2016 May 26th to 30th.

Boy have we had a busy 5 days.  First we went from Bakersfield to Herst Castle which we toured.

Then we went further up the coast to Ragged Point were we stayed in an inn on a cliff right above the beach.

With a great view and sunset.

The next day we returned to Bakersfield alone the coast where the elephant seals we resting.

Then a tasty clam chowder at Avila bay

Then along some twisty back roads to Bakersfield.

Saturday we left Bakersfield through an oil field.

Traveled 70 miles on some of the most twisty roads I've been on.

Arrived back in Ridgecrest and spent the night at our friends place.

Sunday we went for a hike into the hills above their place over looking Ridgecrest

After the hike we went to the Trona Pinnicals.

Monday morning we said goodbye to Jim and Karen thanking them for a great time and ride. We then traveled south from Ridgecrest to Hwy 58 then to Barstow and the I15 through Henderson Nv and finally Mesquite for the night.
