Yea….well…..ya get past those things and WALA! Great ride. LMAO! Seriously, it is a fantastic trip and you should put it on your bucket list.
I took 175 pics overall but I only selected a few for your viewing pleasure…….well…..maybe more than a few…….yea….there are quite a few but it was so hard to choose which ones to show you.
ENJOY!
First night Ventura hotel on the beach.
On the road headed north.
Nice sun ring.

Into the fog we go! Could only see about 30 to 40 feet ahead.
Queenbee enjoying the ride and weather. LOL!
This is the house we rented, nice place huh? The place is called Saint Orre's. It's about 50 miles north of bodega bay.
View from second level porch. Cool huh?
They have a five star restaurant so we had to try it. This I believe is a cool tangerine soup with a rasberry sauce. It was tasty.
Hot puree red bell pepper soup.
Peppercorn filet.
Pheasent with some type of rice cake and sauce.
Wild mushroom ravioli.
Clint and Bert had to leave the next day so Connie and I are on our own from here.
Saint Orre's main restaurant.
Now my Bumblebee is broke in. LOL!
After such scenic beauty we had to stop that morning and have some Bloddy Mary's and they were GOOD!
We had decided to stay at this place I believe it was called Timber Cove Lodge. This is the view from our patio.
Ice cold Bud Light!!!!
We decided to wander arond see if we could get down the cliff. We could a little way but not all the way. Then we happen to find this little jewel part way down the cliff. You could not see what's in the next pic from up top, you had to hike down a ways.
Relaxing!
Queenbee getting ready for take off!
I like this pic.
At the edge.
There she goes again!
AHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Back at the room getting dinner time.
End of a GREAT DAY!
This is what we woke up to. Might be a tad wet today.
Seals enjoying the sun, well, what little there was. LOL!
Time to get going again.
Break time, we stopped for gas for the bike and some fuel for us also. We had a great view!
Well we rode most of the day and stopped in Pismo Beach, here is our view.
We got cleaned up and decided to take a stroll on the beach. It was very nice. Here's connie getting ready to do some beach combing. LOL!
It appears to be a bit on the chilly side.
The rules.
Time to eat. Yummy!
Clam chowder was awsome, not the best we will have, that will come tomorrow, but it was very good. This place did have the best fish and chips though.
The best of the whole trip.
Connie wanted dessert so, well...I gave in.
If you are ever here ya just gotta go!
Next morning time to go.
On the road again.
I think this shot has just about everything.
This shot to GREAT timing, LOL! Pretty good huh?
Done for the day ans Connie says it's beer o'clock.
Best clam chowder is here. This is on the Ventura pier.
Hey, ya better get up here the food is here!
This is next day. We just took a ride around till our next room opened up in Ventura. We planned to spen d a couple of days here but we could not find a room for two nights in a row. So we are just killing time till they finish getting our room ready. We like to spen at least one day NOT riding, just to relax and enjoy, eat and drink!
Finally got our room done, here is our view.
As Joe would say 'MONEY SHOT'
Plenty of time to stroll the beach.
More fish? Ok, I'm ready!
It was a great trip and if you have not done it, it should be on your bucket list.
All good things have to come to an end.
THE END!
