I made it home @ 1400 hrs today. Nice two day ride from Cortez with no problems. Up and over Wolf Creek Pass the "Ride Across The Rockies" was going my way. I had bikes next to me for 35 miles!!! I stopped and was told by an Official that 2800 bikes were in the "tour"

SW KawaNow folks - thank you for the good times.

Bill,

Glad to hear you made it home safe and sound. From the sounds of it, eastern Nebraska is pretty wet.

Made it to South Dakota safely. Excellent gas mileage, mostly downwind. Lost my wallet getting here and that of course is somewhat of a problem. I will post some advice on that as soon as I get some time. Not looking forward to going back into the heat in Arizona later in the month. So far I am having a good ride.

Made the last leg of my 10 day journey today from Wenatchee to my house in the rain, but arrived safe and sound about 10:30 am!
Thanks to everyone for making it a great experience and to Joel and Jared for putting it all together. Can't wait to do it all again soon....and hope to see some of you in Kalispell in August!

Started home from Gunnison on Sat. Hwys. 50, 550, 62, 145, 141, 90, 89 and a few more I don't remember. The wind was blowing sand drifts across the road as we closed in on Page. Ended the day at Page, AZ (450 miles).

Sunday fought the wind 300 miles on the way home.

Took a short detour to New Mexico on Thursday. Three beautiful mountain passes on the way. 2010 miles for the whole trip.

Also, on Sat. morning about 8:45 AM I noticed two Nomads parked on the North side of Hwy 50. I could swear Pronghorn was one of them. Was it????????

A great time was had by all.

Hey Dan, maybe I can get you and/or CJ to hook up in Laughlin in the cooler Fall months? your not too far....

**wanderer** · 06-22-2010, 08:52 AM

I got home at 2:30 pm on Friday. 2400 miles total. Other than cross winds all the way down I-40 I had no problems. Leaving in the morning for the South Central Rally.

waterman · 06-22-2010, 09:11 AM

Have a great trip Gene.

cactusjack · 06-22-2010, 09:51 AM

It sounds like all the chickens made it back home to roost. Other than Kris' La Grand "incident", no damages or injuries.

I'd say that was a successful rally, folks.

It was a pleasure to see old friends again and meet some new friends.

usranger74 · 06-22-2010, 01:52 PM

10-4 on that Scott. And, thanks to you and Joel it was an outstanding rally.
