G18 to the G14
Those in the inner circle know my fascination with historic highways in California, so when I saw this label I HAD to have it. The county route G-roads were signed and numbered in the 70’s with G18 being a short east-west connector between El Camino Real (US101) and the much-longer G14 which runs North-South across San Luis Obispo and Monterey Counties. This winery lies near the confluence of G18…

Black Sand Shores, CA (No. 5)
In 1909, an advertisement for the Idlewild Hotel on the Little Sur River stated that the camp would be accessible by auto as soon as the "Cerro Grade", the stretch of road from the coast to the Little Sur River near Cerro Hill, was completed. In 1910, the Monterey Daily Cypress reported that Mr. and Mrs. A.E. Cooper "motored down to Mrs. Martha M. Cooper ranch at Sur, leaving Monterey at 12 midnight and arriving there at 2 a.m." But the road was still very rough, and most goods including cheese produced on the Cooper Ranch was still shipped by boat to Monterey. The Idlewild competed with the Pfeiffer Resort for guests through about 1920, when the Idlewild was forced out of business by Martha Cooper, who acquired the land. In 1904, residents extended the unpaved road from the Pfeiffer Resort to the Post Ranch, and then it was extended another 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south to Castro Canyon, near the present-day location of Deetjen's Big Sur Inn.
As late as the 1920s, only two homes in the entire region had electricity, locally generated by water wheels and windmills. Most of the population lived without power until connections to the California electric grid were established in the early 1950s. The region has always been relatively difficult to access and only the sturdiest and most self-sufficient settlers stayed.
In July 1937, the California Highways and Public Works department described the journey, "There was a narrow, winding, steep road from Carmel south ... approximately 35 miles to the Big Sur River. From that point south to San Simeon, it could only be traveled by horseback or on foot."The southern portion, which was for many years merely a foot and horse trail, became known as the "Coast Ridge Road". It used to begin near the Old Post Ranch. It is currently only accessible on foot from near the Ventana Inn. It passes through private land and connects with the Nacimiento-Fergusson Road. It follows the crest of the coastal ridge south about 34 miles (55 km) to within a couple of miles of Cone Peak.  Both the Old Coast Road and the Coast Ridge Road are often unusable during and after winter storms.
The southern region of Monterey County coast was isolated from the few settlements in the north by the steep terrain. The southern homesteaders were more closely tied to the people in the interior San Antonio Valley including the Jolon and Lockwood areas than to coastal communities to the north. Those who lived in the vicinity of the Big Sur River were connected with Monterey to the north.
A horse trail connected Jolon through present-day Fort Hunter Liggett to Wagon Caves, and from there over the Santa Lucia range, from which two trails split to the coast or to the Los Burros Mining District.
The horse trail across the mountains was widened and improved into a road beginning in 1931, and completed in 1937. The road was constructed by crews composed of men from the Civilian Conservation Corp, U.S. Forest Service, and state and county relief agencies.

Carretera Cerrada
Una mañana fresca del 1 de enero de 2018, emprendimos camino de regreso a casa. Nos encontrábamos en San Francisco, originalmente cabe mencionar era un road trip en el que me aventuraría conmigo misma, sin embargo al platicarle a un amigo de lo que pensaba hacer, me dijo si se podía anexar, a lo cual accedí.
No esta mal compartir gastos ¿No creen?
Entonces iniciamos ese regreso de aproximadamente 10 horas, en el cual pasamos por algunos lugares iconos de esta ciudad.
Tumblr media
Golden Gate Bridge - Baterry Spencer
Tumblr media
Lombard Street, San Francisco, CA
Tumblr media
Twin Peaks, San Francisco, CA
Después de dar un pequeño tour por la ciudad de San Francisco, tomamos ruta hacia Mexicali, la idea fue ir por toda la costa, pasando por Monterey, CA hasta San Luis Obispo, una vez ahí dejar la costa y tomar la I-5.
