Miles Rode = 455 Spending the night in Flagstaff, AZ

Was a busy day.

Started off in NM.

Rode to the 4 Conner Monument, Got to touch 4 states at once.

Crossed the Continental Divide at 7900 feet.

From there we rode through Monument Valley in UT. Rt 160 is an awesome road I would advise anyone who has the chance to drive it. The views are spectacular. Might be the best road we have been on yet.

On the way to NV, Tom H. got a flat rear tire so we learned how to plug a tire in a gas station parking lot. We both have the same repair kit the Stop N Go. To be safe we going to let it sit overnight to make sure it is holding air.

Miles Rode = 535 Spending the night in Albuquerque, NM

Another beautiful day, temperatures hit mid 90’s going through Texas. We stopped at “The Cadillac Ranch” for a bit of roadside art.

Again the scenery was amazing. Now way to really describe the views.

Had dinner at another “Triple D” location called Sadies.

Miles Rode = 501 Spending the night in El Reno, OK.

The weather was great today. once the clouds burned off in the morning it was bright and sunny, temps got to the high 80’s.

Arkansas and Oklahoma have a lot of open space and farm land, the scenery was awesome.  Saw my first ever crop duster. I did not even know they still had them, was cool to watch.

We had dinner at a German place that was on Dinner, Drive ins, and Dives. It was really good, Not that I would know good German food from bad German food.

Then we went to the Oklahoma National Memorial. We saw the public park on the site of the buildings, the inside was closed by the time we got there.

Miles Rode = 445 Staying in West Memphis, AL.

Last night was interesting we tried to stay in Canton TN, but every hotel room was booked anywhere near there. We ended up riding over 50 miles in the rain and fog over a mountain pass in the dark to find a hotel. It was great… Finally found a room around 10 PM

We started about 80 miles south east of Knoxville TN, We had to skip the Tail of The Dragon. The weather was too bad for that ride. it rained until we got to Nashville.

The day ended up really well. We made it to Memphis and had a great dinner and listened to some good music at BB Kings blues bar. Ribs and Brisket were awesome.

Miles Rode = 553

Rained most of the day.  Just got to hotel will post pictures and write more tomorrow.

Miles Rode = 212

So were finally on the rode. After months of talking about this trip it is here. We left DE around 4 PM, rode to Rehoboth to touch the ocean. Then rode south until it got to cold to ride around 8:30 and had dinner in a local diner.

We have the first injury of the trip, It is me and I have not idea how it happened, Here is a quick look, If anyone has any idea what happened please let me know.

Tomorrow will be a long day first 500 mile day of the trip, hope to make it to “Tail of the Dragon”
