Our Ride to Home

There's fewer things in life that will have the forever memories of riding motorcycle with Kellie and Mark. Kellie is strong, capable and can handle just about every situation.
Mark is truly a go to guy. Therfore I allowed him the free reign of choosing where and how to get where we wanted to go. Successfully Mark exceeded my expectations without my input....(thank god I didn't have to be in charge of where and when to get to wherever we were supposed to be). It's hard to belive that as of today we've traveled 4,380 miles whithout getting lost, except those moments that we thought we new were we were going........
It may be difficult for some to understand the joy of motorcycling but for us the ability to negotiate weather, temperature, etc, only adds to the reason the moves us to this sport. I am so proud of Kellie. She's a true sport. No whinging, moaning or groaning. Get it done. And I must add Kellie's skill's in handling multilple challenges, such as extreme tempeature, losing contact w/ me, or visa versa. (I would stop to take pictures, but with communications, that had little idea of where I was....) I would eventually make contact via our radio communications and all was fine. (next year we'll have to get Mark his own Radio)
Some may think that this group could possibly have a test of patience but not to be true. The cohesive and positive attitude always prevailed.
At one of our stops Kellie wanted to adopt a really cute puppy but the owner showed up and that put a stop to that. I really don't think I had any room in my back tour pack for the dog. (was a cute pup)
We're closing in the final miles of this trip. We've taken many pictures that we'd like to share hoping we can put together an evening of this adventure. To date we're safe and sound. The venture is not yet done but I do not expect anything but normal activities.