Llevábamos 2 horas en el camino San Francisco - Monterey, CA
Tumblr media
Pero de lo que nunca nos percatamos, fue que un tramo de la carretera estaba cerrada por que estaba en reparación. Solo pudimos llegar a un poblado llamado Gorda, CA. para eso ya teníamos 2 horas más en el camino pasaban de las 6pm, necesitábamos gasolina y comida.
Gasolina al doble del precio
Sin batería los celulares
Nos bajamos para ver que pasaba, no fuimos los únicos atrapados en medio de la nada prácticamente, entonces el señor de la gasolinera quien estaba a punto de cerrar nos mencionó dos opciones:
Pasar por un camino de terracería en medio de la montaña (1:30 hrs)
Regresar a Monterey (2 hrs)
Tumblr media
Para eso en la estación de gas, cargamos un poco los celulares y una batería extra, en lo que se cargaban, platicamos con algunos de los que llegaban para ver que opción tomaríamos, entonces nos encontramos unos paisanos quienes también regresaban a Mexicali.
Platicando con ellos llegamos al acuerdo de ir en caravana por en medio de la montaña, ellos venían en una camioneta, la señora manejando con dos hijas y un amigo-novio. Ni ella sabia como llamarlo, ya que me platicó que se sentía muy grande como para presentarlo como novio y pues tampoco estaban casados como para decirle marido, en fin.
Nuestros celulares cargaron poco, entonces le pedimos de favor si podía cargar nuestra batería extra en su camioneta, a lo cual accedió,
Como todos unos aventureros nos lanzamos por terracería
Como muchas caravanas, no fue caravana. No le alcanzamos el paso a la señora, tiene el pie pesado, ni el polvo le vimos. Empezamos muy bien terracería de un solo camino, con tramos pegados al barranco y zona con bastantes curvas (recordemos que pasaban las 7pm). Todo seguía bien hasta que nos percatamos que también venían autos de regreso, entonces bajamos la velocidad y empezamos a tener cuidado, ya que la única luz era la del carro y la luna, hasta parecía cita romántica excepto porque estábamos en medio de la nada.
Rezando para que no nos tronara una llanta, porque no se apareciera un loco con una sierra,  Jeepers Creepers ó un tanque militar.
Si un tanque militar porque nos comentaron que tomando la carretera nacimiento pasaríamos por un cuartel militar, y pues que si, pasamos por Fort Hunter Liggett, que siguiéramos el camino pasando por Jolon y Lockwood hasta llegar a la 101 que nos llevaría casi directo a casa.
Fue hora y media que ni ganas de platicar nos dieron, no logramos tomar fotos, porque para empezar ni nos acordamos, con todo lo que estaba pasando, hasta el hambre se nos quitó, finalmente logramos llegar a la 101 y en la carretera nos encontramos con la señora y nos detuvimos en un descanso.
Platicamos un poco acerca del camino, lo peligroso y que ella prefirió pisarle para salir lo mas pronto posible de ahí, por la seguridad de sus hijas, eso fue lo que nos comentó. Nos entregó la batería (La idea de la señora era no esperarnos y hacerme llegar la batería a la oficina donde trabajo, ya que en la platica salió el tema que conoce a la que era socia de una marca conocida de uniformes. Si, Mexicali es un rancho, ha California también, recordemos que allá nos encontramos)  y nos dijo que se detuvo en el camino porque sus hijas le dijeron que nos esperara, ya que escucharon cuando comentamos que teníamos poca batería. Casi lloro al escuchar eso, una vez mas la vida demostrando que hay personas muy buenas allá afuera, angelitos que nos ayudan en el camino. 
Por eso hoy te digo, no es tratarte como me trates, es tratar a las personas como nos gustaría que nos trataran independientemente de las bofetadas que podamos recibir, ya que el día de mañana cosecharemos lo sembrado.
Finalmente después de un largo camino y sin mas terracería llegamos sanos y salvos a casa.
