1 Wanted to get a good shot of the stove in daylight.	2 Another brisk one on the coast.	3 Tire wear check. Not seeing the rapid wear like from the last one of these trips.	4 Fuel light had been on since we left Fort Bragg after pizza last night. Some people say these tanks only hold 5.4 gallons.	5 231 miles on a tank. Decent range.	6 Adam is there to document fuel prices on this date in this place.
7 We avoid the long line at Eggheads and hit Cafe 1. Hash is good. Not Eggheads good, but no complaints.	8 Table shot. [Table had to be cleaned after Hawk knocked his coffee over.]	9 Yeah, you are busted, man.	10 What a seagull would see right before stealing Adam's poached eggs.	11 Full fuel tanks on the KTM and parking at a slight angle leads to leakage.	12
13 A glimpse under the seat of the Adventure. How novel, thinks the photographer.	14 Moments later. We were departing breakfast and heading out of town to turn inland for some more back roads.	15 The KTM just quit. First the fuses get a look.	16 Not where you want to pose your bikes for a group shot.	17 The battery is slung down low on this bike.	18
19 Earn extra friend points.	20	21 Jumping it off the Africa Twin. It runs and charges OK. Things look bad for Adam's battery at this point.	22 What to do?	23 Many phone calls are made.	24 AAA is on the way. 170 miles from home when the plan allows for a 200 mile tow. Could be a lot worse.
25 The survivors resume our original plan and head up Philo Greenwood road.	26 We returned to Mendocino on Highway 128. It was a short day of riding, but hey, it's vacation.	27 Hydraulic lift activator hidden inside a log.	28	29 Lots of this kind of work down here. So many panels.	30 It took a lot of work to haul all this stuff in here, dig a hole for it, set it up and bury it again.
31 Ventilation in abundance.	32 Is the part or the picture upside down? I can't tell.	33 These crack me up.	34 A half dozen of these containers connect together.	35	36 There's even a landline.
37 Alongside the ravine at the back of the property someone ran a bulldozer quite a ways down on both sides. Foot trails continue past that, maybe all the way down to the river. This looks like it was deliberately blocked.	38 This area where we set up is directly above the bunker.	39 Is this stuff in the cabin left from the grower?	40 We are back at this place.	41 Just in case you forgot the menu.	42
43 I go for the burger this time. With cheese, avocado and bacon. Can Patterson's defeat Sparky's at its own game? [Ed note: No.]	44 A challenge of a Rueben.	45 Taco special.	46 Kat has arrived to drive Adam home.	47 Very good spirits on display for someone in the middle of an unplanned 8 hour round trip.	48 They thought the tacos and the rueben looked good. [Adam needed sunscreen to wait outside three hours for AAA.]
49 Mendocino goes about its business.	50 In case you want your own freestanding fire pit that's safe to use on a wooden deck.	51 Choose your fighter!
