            Probably Honey Springs Road
            (or maybe Lyons Valley Road, or maybe Japatul Rd, or Japutul Valley Rd)


            CA79 Campo Road, between Dulzura and Barrett Junction.

              Sunrize Highway at over 5000 ft elevation.
              I passed two snowplows pushing back the snow on side of the road. First time I ever done that on mocykle.
              Was about 60 degrees up there (mid 80s in San Diego).



              Not able to get pictures of the best places, sharp curves going around side of mountain, rocks on one side and nothing on other side other than view of the valley and next mountain.
              (I know, are bigger mountains other places.)

              Also did not get any pictures of 5 and 6 lane highways with 3 levels of overpasses to get back into town (but, who wants to see that anyway)

                      Although the constant rain is a bit dreary this winter, it could be worse... much worse.

                            Yes, was very nice.
                            My major activity on riding days (did do some other things on other days) was riding on roads that looked interesting on the map, and roads recommended here and elsewhere... riding and looking for places for good picture of road and scenery and bike.

                            Been home for day and a half.

                            Did get to go for ride today.

                              Great pictures Redman!! Isn't southern California wonderful in the "winter"?! I have yet to ride into San Diego or Palomar mountain, but it looks like I need to change that...

                              I did do a nice 200 mile loop today just to get a burrito for lunch. No pictures, was having too much fun to stop.

                                I suggest you ride TOWARD San Diego, but divert off at 79 in Temecula, (and maybe Pala Temecula Rd to 76 for more direct route) to Palomar.

                                If you get as far south as Esconditio, then Need to get a few miles from I-15 before urban/suburban multilane gives way to 2 lane roads.
                                If you get closer to Sand Diego, then need to get 15-20 from I-15.

                                Riding IN San Diego will be as much fun as riding in LA.

                                Look for map on web site for BMW Owners Club of San Diego.
