Decided to ride about 600 miles away one day, spend the second day enjoying the area I was visiting, and ride 600 miles back the third day. It only rained twice. On the way there, and on the way back.

Left August 1 for a 6 day trip on my forty eight, with my little brother on a klr,and our cousin on his police harley, who by the way is disabled and has been in a wheelchair since 1999, and just recently built himself a trike. Stopped in west Yellowstone for a night, went thru the park, down thru tetons,spent three days in Jackson, Wyoming. Headed home. 1621 miles. Longest day was 375 miles. Perfect mileage per day I think, never felt rushed. First vacation I've ever had where I never thought about work, bills etc. So tired every night, but loved every minute of it.

Paraphrase? Went west until those things sticking up in the sky. Rode around in them for a few days. Rode further west through the sandbox until I could get a good taco. Spent a few days splitting lanes. Headed east through more sand, flatness and hills until I hit a big river. Rode north until they stopped drawling.

Friday, we traveled from northern Ohio to the Canadian side of Niagra Falls; no freeways. Saturday, back to the US and traveled along Lake Ontario to Seneca Falls for the night. The next day we did the Finger Lakes to Watkins Glen and wrapped up in Olean, NY. The weather was absolutely perfect. We only used a tank full of gas each day, 40/ 50/55 miles an hour. Stopped at local diners and had a riot. May, 2012, we did the big trip - Albuquerque, St. George, Grand Canyon, 6000 miles worth on our Ultra. Talk about worn out !!! Windstorms, 100 degrees each day, in hindsight, too hot for me. Being retired for a year now, we are up for nearly any trip.

After our trip to New Mexico, we stayed at home in Knoxville for three days doing yard work, loaded the bike and traveled to Milwaukee to see the museum and visit relatives. May was action packed!!
