Love everything about your journey.
Keep posting up photos when opportunity allows.

I did the seasucker route as well.
Shipped my bike down to a shop, picked it up and did 2 days of cycling to break up the seat time.
Dropped bike off at next town along with seasucker and mailed it back to myself.
Wish I had snow around the SE on that trip, that would have been a trifecta.

Good point on shipping bike. I have rented so far on this trip. Unlike Euro Delivery, where we drove them around 5 countries, which worked great. And man the great cycling!

San Bernadino National Forest and Mount San Jacinto. Rain and heavy fog, but great mountain roads.

Also took a page from Matt Hummel's page and went exploring a bit off the beaten path. Michelin Alpins provide great grip on sand, too.

One of 15 Lockheed A-12s built for the CIA. Operational 1963-68. By '68, its successor, the SR-71 Blackbird was flying. This is one
of nine surviving planes, at San Diego Air & Space Museum.

Had a chat with a San Diego PD Officer. He stopped to show pictures of his 1986 911 Flachbau.

So cool! I might retrace your SoCal trip this summer to visit family and friends- Wilhoit cars look amazing!

So much AWESOMENESS in this thread! Thank you for sharing OP. Love seeing Porsches get driven like this. One of the best threads I've ever seen on Rennlist.
