Man, Motorcycle, Mountains Day 14


Man, Motorcycle, Mountains

Day 14 -- Riding Home

Got a 6am start for the last leg of my journey.  Realized soon that I would pass time zones and loose and hour.  Pulled on the throttle and stopped no more often than needed.  Anxious to get home and see my family whom I love and miss very much.

These are the faces I longed to see.  After 568 long miles (a new one day best for me) I got home at 6pm.  The most scenic road I was on all day was 171 north of Carl Junction.   I was quite hot, dirty, sweaty, and very tired.  Family was not too sure they wanted to hug me, except the dog loved the way I smelled!
I passed out souveniers, drank a bunch of fluid, and headed to the shower.  So goot to be home.

Tally for the trip:
10 states
14 days
4609 miles

Saw amazing things and collected lots of memories and lost a pound despite eating good. I miss the cool weather of the mountains. I have no plans for long trips any time soon, just want to stay home a while.
You should see the mountain of mail waiting for me. Yuck!  And the bills for the trip will come, so will see me working at Wal-Mart to pay them.