Aproximadamente 4 de la mañana del 2 de enero del 2018

Prime camp on the Salinas River a little west of King City. I can easily imagine Los Burros Miners resting here. Much like they must have felt, there's a bit more light and the mountains are far off. Besides, people scare me and this spot gives me the creeps. Jolon Road, ahoy! (at King City, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL7-TwXD_l8/?igshid=oqhi0ggixh7x

Day 8 continued
Obviously all the physical struggle brought up emotional struggle most of the day, it's really wild how our systems work like that.  It wasn't all dark though, I did photograph lots of road kill, beautiful rolling hill, big sky, scenic overlooks and animals.  I think I finally got a good shot of these majestic brown hawks I keep seeing out here. I'm about 30 miles inland and the weather changes completely, hence the temperature variance yesterday of 57 to 100 degrees. I rode from PCH out 46 for 26 miles to Paso Robles where I had lunch at Joe's place, a very patriotic local staple there. Then rode through town and headed out toward the lake on Nacemiento Lake Dr.  I ended up riding over a road that is the top of the damn which created that lake, there was a 30 foot hill lake side covered in boulders but it wasn't enough to deter me from climbing down, stripping down and take a dip to cool off and refresh.  I could have used that dip several more times in the day, at that point putting my clothes back on and preparing to ride I could have had no idea what the next 50 miles had in store or how far I would be pushing myself to get through it. I rode on, climbing hill after hill as the temperature also climbed and took a toll on my body and hydration.  I had as much water as I ever do, 64 oz, but I was twice as thirsty.  Nacimiento Dr turned into Godfrey Rd and ran 20 miles,  then Interlake Rd was 20 miles and took me past Lake San Antonio.  It finally took me into Lockwood, population 279, where I was told there was a store.  That is exactly all there was.  knowing that it was ahead is all that kept me going and I couldn't think of anything past it,  all I could focus on was getting cold gatorade in my body and replenishing the salts I was loosing.  This is when I realized I was hallucinating the car sounds from behind over and over and that I seriously needed to stop.  When I got off the bike I was so dazed and weary that I knew I was in trouble.  This is a point in my life I will always remember with amazement. The body is so incredible and simple really, as a machine, there is a formula of how it runs and what's required.  My mind was so stuck in the experience of the now, and the distraught and defeated emotions, that it couldn't fathom that I would come around and be ok to ride again. While my body was resting, rehydrating, and preparing to finish what my subconscious knew it had to do, because it set out to do it, my mind was only catching up. About 45 minutes later I realized I wasn't getting out of this and I had 24 miles left to go.  That tiny oasis in the dessert flowing with gatorade sat at the intersection of Interlake and Jolon Rd, that was my last turn that would take me home all the way to King City and the Motel 6 I had booked to treat myself at the end of what I new would be a difficult day. The over sixty mile stretch from Paso Robles to King City was only on three roads, just over half of which had shoulders, around the lakes there was a lot of traffic from lake goers, campers and boats in tow, but afterward I would ride for miles and miles in the middle of the lane with no one passing in either direction.  Lucky for me I had climbed so much already in the day that I was at a significant elevation so the last 25 miles didn't have any serious climbs, a couple gradual sections but I was able to keep a good pace for most of it.  The fastest down hill, where I hit my max speed of 44 mph was on a beautiful stretch about two miles long.  I remember when I was in Laguna a week ago and was going down hill I was nervous to approach 30 mph with all the gear on the bike but it hasn't taken long to get used to it.  I believe the fastest I ever went on my bike before, without gear, was only 45 so I'm pretty stoked about my top speed yesterday, especially because I had to take some pretty burly turns at high speeds to keep up the momentum to hit that max.  I love going to downhill! After the downhill high wore off I was counting down the last miles and hoping not to have to climb again before the finish line.  It was a life saver to to get to talk with my parents on the phone for a while during that last stretch.  It's becoming a thing for my mom to talk me through my last stretches some days,  It really counts for a lot! Especially yesterday because there was no service for most of the day, I couldn't talk on the phone, listen to my books or podcasts or music.  I never ride with nothing but my thoughts,  it's usually to heavy and I have spent the last year and a half distracting myself away from my thoughts with whatever is pumping through my ear buds, usually NPR and audio books.  I have learned a lot about many topics and I am proud of my education from this time, but at the same time I recognize in my grieving, healing and processing that I have essentially been pinching the hose and restricting the flow with these distractions. Days like yesterday are when the hose releases and all the pressure comes rushing through. I am grateful for yesterday.  My legs are beyond soar/tired, my back is screaming, and my hands are so soar they are itching a lot.... really weird.  Oh yeah, and one other thing, when you get off the coast of California it's basically Texas.  More big trucks and good ol boys than liberal bumper stickers and hippies that's for sure!

