HOME!
Well after 21 days, 6574 miles, 17 states (5 of which I visited twice) and a whole lot of fun, I am back home.

Today started out in Indiana as a cold morning that never got much warmer and when I got to the New York State line, it started to pour! I had decided at some point today that no matter what, I was going to sleep in my own bed tonight and so I rode the last 200 miles or so in tropical rain-and it was fun! (630 miles total today)

When I began this adventure, I had no idea what to expect. It was something that I had wanted to do for a long time but I didn't really know why or if I would even like traveling like this. As I think about it now, I would do this trip or one like it again in a second. As much as I experienced, there is still so much that did not get done or that I didn't see simply because there is so much to see and do. There are so many side trips that could be taken from The Mother Road, trips to so many of the places that helped to shape our country much as Route 66 did. After that there is the Pacific coast, all the way up to Washington State and Oregon, Yellowstone, Yosemite, Bryce, Mt Rushmore, Glacier, and the list can go on and on. So maybe I'll be planning a new adventure to one or more of those places. Along the way on this trip I met some really nice people both  from America and around  the world. That is as much a part of the fun as the travel and the history. I also got to see the absolute majesty of a good part of this great country. I am truly blessed to have been able to do this.

So, I'm glad that you came along for the ride, you cannot imagine, even with this blog, just how much I enjoyed myself.




So, take note-dream a lot but every chance you get, live out a dream, it can be magical!

All my best,
