Howdy listers, I'm going to the MotoGP races this weekend at Laguna Seca. On Monday after the races, I'll take Hwy 1 south to start my ride home. I've always passed by a road south of Big Sur which heads up into the mountains. Last year, I saw a couple of BMW GS guys regrouping there. I'm wondering if it's a good dual sport ride. It may be named something with Nacimiento in the name which leads me to hope it goes to Lake Nacimiento. Anyone familiar with this road? If so, 1) Is it fun? 2) Is it easy to follow? 3) I assume it goes across Fort Hunter Liggett - is it open for civilians to drive across? Thanks, Jeff Jones

Yes ride it. Hunter Ligget is open for civilians but you will need all your papers including liscense, registration and proof of insurance. While on the base be sure to check out the mission San Antonio De Padua. Also watch your speed and do not be tempted. A word to the wise is sufficient. --Jim A-15

I have really appreciated and enjoyed the responses from the group. I;ve noticed in the group that the 2k6s have already hit Salt Lake City, maybe MS won't be too far behind. This TW200 is shrinking as I type. This is a very interesting and informative group and by far the most prolific I've joined. Thanks, I'll be lurking around for a while.
