20,000 Miles Done!! 💪

I slept in this morning, then got locked out of my room while trying to load the bike, so I didn't get rolling until after 0800 😱.

But maybe that was a good thing because I didn't hit any really bad traffic. Sometimes it was stop and go, but mostly moving. I did a lot of lane splitting, which is more difficult since this bike is half the size of a car 🤣. But for the most part, drivers in the left lane move left to make room for you, including the cop I passed. It's just how it's done here. I always keep an eye flickering to what's behind me, and I move out the way of the other bikes, who are usually skinnier than Michael and who go waaaaay faster than I do.

At noon I found a McDonald's to use their wifi for a "meeting" about my RV campground membership. They swore it wasn't a sales pitch. It was a sales pitch. Only $11,000 more and all of this and that and this could be mine 😱!! 💋 MY 🫏.

Back on the road down to San Diego and another location for the Four Corners and Lap of the 48--San Ysidro--just this side of the border from Tijuana. This time I took my pic at the post office and didn't get caught in the border traffic.

After a couple more pics, I shot 70 miles out I-8 East for one single photo where I thought I also might be able to sleep. Maybe I could've, but the little dirt town was a bit too nothing for me, so I turned around and came back to San Diego. On the way back I rolled 20,000 miles on the year!!!!!

I'm a bit north in San Marcos, tucked away in a busy semi-residenntial area at the HD, but in between a pickup and a trailer with my bike in front of me, so I think I'll be okay. Must leave early though, so time to get some shuteye.

Oh, three dealerships I hit today were permanently closed 😔.

Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️
