Today I got up exceptionally early, about 9:30AM , and managed to beat the horrible southbound I405 traffic towards San Diego. The ride along Rt76 from Oceanside wasn't too bad, but it was rather hot and got into the high 90s going through the desert. The twisties up and down Mount Palomar made the whole trip worthwhile. The Chili was pretty good as well.

I haven't seen that desert yet! |

I haven't seen that desert yet! The REAL desert begins some miles east of Palomar, past the lake, and over the hill into Borrego Springs! The only thing green over there is your gas money. The trip past Palomar over the hill into Borrego is a worthwhile ride, anytime from late October on....hit me up if you'd like a "guide" and we can meet up near Hwy 76 and head over....it's one of my favored rides. |

I wasn't offended either..... I just think it's funny what people think of the Inland Empire. Kind of "The grass is always browner on the other side of the hill" mentality.
