even great times must end, so i left my brother from another mother and my sister and struck out for the coast (after the rains and mudslides were fairly cleaned up) and followed it up to see the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz (can i say i sincerely wish there was lane splitting in all of the states?!?!?! what an awesome idea)

along the coast until i ate lunch while sitting on a rock wall and turned back east...always find a bit of sadness in the moment when i know i'm turning toward home, even if i know it may be a couple weeks before i get there (although tsunami evacuation route signs do light a fire under my willingness to leave the area :eek:)
