We visited some of the regular places.  The Lavender Farm store was closed.  Good ride.  Because I'm on the bike, and just using the phone camera, I didn't get a lot of pictures.


Overlook at lake Chumash.

Penmaker composing a shot.

About a 30 mile very curvy and rough road brought us to Jalama Beach.  A few miles North of Point Conception.

Sum Beach

It's a campground, RV park and home of many Beach activities and Surfers.  The Cafe is famous for it's Jalama Burgers.  





Typical VROC get-together.....no Valcans. Yet.

A very well behave little Maltese.  He's a total sweetheart

One of the old Original Signs

Phil said it was fine, but not as good as the burger he had next to the motel last night


We didn't order at the same time.  Everyone was finished eating by the time Skid, Sandy and I had our food.  I just ordered a small bowl of Chili and some Onion rings.  They were good.

Good Rules


There were some Surfers out today.  Smallish waves

Arriving Solvang 2017

The Pearblossom Highway in Southern California

Highway 101 near Santa Barbara, CA

Ray, Don (Penmaker) Cranky Sandy and Skid.  There are 9 of us here so far

Sandy ordered chicken strips.  FOUR huge pieces.  She could only eat one.  I think Skid had them for a midnight snack

Phil ordered a hamburger.  

Chick my little Ninja blender cup,  I mixed up some spinach, Romaine, and vital greens for dinner.

Olsen's Bakery is remodeling today.  So we went to Paula's for Breakfast

Cranky, Penmaker and VSP.  Sue and Ray and just left

Sandy's nice Danish pancake

A Basic Veggie omelette. NO potatoes or bread.  With tax and a $2.00 tip,  the bill was $16.22!  Maybe I won't eat here again.

Lots of workers.  A ONE day remodel of the  show room and breakfast room at Olsen's

Donald is on Guard Duty at the motel

Penmaker and Phil. A cold, foggy, morning

Nice Indian!  Or, for the Canadians, this is a First Nation bike.
