wow, impressive, Jerry of Elgin! I could see a flag way in the back, and I was guessing that was a flag of Mexico... but I had no clue where....

I was going to post, "uh...who is Pedro Infante?". But, I did a quick bit of research. I am now among the top 100 Pedro Infante Experts in Texas, :lol: ha, ha..(ok, "...would you believe, I can at least spell his first name?" - in my best Maxwell Smart accent).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_Infante

That link led to this bit of fantastic archival knowledge: a clip from actual movie of Mr. Infante on the motorcycle depicted in the statue:

Not to pick nits, but if it's in Oregon it's US-101. CA-1 ends at Leggett; it doesn't run all the way up to the Oregon border. However, I belive "PCH" will cover both the length of Highway 1 as well as 101 north of Leggett. Just clarifying for future reference; we now return you to your regularly scheduled thread. :mrgreen:

To get back up to speed:

My first long trip after getting back on the bike. The nearest town is just east of this bridge; pop 118.

Even more tips:
according to Google, by highway, 263 miles from Plano, TX

The lake was called Lake of the Narrows back in the 60's. I enjoyed skiing under this bridge and learned to slalom on this lake at the ripe old age of 7.

Close enough! It's actually SW of Ciudad Durango on Mex40, aka Espinaza del Diablo. The ride from Mazatlan to Durango City is like Tail of the Dragon, only it goes on and on for 150+ miles and there are nearly vertical drops of thousands of feet within a couple steps from the edge of the pristine blacktop. The scenery changes from lush tropical mountain range to the desert shown in the picture right when you cross over the top of the continental divide.
