It will be with my wife in a rental car, but that's OK. She can drive and I will take pictures and dream about riding the same route on a bike someday. Fred

It reminds me of a combination of the Triple Nickel Highway in southern Ohio and U.S. 50 in West Virginia. Parts of it are like a roller coaster (like SR 555 in OH) with somewhat tighter than big sweeping turns, but sweeping turns never-the-less. Other parts of it have sections with several dozen tights turns in a row like U.S. 50 when it goes up and over a ridge. Actually SR 36 is so delightful because it is scenic from one end to the other and because it entails continuous carving. The many series of larger turns give the rider a break, while the numerous sections with tighter turns provide some excitement. Too bad that road is not closer to my home. I would be riding it every chance I get. My brother-in-law is very lucky to live so close by. It is not the ultimate ride in terms of being like the Tail of the Dragon (318 turns in 11 miles), but it is the ultimate ride should you want 140 miles of scenic adventure and fun. Riding SR 36 to the coast and back makes a great day of riding! Fred

Fred, Always glad to hear about your adventures from coast to coast whether it be on your T, a Harley in Nevada or a Victory in California. You are truly living a wonderful dream. Looking forward to seeing some of your photos. Cheers, John
