Dan's getting to the Western Rally pics

dantama · 06-22-2008, 08:06 PM

I had a great ride getting to the Rally. I took the scenic route, taking two days to get there.

The first day I went 690 miles, the next day a short run from Tropic where I met up with Valdez, to Mesquite- 210 miles.

This slide show is just pictures of getting to the Rally. I'll do another one for the Rally itself, and another one for getting back home.

Check out these pictures in the link, it was an awesome ride!

Dan

Lived in Colorado Springs for 3 years with the Military and traveled your route many times but only in a car, seeing it again brings back old memories.

super pic. any concerns of running out of petrol? Looks like gas stations are few and far in between.

There are a couple of places that you need to be very careful (and perhaps take a can of gas) if you have the 1500 Nomad because of its 4.2 gal tank, but the 5 gal 1600 tank will get you everywhere you need to go safely.

Dan-thanks for posting those great photos! That looks like beautiful country to ride in, and I'm sure the pics don't do it complete justice!

Looks like a great trip Dan, I wish I could take pics like that.

I obviously lost out not making that trip with Dan. Great pics Dan. Have been through much of it before but would have been a real kick to do it again and get to the rally but other plans interfered namely an anniversary trip this coming week, seven years for me and my new bride. Headed north to cooler temperatures.
