BA = Bay Area

SLO-town = San Luis Obispo

Oscillator and others are meeting in San Jose and riding down.

here's the map of the route

As I am in VA and don't know the area that well, I traced the map in Google and tried the valleys I found- no luck.

So Oscillator, care to give some out of towners another hint?

the hwy in question goes down a rift valley past a national monument consisting of half a volcano. The other half is ~250 miles south.

ok I give up Crying or Very sad emoticon


As I still can't find it.

The hwy has to be Airline Hwy as it's the only one that passes a national monument (Pinnacles).

But I can find no valleys listed near it, and I have googled all the valleys along the route.



(and by the way do you know how many valleys are in California - so many that I think you need to rename it to Valleyfornia) Razz emoticon

no it's a city - type in just the city name and you'll get two choices.

again you don't need to up on "contemporary culture" , at least not for this one.

when you type in just the name of the city GIS will give you two
related searches: (in blue) pick the one that the city is in.

Closer to home, I use to call it home.

I lived up there when they first opened the Hirshhorn, we'd go there a lot (great place for a first dated) and then head over here for some shopping (well more like window shopping) but there were some nice restaurants that weren't that expensive.


Oh man and Commander Salamander now that was a fun store.

Looks familiar--I did my last year of high school near DC
(And just loved the Hirshhorn, back then it had just opened)

But I'm running behind and won't be able to get to it for a day or two,
so if anyone else spots it--it's yours

About the Commander Salamander:
does it matter whether we are talking about the old location (on F Street) or the new one (on Wisconsin)?

It so looked like Georgetown!!

Arrrgggh!
I must never have tried Georgetown my itself!!)

(2nd edit: Try it without the DC and it moves up!
And I have no idea what that is she's stomping on)

This area of Washington's name is derived from the names of two, formerly segregated area elementary schools-the older, all-black Thomas P. Morgan Elementary School (now defunct) and the all-white John Quincy Adams Elementary School.

You bet your ass I had fun! I think it's impossible not to enjoy yourself in the city of love...and scooters. I was even convinced to go all cliche-tourist and take a smoochy pic in front of the Eiffel Tower with the little wifey. It took lots of arm twisting but I finally caved and did it.

I hope to rejoin the tag as soon as I take care of the mountain of crap that's been piling up since we left.

Was at the Louvre pyramid as well as the Moulin Rouge (which is a LOT smaller than I had previously thought.)
