My adventures took me from Yuma, AZ, around the Salton Sea, through the back way to Del Mar (San Diego) and then up the PCH 1 to Balboa Island. If you ever want to visit a city entirely based on the meth trade I recommend Bombay Beach. If you want a place where people have all their teeth and aren't collecting a government check, I recommend Balboa Island.
you should clean your motorcycle so it doesn't rust after visiting Salton sea
ReplyDeleteI rode across from Yuma to San Diego last summer as a part of a trip through Utah and Colorado. 110 degrees in Phoenix which caused my battery to die, 86 degrees in Yuma at six in the a.m. when I left my hotel. Needless to say I didn't do any touristing on the way to San Diego, just got the hell across that bit of desert and over to the coast. You did miss a pretty spectacular bit of scenery by cutting up to the lake. The mountains around In-Ko-Pah park on I-5 are pretty unbelievable.
