Entry 32 - Big Bear
Star date - 24 August 2018
Distance: 344 miles
After spending 2 weeks in Palm Desert, California, it was clear to me that I was not making very good time and there wasn't a snowballs chance in hell I was going to be able to ride to Alaska. Why did I spend 2 weeks in Palm Desert? Several reasons. 1. A huge portion of Northern California was on fire. 2. The Mexican restaurant near the hotel was cheap and the food, delicious. 3. The big bag of marijauna I'd purchased was amazing. 4. I was enjoying swimming in the hotel pool and relaxing in the hot tub, pretty much stoned the whole time.
I decided to finally leave Palm Desert on 24 August, with zero desire to deal with traffic around Los Angeles. I plotted a route in the mountains above L.A., through Big Bear, California. It was a beautiful day of riding, though, the roads were such corkscrew like, I was getting disoriented from going up, down, and around. There was some smoke in the air from all the wildfires up north. Unfortunately, and I'm still not certain what happened, all my pics from this riding day were not on my memory card. I most likely pushed something I shouldn't have or it was simply an anomaly.
Along the route, I saw there was a biker friendly motel in Taft, California. I stopped there to see how nice the rooms were, a nice Indian Immigrant couple owned the establishment. I asked the owner's wife where I could smoke my pot, she said no problem, she unlocked the courtyard padlock for me and told me I could smoke down in there. So, I booked 3 nights and relaxed after a long ride in the mountains along with some smoke in the air. The couple turned out to be very hospitable during my stay, very friendly people.
