Re: [ST] California Travelin

Hwy 3 is paved, not sure about Ramshorn Rd. I'll have to look that up 
and put it on the list to explore with the KLR.

That's one thing I learned real quickly up here. Take the KLR when 
exploring a new road. Taking the Sprint down a steep, narrow, rocky 
road is not what it was design for.

But if you take 3 off of 36, you're also going to miss the best section 
of 36 which is that between Platina and Red Bluff. There's absolutely 
no reason to go to Red Bluff other than to run this section of road. Do 
it right and you'll discover what it's like to really fly on a Sprint 
ST. Just make sure the landing gear can handle the return to earth.
