Santa Monica and the Pacific
This morning after 16 days on the road and 3732 miles, I reached the end of Route 66.
We left the hotel in Ontario at 6:30 in an effort to avoid the LA traffic. The 64 miles of 66 took us 2 hours and 45 minutes! The route winds through suburban LA as well as the city itself. We passed through Rancho Cucamonga, Claremont, Glendora, Arcadia, Pasadena, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills and finally Santa Monica. We saw the Hollywood sign on the hills above the city and stopped at Sunset and Vine. We saw a group starting to work on a Rose Bowl parade float and a lot of the oddities that you hear about in this part of the country. There is a great felling of satisfaction today. I am so glad that I did this trip.
Tonight is the "Survivor's Dinner" at our hotel and I plan on hitting the road for home tomorrow morning. First stop is Las Vegas tomorrow night!
Oh sorry but for some reason I cannot get the pictures from today off the camera.
Route 66 Adventure.
This cross country trip on my Harley has been in my head for years. Originally, I was going to take it in the spring of last year but cancer got in the way. Earlier this year I decided to do the LiveStrong Challenge so it got put off until now. It is a dream come true, one of many that I am blessed to have experienced.
I dedicate this trip to Patti, my favorite wife, who I'm sure doesn't always understand but always loves and supports me.
It is also dedicated to my friend, Sue, as she recovers from a serious bicycle accident. LiveStrong Sue!
I hope that all of you will enjoy the trip along with me!
