Day 12: Carmichael to Petaluma

I spent the last two nights at a friend's home in Sacramento (Carmichael). Over the past few years we've met at several Harley rallies and events, so it was very nice to get to know each other better.

Today's ride was another short one, less than 275 miles, so I didn't leave her house until after 0800. After hitting some dealerships along the way, I've finally arrived in Petaluma and am staying in an old silk mill that's been converted into a very nice Hampton Inn.

I came to Petaluma from Cincinnati for my friend's memorial ride on Sunday. Unfortunately, I found out yesterday that the ride has been postponed until the 24th because of a chance of weather. 🤦 FML. I've already made plans for the 24th, so this weekend I plan to go to a couple of the places he took me to the first time I visited this lovely little town.

I just love this place. If I had the wealth to live anywhere in the US, it would probably be the greater San Francisco Bay area.

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️
