Note from Karst: This can be done on a big bike, but that will require intermediate skills. You will have to
deal with some steep rocky roads and sharp steep hairpins. No room for those with fear of heights. Much
easier on a smaller bike. Beautiful country!!

Topo map

Note from Leif: So if we go by the BLM signage, California and Hurricane are distinct. Now that I've had this revelation, I checked my GPS and indeed
I had it along for California, and marked a waypoint of 37.91750 -107.61760 (37 55 03.0 N 107 37 03.4 W) at the sign. That is (correctly) distinct from
Hurricane at 37.92005556 -107.6270556 (37 55 12.2 N 107 37 37.4 W).
So... wow, a lot of corrections to make, plus I simply don't have California in my list, which I'm a bit embarrassed about. I believe (watch me squirm)
that I didn't add it, thinking that Hurricane was its more official name. Now that we have proof I think we're well on our way toward straightening this
out. Please have a look at one more photo, and let me know if my label is correct. I think I have a photo of Hurricane, from California. I circled and
highlighted what I think is a likely candidate.
