Memorial Day 2017. Yea, delayed posting but it was a nice trip. I live in San Diego so I only made a couple days out of it. Day 1 was the afternoon up, no big deal there.
Loaded up in Barstow at the Hampton Hwy 127 Me More of the 127.
Hwy 178 had a ROAD CLOSED sign way back by the 127, but I wanted to investigate since ROAD CLOSED doesn't mean the same thing for motorcycles. While I was waiting there some young rabbelrouser in a white truck came up thru the closed section and gave me some good info about why it's closed. Yea, I went. I did get a little freaked out when I realized NOBODY would help me if something happened. No cell signal, no traffic... My sentiments Badwater
That pictures is taken @ the Texaco station in Johannesburg Heading South on 395 just on the other side of that hill is a town called ransburg documented historic district two GREAT bars the White House ,and the joint, Olga owned the joint from the thirties or forties until just a few years ago when she passed away at the age of about 95 or so She was still running the place everyday! Her grandson's run the place now and if you ever get a chance to stop in please do. There's a lot of amazing history at that little intersection of towns (,Red Mountain randsburg andJohannesburg ) "shithole town"? Definitely not, if you only clue ! ( I mean no Disrespect )

I called it a shithole because I was immediately approached by a methhead when I stopped for gas. Literally, not 30 seconds after taking my helmet off she started some bullshit story about needing cash to .... I just looked at her and said GTF outta here!
Not sure, haven't been back and Google Maps doesn't show the closure
Yup, I ride ATGATT (all the gear all the time). I did have all the vents open, and I do have a mesh jacket for hot summer days. I had that jacket because the mornings were cool.
