Lester V Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm rolling out Friday morning. How about posting your approximate location at the end of your day's travels? Pat Should be in W. Yellowstone early on the 19th. Bring beer. Ride safe Pat. Link to comment

Paul Mihalka Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Glen arrives on Saturday. We leave Monday for Wisconsin. Follow the Great River Road to Hannibal. Then rte 94 to 50 and into Sedalia, MO for the MOA. We will leave there on Sunday taking 50 to Salida on Monday. Ready to be on the road! I wrote up my favorite route through Kansas a few weeks ago. I would avoid Dodge City by all means, specially in July. You can smell a million cows. If I would ride from Paonia CO to Sedalia I would do this: rt. 133 and 92 to rt. 50 Gunnison. Stay on rt. 50 to Garden City KS. Pick up rt. 156 and 56 to Great Bend/McPherson, continue to I35. Find your way around the south of Kansas City, Harrisonville MO, and you are in Sedalia. I find this not much longer and not much slower then all I70 and all the trucks etc. It is still Kansas... Just do it in reverse. Link to comment

RevRay Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Sad news, yesterday at a rest stop in Peebles,Ohio in route to the MOA I open a txt message from home. To find out My mother in law who is suffering from ALS was rushed to the hospital, not responding to medication. The doctors tell us she will pass shortly. I made the 600 mile trip home in just over nine hours and will remain at her side with my family. I will truly miss you all, carve a few corners for me and remember "waste no curve" Link to comment

MikeRC Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Yes, sad news Ray. Best wishes. I'm in Billings, MT tonight after a 600 mile day from Calgary. The cool weather for the first 200 mi was welcome but the heat got turned on by Great Falls. Just in time to go through a nice cooling thundershower before the Kings Hill Scenic byway. But then I lost almost an hour with road construction delays along US 12 from White Sulphur Springs to Lavina. On to the Little Bighorn Monument and Devils Tower tomorrow.

MikeRC Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 In Rapid City, SD tonight. It was a hot one today, but thanks to a cooling vest and Camelback-like device I survived. Noticed tonight my front Ohlins shock was leaking, hope it was just the heat. Getting new tires put on tomorrow and I'll have them have a peek at the shock too. Mike Cassidy Link to comment

TEWKS Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Second day in Glacier. The Going To The Sun Road was closed until 2:30 this afternoon because of a landslide. I almost ran out of gas because I was in such a hurry to get up there after it opened. I think this may be the most beautiful place on earth! Heading south in the AM. Pat Link to comment
OoPEZoO Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'm sitting at home. I'm going to work in the morning to make "an appearance", then I'm on the road heading West. Can't wait. Link to comment
Krakken Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 In Prescott, AZ. If you ever stay here "The Motor Lodge" is, hands down, the coolest place to stay. You can get a private garage attached to your room, and there's awesome Mexican food across the street. Link to comment

RevRay Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Don't look down! Stopped in Ashland WI, Hot Hot! Pat Your photo sparked a memory of my trip this year. I purchased a camera (Swann HD sports) that mounts to your helmet and has a remote for video or snap shots the plan was to have a photo journal of this trip. 7 miles into the trip I got stop by the bridge and tunnel police and was forced at gun point (only kidding) no guns but I had to remove camera from helmet. Got chastised by two agitated officers about photographing tunnels and bridges a homeland security thing that never crossed my mind. I apologized to my fellow civil servants for my blatant disregard of the law as to photographing tunnels, reminded them that this was only a minor distraction of my day and they had to go back to work.

Thankfully next door was a place called Mama Knows What's Cookin'. Well, Mama was a very nice woman & she recommended this overnight. Yellowstone tomorrow. Pat Link to comment
MikeRC Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 In Denver tonight. After spending yesterday afternoon arranging to have my shock serviced I went out for a late afternoon/early evening ride to Badlands National Park. Today left early to beat the crowds to Mt Rushmore and tried to go to Wind Cave NP but was turned away due to a very active forest fire in the area. Then on to Fort Laramie NHS. The rest of the trip to here was brutal; never dropped below 97 degrees, 20-30 mph headwind and an accident/construction near Fort Collins that added an hour. Wish I could post pictures but my web server seems to be down. Mike Cassidy Link to comment
Krakken Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 In Mancos, CO for the next two nights. Had a great ride through Jerome, AZ this morning (love that road!) and cruised through Monument Valley, UT. Link to comment
