We then allowed Ms. GPS to decide the route to BFE.
We went south toward Lake Tahoe and then west over Carson Pass, we had to wait about 30 minutes whilst a blasting operation was carried out at the top of the pass.
The ride was fantastic, there is still snow at the very top of the pass, at about 9,000 feet.
It just made for a long day even though we did not ride a lot of miles.
We crossed from Nevada into California and rode out through the San Joaquin Valley and on past Stockton, California, yes another one of those places, of which you guys from England have heard.
We got on to the 5 freeway and went south about 60 miles to our turn off and then about 6 miles to the hotel.
When we decided to reroute the last part of the trip to include Reno, I looked for a place about halfway between Reno and home. When I searched the Best Western site Los Banos came up. I thought "I know where that is"
But of course I should have gone o Santa Nella which is about 15 miles away.
OH WELL!!!
You can't win them all.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Americanism BFE, you will have to ask someone who knows the meaning.
There will be a final round up of the trip tomorrow.
Jeff and I would like to thank everyone for their continued interest in our adventures.
We would also like to thank Kelly and Anne for their forbearance in allowing us to take the trip.
We love you both and are looking forward to being home tomorrow.
Best wishes from the:
Mild Hogs,
