Final Roll of film from the Road

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.
