Easy when we're driving all day, but I appreciate the attagirl all the same. Next challenge is to post in the moment when we're riding every day.

Wow, same day post! Easy, huh? I knew you could do it.

So Oregon, Washington, and I suggest maybe a side trip to Vancouver Island? The Olympic Discovery Trail on the Olympic Peninsula is terrific, and the Coho ferry to Victoria from Port Angeles is a hoot. Looking forward to reading about your adventures south.

Ooh, so close! Looking forward to seeing how your time here goes. The desert should be in bloom by the time you leave.

Larry, you really covered some top tier rides on your last tour. I admire your fortitude trooping back to the Klondike in the middle of winter. Looking forward to seeing you take on those last 4 states!

Thanks Keith, ya know these are the things we tell ourselves to keep going

Scott, our RV reservation starts Weds 2/1. We have ambitions for a ride Tuesday along the Rio Grande in Socorro and then will drive from there to Tucson Wednesday. We might be ships passing then, but mebbe could figure something out when we're in Washington and Oregon in June. Still fleshing out that plan.

Looking forward to your travels in Tucson. We just got back to cold, dark Alaska last night after our 2 1/2 weeks in the southwest. A return trip next winter is a must.

"a triumph of hope over experience."

What a wonderfully evocative phrase!

Also, what’s this about a tour to the Northwest in June?

Hey, when do you arrive? We’ve extended our stay by three days and won’t be leaving town until Wednesday morning.
