Chapter 1

Left Marion about 11am on Wed the 23rd with the snow and wind at a rampage. Was able to stay just ahead of the storm, but never got away from the high winds. Got 50 miles south of Salt Lake City around 1:30 am Thurs. morning. Left about 7 am and got to Barstow fighting head winds all the way. Guess we should not complain as we heard the weather up west was really bad with snow, wind and - temps. Left 6am Friday morning and arrived at our first camp site at Live Oaks Springs, CA. Got set up about noon only to discover that our Montana weather was following us. I made the decision to ride from Live Oaks Springs to San Diego (70miles) because of the weather forecast for Sat. Because of darkness was not able to get the last 12 miles in. Grounded at camp because of snow on Sat 2/26. Hopefully will be able to finish the last 12 miles of this leg Sunday morning. Thanks for following will try to keep you updated each day as we go along. So far temps look better the next couple days.
