Dave and I left Laramie the same morning and split up in Cheyenne where I headed back to Bisbee (about 1000 miles and Dave headed back to Vernon. He mixed interstate & secondary roads all the way back. He put in 400+ mile days for the most parts and made me proud staying in sketchy motels. The last night sounded like the worst motel (pictures below). Your first tip off is that there are no cars in the driveway (even though they said only one room left on the app).
The last day he hustled to beat Hurricane Henri back to VT, and sound like he got just a little rain that last day. He also rode with a guy from Casper WY who was heading for Maine and the guy noticed his back tire was soft. Dave checked it and sure enough it was way down in pressure so who knows how long it had been slow leaking. Any way, thanks to the guy from Casper.
Anyway, we both made it home safe and sound, road a bunch of miles over the 3 weeks (John = 6291, Dave = 6343), met some great people, drank a lot of coffee, laughed a lot, and got lost a lot. We are not getting any younger so we gotta do these trips as long as we can swing a leg over a motorcycle seat.
Dave's return trip city list:
2021-08-18-Wednesday-Laramie WY to Kearney NE
2021-08-19-Thursday-Kearney NE to Hannibal MO
2021-08-20-Friday-Hannibal MO to Springfield OH
2021-08-21-Saturday Springfield OH to Bradford PA
2021-08-22-Sunday Bradford PA to Vernon VT