Car Insurance - PLEASE READ!?
In 2004, I saw a car that I wanted to buy at a Nissan car dealership and I took out a loan. At the time I didn't know anything about insurance. It was all greek to me. I was very young and had no one to help me out. Anyway, I went to American Family Insurance and the agent seemed very nice. I told him that I wanted to buy this car and before I could finalize everything I had to show proof that I had full coverage on the vehicle. He told me that I most definitely had to get full coverage and I signed the paperwork, gave him a check and my insurance coverage started. I NEVER CHANGED MY COVERAGE!! (Let me make that clear). So 1.5 years later my car slid on the ice and another lady thought she could speed to get around me and she instead hit me. The officer stated that none of us were at fault because I was sliding when I should have been in control of my car and she should have never tried to pass me so we would each be responsible for our own damage. Right away I called my agent and he later called me back and stated I didn't have collision coverage and I would have to pay out of pocket for my damage. Again, I didn't know anything about insurance and I had totally forgotten that collision was required so I believed this guy. I left it at that but was very upset with him because he stated that I didn't have collision coverage and I told him that as a professional insurance agent, he should have told me that I needed full coverage on this practically new car!!! So, 6 months later, it was still bothering me and I left him. The car wasn't drive-able (I had to pay $600 just to fix something with the wheel mount) and then it was drive-able but there are dents in the car and damage that equals $2,000 to fix. That may sound cheap to some of you but it isn't to me. Just 3 days ago, I was telling this story to someone and they told me that I should have had full coverage on the vehicle and I should look into this. I called American Family and a lady is doing some investigating because she could see I had insurance on my car in 2004 but didn't know what kind. But, she confirmed that my car was under a lien and the insurance agent would be required to put me on a full coverage in the state of Wisconsin. So, this lady stated she would call me back on Saturday. In a perfect world, she could state either 1). You had collision coverage at that time and your car will be fixed at our expense or 2.) Your agent never put you on full coverage. Come Saturday, what if she says that it turns out my agent never put me on full coverage? Isnt he at fault? Everyone (including their own company) states he should have known to put me on full coverage! So, can I try suing the company? Im thinking even though the lady was really nice and told me that my insurance agent should have known better that Ill hear something from them stating that their computer system shows that I was a client in 2004, but they dont know what type of coverage I was on. In the end, they will probably want to cover their butts. Please offer any suggestions! THANKS! And yes, I have become more knowledgeable about insurance for my sake. :)""

Why does registration for a newer car cost more than an older?
Registering my 2011 vehicle in California costs 2.5 times ($249) more than my '94 vehicle ($99). I understand with auto insurance there's a premium to insure the newer vehicle because it is valued more, and if I get into an accident, it would cost the insurance company more for repairs/replacement for the newer vehicle. I can't imagine an accident with either car would cost the gov't any differently, so why is there an age discrimination being applied here? I have a feeling this is some BS fee. Am I right, or can someone please clarify.""

