Progress so far:
End of week three already - what a time we are having! Every day we cannot wait to get out on the road to see what sights we will see. We have had some incredible, once in a lifetime rides (although we both have our favorites we would love to ride again some day). As the map above shows we are gradually creeping West and are now just a few days from the Pacific coast - what a milestone that will be.
We feel we have been very fortunate with the weather, just having a few rough days but thankfully not on days when we had to travel 100's of miles. Right now we are in a spell of incredible weather and we are enjoying every moment. The bikes have been amazing - not a moments hesitation and are just brilliant touring machines. We have settled into an easy routine of setting off early, stopping for coffee (or breakfast) midmorning, picnic lunch at a scenic pull off, check in to our accommodation about 4:00pm, head out for an early dinner about 7:00pm and then early to bed about 9:30PM! Works well for us.
Statistics so far:
Total mileage: 4476
Total moving time: 88hrs.
States visited: ME, NH, VT, NY, Ontario Canada, MI, WI, IA, NE, SD, WY, MT, ID, WA.
Hi Tom and Vicky. Truly breath-taking pics. Great narrative too Vicky. It definitely helps, and makes the photos much interesting, when you describe what we're looking at. I had never heard of Craters of the Moon National park, so it was nice to read something of its geologic history. Tom, the girls were so excited to get your post card from Devils Tower. Thank you!

Jim - thanks for your comments - I really appreciate them. I like to document our travels and experiences as a reminder for us when we look back, but it's nice to know someone else is out there and enjoying the tales of our travels.
