Leaving the Military base we went to 101 and then Hwy 46 back to Cambria and San Simeon State Park.
We had got a reservation there in the morning (and that was a good idea, since when we got back at 5:00PM, the park was already full).

This night Mike prepare the dinner and the food was the best.

Who is Elton

I was born in Brazil and moved to USA, California in 1996. Took me some time to learn the language and get into this country, but I think now I'm doing quite well. I became an American citizen in late 2007.
I love to travel and by the time I was writing this page, I had logged more them 140.000 miles on the motorcycles I have/had. My current bikes are one 2002 BMW K1200LTe and one 2003 BMW R1150GS. Also there are many more miles on my car and much more on airplane trips.
Winter I try to do Snowmobile. Summer is time for water sports (PWC) and I motorcycle year around (one of the benefits of living in sunny California)
