had a great sunday/monday not very crowded at all.. (due to the expected bad weather I suppose) saw a few busas monday.. but don't think they were from here... and we were loading up to leave when we saw them anyway.

hit the cherahola, & foothills, fontana dam.. etc. and wore the dragon out of course.. no problems... only one scary moment as I hit a hole in the pavement at full lean in the middle of a turn... scary! other than that everything was A-ok! Wish you guys coulda made it.

They were letting the level of the water down this week.. Made for some awesome shots of the dams.

fontana dam.. frikken awesome.. Never realized how big that dam was... 400+ feet tall.. that big water spray down there is 150 feet high, and moving at 95mph. They let the water go down this big mutha of a water slide and squirt it up in the air like that to slow down the erosion in the spill way. Frikken awesome.
