In Canton, Ohio at the pro football Hall of Fame. Probably stuck here for the day because of the rain all across PA. Welcome back to the east. Basically the only rain we have experienced for last four weeks. Go figure.

If you like corn and soy beans, you will love riding thru Iowa and Illinois. It goes for miles. No wonder they put in their gas. So much of it. Actually it's in lots of gas if u get my drift.

When on interstates, u need to watch for those big trucks. They hurt if they run over u. Especially at 75 mph. OUCH!!!!

Another hot day. Long beautiful day ride in Upper Rocky Mountain NP. We r officially headed towards home. As we got out on what I call the corn belt highway ( because we will see corn 4 the next two to three days) we decided to get off the road because of the ugly clouds. As the pictures will show, the man up above was looking over us. Comments accepted.

In Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Long day. Rode on 50 to 70 miles of unpaved road. Very bad experience. One that Weill not be repeated. Pictures of bike do not do justice to the dust I ate.

Well yesterday was a day of riding through scenic Idaho then into Wyoming. Lots of open space, no cars (yahoo), wildlife, and hot sun. Temperatures still in or close to above 100. HOT!! Even though the one sign says welcome to Idaho it was across the street from the Wyoming sign. The other photo is of the wide open fields and the hundreds of baled hay. Interesting HUH???

Great Falls, Montana to Missoula, MT. to Salmon, Idaho. Great ride but hot as hell. Temperatures ranged from 101to 107 depending on where we were in the valley. So of u Ron these back roads and have no watering holes u improvise. Somewhere on rte. 93 in Idaho. If Lewis & Clark can do, so can we.

Often been asked what I do when my bike might need to b repaired. I carry golf stuff with me and so today I went golfing. Played with two teenagers. They rode on a cart. I walked. What's wrong with that picture? Oh well, I'm healthier?? Shot a score lower than today's temperature 86 vs. 92. Eddie took a tour of nearby canyons and valleys. Bike is fixed so we will b back on the road tomorrow.

New blip on our radar screen. This time my bike has a problem. We r still in Great Falls, Montana. I have a crack in my back exhaust pipe that hopefully will be corrects tomorrow. This will alter some of our travel destinations but not our adventuresome spirit. Tomorrow will b a down day for us. Eddie has his bike to do some tooling around. I carry my golf shoes just in case. But should that not do us there is a swimming pool, casinos, and of course bars and beer. You just need to stay creative. Stay tuned. Don't leave us yet.
