Who is Home and When? - Page 2

**Idaho** · 06-20-2009, 08:53 AM

I made it home last night at 10pm, just under 700 miles and 15 hours in the saddle. Decided to cut through the SE corner of Yellowstone on the way home. That mountain range on the east side of Yellowstone from Cody, Wyoming is HUGE. Route 16 through Wyoming is cut through some amazing country. Bike ran flawlessly. You all are great people. Thanks for a wonderful time. Hard to believe it is over.

OP,
Hope the wife is feeling better.
I was in room 6 at the Mile Hi.

We will get together sometime soon.

Hi Everybody Carol and I made it home at 5PM after waving Goodbye to Ells. We really enjoyed the Rally and all the great folks. We hadn't met anyone when we left home on Monday and now we have a bunch of new freinds. Of course being the oldest you will have to keep in touch so I don't forget you.

BD and I made it to Hurricane, UT (near Zion NP). We fought stiff head and crosswinds and rain all the way down I-15 for nearly 300 miles. The wind was so strong it was slowing me down on a 5% downgrade at 75 MPH.

We both have about 450 miles to get to our respective homes tomorrow.

NOTE: Utah has 2 stretches of I-15 where they are testing an 80 MPH speed limit. Didn't do me any good, I couldn't go that fast pulling my trailer in that wind.

To All:

Made it home Tonight, Saturday 6-20-09 at 8:00 Eastern Time. We left the Rocket Motel at 6:00AM and rode about 835 miles by the GPS. (it's always longer the way I go) stopped for the night and finished up tonight at 8:00pm eastern time. Total miles by GPS is 1500 miles. Wrong turns and detours don't count. Total for the week was a little over 4,100 miles.

The wife and i had a great time,total round trip miles was 1844 miles :)

**Cajunrider** · 06-20-2009, 08:25 PM

Trip, SWB, and Cajunrider are in Clinton, OK. We rolled about 450 miles today most of it in heavy rain. Not a good riding day to say the least. We parted with Wanderer about an hour before we arrived here. Gene should be arriving home soon.

Netnorske · 06-20-2009, 08:57 PM

Tricia and I are currently in Butte, MT for the night after running the Beartooth Highway today and thru northern Yellowstone. The weather from Billings thru Red Lodge and over the Beartooth Pass was absolutely fabulous...

!

I got a great photo (will post it later) with me and her, the Nomad, the pass sign showing the elevation (10,947 I think) and what I assumed to be the Rockies about 100 miles in the distance...

! The Beartooth is one incredible road and everyone should include it on their bucket list as a must do ride...

. It is beyond breathtaking, not to mention very challenging and is one of the most awesome motorcycle roads you could ever possibly ride!

Once in Jellystone...the weather got spotty and from Gardiner to Butte we got pretty well pounded with rain. Two more days ride to get home on Monday. Still having a blast! Will post more later....

Terrebonne,

Figured you gents were getting it pretty good with rain by radar. Stay safe.

jastearns · 06-21-2009, 10:59 AM

Dale and I made it home about 4:30 p.m. on Saturday. The Nomad went about 2030 miles total over the week and it also went over 10,000 on the way home. Dale rode about 1300 miles total on her 900 and I'm proud of her as she has only been riding a month. It was beautiful on Friday and Saturday without a drop of rain.

blowndodge · 06-21-2009, 01:29 PM

BD is home. 3,288 miles later............

**wanderer** · 06-21-2009, 05:18 PM

I got home at 8:30 pm on Saturday (6/20). 2646 miles for the trip. I had a great time.

**jmorrow** · 06-21-2009, 05:28 PM

Annette and I made it home at 4:30 pm on Sunday 5/21/09. Total round trip miles was 2,945. Left Grand Island, NE Saturday morning weather was nice, but soon as we got into Kansas the rain started, we made it to lawrence, KS. about 3:30 and called it a day and finished the trip Sunday.