He uses it 5 days a week for work anyway ill probably only be using it during the weekends, I'm only really going on his so I can get a couple of years on my license and when it comes to it my insurance won't be a fortune, I'm 25 just now, worked out if I want to have my own insurance it with a small 1L engine it would cost me 1547 a year, not gonna happen, so I'm going to go onto my fathers insurance as 2nd driver to his car. A 1.8L vauxhall vectra. Ok now to the question lol, my fathers insurance just now is 26 a month, with me going on to his insurance it will work out at 18 each a month, is this normal? Insurance to go down when you add a 2nd named driver who would only have passed his test?? This is fully comprehensive cover. But if I wanted to driver my own car a small 1L engine it would be roughly 129 a month. Seems like it doesn't add up. Go figure lol Got the quotes from go compare and confused.com.

Burning lava, hot ash: Kilauea
(Reuters) – The spectacle of Hawaii’s erupting Kilauea volcano challenges photographers of the rare display to avoid being hypnotized by it and instead look at the whole picture, including the human toll from the burning lava, hot ash and poisonous gases.
Lava erupts from a fissure east of the Leilani Estates subdivision during ongoing eruptions of the Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii, U.S., May 13, 2018. REUTERS/Terray Sylvester
Since Kilauea began erupting on May 3, many residents of the Puna district of Hawaii’s Big Island have cleared out, even as some roadways were blocked by lava flows and gashes in the ground that spewed molten lava.
Lava flows are not new to Puna but it is unprecedented for fissures to emerge within communities like Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens, which have been hard hit.
To get more of the picture, on May 13 I boarded a helicopter at the airport in Hilo, about 25 miles from Leilani Estates, and flew over the most active eruption area.
Days of cloudy, rainy weather and restrictions from the Federal Aviation Administration had made scheduling the flight problematic, but in the end our timing was good.
At around 6 a.m., we were hovering at 4,000 feet, watching the 17th fissure of this eruption open.
It had begun only hours earlier and was already about 1,000 feet long and belching steam and chunks of lava several hundred feet into the sky. It was in a sparsely populated area east of Leilani Estates.
Still, from the helicopter I could see at least two homes within a mile of the lava.
The next day, the owner of one of them invited me to the hill-top property about a quarter of a mile above the fissure. He was sipping seltzer water with several friends, watching the spectacle from a second story porch. The fissure did not seem to pose any immediate danger, but frequent explosions in it caused his house to shudder.
The noise from those explosions and venting steam and gas was loud enough that we had to shout to communicate. He seemed fatigued, unnerved by the constant onslaught. He said he just wanted it to end.  
A caretaker and his family were at a home much closer to the fissure, which was hurling bright red semi-molten rock into the sky.
I watched chunks of lava land on a lawn and clatter off a metal roof. One crashed into a tree, where it momentarily dangled, glowing red like a Christmas ornament.
Lava chunks that fall from the sky cool quickly. One local resident, Jolon Clinton, 15, said a golf ball-sized lava bomb hit her leg. It singed her clothing but she brushed it off before her skin burned.
Intense fumes have also caused people to relocate. At a Red Cross Evacuation Center in Pahoa, 72-year-old Linda Dee Souza looked after her African Gray parrots, Clucky and Mary Magdalene, with whom she fled her home in the coastal community of Kalapana because of dangerous sulphur dioxide fumes.
She was one of hundreds who left Lower Puna over fumes and the risk that roads to their homes would be cut off.
On May 14, Halemaumau Crater near the summit of Kilauea gave up towering plumes of ash. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, where Kilauea is located, is closed because of the activity.
I drove toward Halemaumau and joined people along the sides of Highway 11 and then at a golf course in a community named Volcano. The crater vented a constant screen of smoke and ash.
I was on the golf course when, just before sunset, a huge ash column shot high into the sky. Surprisingly, I found the event peaceful. I could not hear an explosion. The ground did not shake. Birds were singing.
The tourists, residents and journalists around me seemed awestruck.
Constantin Plinke, a visiting German exchange student, told me, “We had a big list of things to do and maybe 80 percent of them were in the national park. It’s sad.”
Then, noting the rarity of the event, he added, “You may never see something like this in your life again.”
