Vegas/Cali Wrap-up

Sunset in OK...

Just to close the lid on this trip I’ll post this wrap up thread, but not too much really happened from New Mexico to PA. We ended up riding from Albuquerque, NM to Cincinnati, OH over 36 hours, stopping only for a 90 minute nap in a rest area in Arkansas (or maybe it was Tennessee). There wasn’t much to take pictures of, and once the terrain became familiar again we really just started burning for home rather than looking for photo ops.

We made it back to south-west PA on Saturday afternoon, and I made it to Bethlehem around midnight that night.

Thanks to everyone for watching the site. We’re planning more trips for the (near) future, so if you’re interested in coming with us, please let me know. I’d love to ride with you. It’s not nearly as expensive as it seems, and it’s probably more fun than anything else you’re thinking of doing. :)

Stay tuned for a gear analysis and news about future trips.  We’re thinking South Dakota (Mount Rushmore) before the end of the season…

New Photo Gallery: Across the mountains and through the desert

by Ken

I can’t express to you how awesome and beautiful the Rocky mountains and the desert badlands in Colorado/Utah are. There is nothing I can say that could make you feel how I felt as I passed through the snowcapped peaks and burning basins. These pictures are the best I can do and even they don’t do it justice.

Before you die, you must:

  • fly to Denver in the late spring/early summer
  • wait for good weather
  • rent a fast convertible
  • leave at 7am
  • drive west on 70 then south on 15 through Utah.

Bring snacks and lots of water.  There is a section of 110 miles without any services.
