The Traxler Family Blog: October 2007

These pictures were taken on the final leg of my 4600 mile trip this summer on my new bike. The first one starts at Cody Wyoming where I stopped at the Viet Nam Vets memorial. I did spend about 30 min there. From Cody I rode to West Yellowstone through the park. The pictures are of the park and I will title them as I post them. From Yellowstone I rode into Idaho to visit Fred and Kathy Sica in Idaho Falls. We had lunch together at Fred's work. I then rode on to Promontory Point, Utah to see where the golden spike was set . Got some good pictures there. This is at the northern tip of Utah and you can just see the Great Salt Lake from there. Then down a long 120 miles to Wells, Nevada and a motel. I hit the biggest rainstorm I have ever ridden into on that lonely road. I saw two cars in 120 miles. The rain really washed off the bike.
From Wells, the next day I made a big run to Nate, Kristi, Chloe and Eliot's home where Julie was staying. Trevor, Amy and Aidan were there and we had a great time with the entire family. I stayed for a couple of days and then headed home to Huntington Beach.
All in all I had a great time and the most interesting thing I saw was Devils Tower and then Crazy Horse Memorial. I had no mechanical problems and no crashes. Not bad for a 60 year old biker.
