    Out of the high plains we stopped near lake Wilson and high heat with humidity. I woke at 0300 to check the weather and saw our route through Kansas City Missouri underwater. They had a foot of rain! I went back to sleep. We left late at 0600 and found light rain with the storm parting to...

    We left Montrose after breakfast and were on the road at 0615 hours. I didn't want to see the traffic leaving the hills on a Sunday afternoon. Seems every road out of the mountains along the front range gets clogged with cages on summer Sundays. We didn't escape Colorado without a chat with a...

    Oh no Mr Bill. Kansas was loaded with grasshoppers and this one picked a poor place to stay when we stopped to pee.

    Quick ride through Badlands NP this morning with a few sprinkles. Met a FZ1 rider from Alberta, wherever that is, just coming home from Newfi, New England and across the states....10,000 mile trip on that unfaired bike. I guess our 6,000 mile trip is not up to par. Today was a low mile long...

    have toll transponders and hope we get through Chicago before that parking lot you mentioned. Don't those people in Chicago go away for the summer? We'll be in a new time zone so 03:30 ksu will feel like a 04:30 ksu for us New Englanders I wonder when I should tell S76 what time we leave
