jeff and elise in the USA

we stopped at a biker saloon for about 2 hours and consumed 6 large glasses of water each, had an extraordinarily good meal. and were fussed over by the bar keep. feeling better the plan was get some water bottles and dig our hydration vests out of the trailer for the ride to Los angeles.

passed a cool maryln statue. and thought how appropriate.. of all peoples past and present
she was probably one of the few ditsy enough to stand outside all day in palm springs.


while talking to the saloon bar man we had spoken about the heat and the desert. and how long he had lived there... turns out he had been in palm springs a long time but had previously lived at the beach in san diego....
his comment on it was a classic...
"i used to think i loved the beach, but it turns out what i must really like is sand"

it must get windy in these parts

out here in the heat you can see why casinos are so alluring especially if you have a taste for gambling. we dont..

Harley dealers are a great place to score a free coffee lol.. the problem with that theory though is we usually end up buying a souvenir t shirt as well.. Elise collected poker chips from all the stores we stopped at across America. they will get put into a frame as a memento of the trip. This one is at Loma Linda near San bernadino

Now we know we are getting close to Los Angeles. The hydration vests have payed for themselves again

loved the under bridge art works. so much better than the aerosol scribblings of an idiot that cant spell his own name

there are lots of really good short words to describe LA traffic, but i feel it inappropriate to
use them here. some of them are also used to describe animal droppings. this was the beginning of a jamb that went all the way to our accommodation.

What kind of hydration vests are you using, if you find the time between the fun.

we found hollywood a bit sad and soulless. it was interesting to see the star sidewalk we would otherwise only see on tv. 5 minutes was enough.

saw the sign from the corner by our hotel and thought we would get a closer look later

next pics for NANA.. if the antics of 2 wheelers scare you check this guy out..

we came up alongside him at about 75 PMH. i think he was lucky to find a highway that moves enough to do this lol
