Outside of BIGLRY and Cambria the rest could fall into the ocean and I'd go home and have a full meal and a good night's sleep.

Hasten Kalifornia's exit with several well placed nuclear cratering charges; along their shared Arizona/Nevada borders...

Without San Francisco the homos would have to make Bendover, Maine as their capital.

Or is that Andover, never good in geography.

Lil' Kim said he was going to take care of the PRK for us. He wanted to start with LA, but should also throw in Excramento to cover his bases.

As for PCH, hope no one was buried under the 40 foot of dirt and rock.

I'm 60 miles south of the first Hwy 1 slide called the Mud Creek slide and live one block off Hwy 1. I have in the past...during my working days as a heavy equipment operator(31 yrs) spent a few months working Hwy 1 slides and know that them hills will keep coming down for a long time.
I rode up to Ragged Point a few days ago, but could not get close to the first slide to see it.
I'm going to take the road over the hills through the Army base on the Nacimiento-Fergusson road that brings you out north of Gorda and an open 12 mile stretch of road between the two slides, the one to the north is called the Paul's slide. I have friends who live up in the hills and will be bringing in some supplies for them.
Hwy 1 to Big Sur and on to Monterey is probably one of my fav rides since I began riding over 60 years ago. I'll bet it is over 2 years before anyone will be able to ride the whole rout up the 1 again.

since 2003 I have sponsered a ride every yr in Aug called "Run Up The One" where we ride to Gorda then back to Ragged Point for lunch, it looks like Ragged Point is as far as we will be able to go this year. Here is a pic of me and a few others at the turn around point in Gorda.

And that was our reporter BIGLRY on the scene LIVE. It's a shame Governor Moonbeam wasn't in a convertible on a nice drive up the coast.

Like I said as long as you and Cambria are still intact all is good. BTW, Helibars, another one of those things, like RDL, where you say to yourself how the hell did I ever ride without it.

California is my home, born and raised here, so why would you think it's OK to say crap like that? And no, I don't care what you think about California politics--this is my home. I don't say crap about *your* home, sir.

This quote, right?

A pity you took offense.
This had NOTHING to do with California politics or the people.
That you took my statement that way seems a bit odd to me, especially with the other comments openly addressing California politics, even by someone who lives there - whom I respect highly.
I lived there for 11 years and have many friends who still do.
And? If I should ever care to make meaningful comments about California politics, I would address them specifically with my friends in the DNC in Sacramento.

I was merely referring to the tectonic plates shifting.
The "karma" comment was only in regards to the timing of the shifts - as no one seems to be able to predict their activities.
The science that is geology is fascinating to me and the California quakes & landslides provide dramatic evidence of the Earth's constant evolvement.

Hey wait A minute! I haven't sold my place in Huntington Beach yet. Wonder who owns that new piece of the California coast line? Quick Big Larry get over there and stake it before someone builds a house on it. :biggthumpup:

Looks like it is going to be a while.
