Great trip! Thanks for the pics and report.

Too bad you didn't make it over Tioga Pass through Yosemite National Park. You could have picked up a UHaul in Bishop.

Post some more pics, those were great.

Thanks Grover
The original plan was to go through Tioga Pass and then south on 395, just it was so blasted hot. The wife was close to heat stoke up in Wyoming and it was hotter in your area. We had small coolers in our duffle on the luggage rack that held six 20 oz
bottles of iced down water and we would use up them before each fuel stop. But now we have an excuse to return to tour that area and some other spots. We really wanted to see the Hoover dam too.
Heres a shot up on Lake Michigan on hwy 2 in Michigan, the second one is leaving Yellowstone I think and last is the Cadilac ranch in Texas off I 40.

PS. Pilot, bike isn't huge, just looks that way cause I'm so small.
