Thanks Shadow. Day 19 compete after a 650 mile ride. Currently in Gallop NM. Still windy and the last 75 miles was in
smoke. Looks like there are three fires
in NM and AZ. One of the locals told me
that yesterday the visibility was down to 100 ft. I first saw the smoke from Albuquerque. Over 300 sq. miles burned so far. Not sure I will make it home tomorrow but
going to give it a try.

Day 20 complete. 675 mile ride today with a start on the road at 0400 PST hours and very cold. Had to wear all of the leathers this morning through Flagstaff. The smoke has moved to the south so that did help. Stopped by Williams AZ just to see what it looks like without the snow and ice. Spoke to one of the locals and she still does not know how we made it through all of the bad weather. She is counting the days until we come through next year. By the time I got to Needles CA it was about 100 degrees. Very strong winds again today with gusts 50+ in Barstow. At 1700 hours I rode into the Indian Wells Valley. Home of China Lake and my home. 13 hours on this the final leg of my journey. Not sure why but it seemed that I had never left. I guess for me it will take some time to take it all in. So again, I say thank you all for your support and prayers. This part of my life journey has now ended but at the end of one journey a new journey will begin…. |

Been two weeks home and today I washed the bike and started it up. I feel a ride coming on. So on my next birthday we leave for RFTW 2012 (a leap year). So only 300+ days left. May 16th is almost here.

The EOW was May 28 2011. You and I are still here Harley0711 so we should make the best of it. The next EOW is Dec. 22 2012. We have enough time to do one more RFTW if anyone wants to join me.

The next RFTW is 11 months away and already I'm starting to get teary-eyed and reaching for the Kleenex! (and the throttle...)

Just got word that there may be a run on Route 66 starting Sept. 11. Chicago to Santa Monica. Maybe I could be an FNG on this new run. I rode about 50% of 66 coming back from DC a few weeks ago. Need more info if anyone has it.
