And the path from the parking lot.

I don't ever recall seeing an International dealer at any time in my life. Somebody sold them.

The plate sequence says 1963 model. The first year of the yellow on black plates. Looked in good shape. Has a 289 in it.

.50 a call.

There's some kind of eating and drinking establishment right after the construction. It is a bad mix, drinking and riding.

I'm about 80% sure I'm retiring at the end of the year. With the plant closing and my industry taking a death spiral, I'm hardpressed to think of an reason to stay. Once we take our next pay cut in October to pay for our medical, that will be enough nonsense for me.
Besides, Marie asked me the other day about going to Death Valley next spring to see the flowers. Can't spend a month in Shoshone if I'm working.

It looked like there was some neon to it as well.

This is in the Santa Cruz Mountains, in redwood country. We continued south on SH-9 and drove through some pretty countryside. Gas was even under $4 a gallon right in town. We saw more than one sportbike and moto getting gas.

This isn't as popular as Alice's, just up SH-35 at SH-84. But it makes for a nice spot to pull off. There's hiking trails right from the parking lot, but no dogs allowed.

didn't quite pull into the scenic view in time to get these two Porsches parked. The red one had the classic black on yellow plates. I would have liked to talk with these drivers, but it was not meant to be.

I'm hunkered down in the car wash at work for a few days. I worked a dayside shift yesterday and double back again Tuesday night for Wednesday day. Marie came down yesterday and she's going home tomorrow. We went for a drive today. These were taken on SH-9 between Saratoga and SH-35. There were a number of hard ridden motorcycles ripping past.
