Midrsv Posted July 6, 2011 #1 Posted July 6, 2011 We're on our way home from the west coast. Tonight we're in Grants NM. We left home on the 21st for a ride to Oregon and N. California coast. So far we've travelled about 4800 miles. We plan to be home on Friday. For our route covered you can see it at: http://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=2fd74df6c9a6b12d4 If you are bored and need something to look at, I've posted photos each day to my web site. They can be found at: www.traynorphoto.com/wcday1 www.traynorphoto.com/wcday2 www.traynorphoto.com/wcday3 www.traynorphoto.com/wcday4 www.traynorphoto.com/wcday5 www.traynorphoto.com/wcday6 www.traynorphoto.com/wcday7 www.traynorphoto.com/wcday8 www.traynorphoto.com/wcday9 www.traynorphoto.com/wcday10 www.traynorphoto.com/wcday11 www.traynorphoto.com/wcday12 www.traynorphoto.com/wcday13 The photos are from several cameras. We just combine everyone's photos so I can't take credit for all of them. Dennis
Midrsv Posted July 9, 2011 Author #4 Posted July 9, 2011 We made it home! WhooooHoooooo! We left Fenton, MO around 7:00 this morning and arrived home around 3:45 this afternoon. We chased the rain all the way today but never really caught up with it. We hit a few wet roads but the rain was always ahead of us. Now for a few stats. 16 Days of travel 15 hotel stays 6277 miles ridden 17 states visited (not counting KY) 46 gas stops 185 gallons of gas consumed (my bike) 33.8 mpg (pulling the trailer) Cheapest gas - $3.33/gallon (regular) Most expensive gas - $4.79/gallon (regular) Temperatures varied from the low 40's to an observed 107 degrees (F) What a trip. Overall it was a pretty smooth trip even if we were a bit rushed. Other than the minor delay with the trailer tire, the bikes performed flawlessly and we had no close calls to speak of. We saw some incredible sites, and some not so incredible ones along the way. Dennis
