Wow! You made it to San Diego from Yuma in a minute and 17 seconds.  Very nice video. How was the ride, was it mostly flat? I know in San Diego it is very hilly. |

That looks like the Imperial Sand Dunes on Hwy 8. That's a dry dry place.
Lots of Hollywood sand operas made in that area.
Thanx for sharing.

Thanks very much for the uploading the video. It brought back a lot of memories as a young Marine, crossing the desert en route to California and a new assignment back in 1983. The cup in the video reminded me that I haven't been to a "Jack in the Box" in 25 years. I hope the two of you had a great time during your ride!

hmmmm, i think youve been in these places huh?lol Yep. Know the area well. Used to spend the winter months up in Palm Desert and head out on local roads in the area. On one trip I took Hwy 8 then branched off on local road S34 to Hwy 78 and back through the Osborne Scenic Overlook in the Imperial Sand Dunes. Talk about the Sahara Desert. Now that's sand dunes. I liked it because it was so different from Vancouver Island. Many old Hollywood desert films such as Beau Geste, The Lost Patrol. Westerns and Sand and Sword epics were filmed at Osborne Scenic Overlook. One thing that did impress me was on S34, which is real desert, is the cache of fresh water found every so often. It appears that either local government or concerned citizens were putting out fresh water caches in plastic gallon jugs with a pole and coloured flag on them. This was for the illegals coming across the border from Mexico to have fresh water on their journeys. I spoke with local people and this was a really touchy subject with some of them. That is one hell of a place to be caught out with no fresh water. ________ Dick |

Route 79 from Temecula to Jillian is magnificent. I've only done it in a car. In San Diego I only had the BV 250 and I was afraid that ride would kill the bike.
