Guys I have not been posting because I am int he middle of a major road trip right now. I will update with lots of pics and commentary when I get home, Anyway I left June 5th from South Texas.

1st night was in Fort Stockton, TX. Not much to report other than crossing the Pecos River.

2nd Night was spent in Ruidoso, NM, a nice ride.

3rd Night was spent in Cortez, CO after riding entirely across New Mexico and north on 191 thru Alpine, AZ across the Navajo Reservation. 655 miles this day

Night 11 thru 16 visiting my mother near Reno, Nevada with a day trip to Virginia City.

Night 17 in Fortuna California after riding the most challenging road ever, CA 36 from Red Bluff to Fortuna. This thing makes the Tail of the Dragon look like a ride around the Wal Mart Parking lot.
