Larry's Open Road West ride Part 2

Mill Valley, California, United States

disappointingly, I left out a few notable stops along the way to flagstaff.

Moab, with the flurry of national parks in the vicinity was not to be missed

everyone needs a break. It wasn't what it looks like...

Monument Valley was another view spectacular.

Had to include the above spots. they are not to be missed!

so now, we are past Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon, on to Kingman and Palm Springs

First, a stop at Havasu City to see the London Bridge

with a small Harley Store nestled into a mall on the far side of the bridge!

and, for me, the last great stop on the ride, Joshua Tree national park

thats the tree, now the view...

after a night in Palm Springs, we finished the ride in Lancaster, CA. I rode home the next day to northern california.

I still smile when I think of the places I've been and seen, and the people I met. I'm already planning the next one.
