July 2nd.  

The run to home began at 5:40 and ended at 9:45.  256 miles and several miles of rain in Illinois.

A good trip overall.  330 dollars in fuel with a 49 MPG gallon average.  

The RT likes 55-60 and drinks fuel 75 and above.

Time to put this trip in the record books and start planning the next adventure.

 July 1st.   565 miles of interstate.  We changed up our stopping point at the Cracker Barrel.  Decided to push on another 130 miles.  Good choice as tomorrows final leg will only be 4 hours long. Left Pennsylvania to West Virginia to Ohio to Indiana and then Illinois. Not much to say except the rain that showed on radar was not there, tooooo bad.

 June 30th.  A dry riding day.  We actually got to ride motorcycle roads with no traffic.  Best roads on the whole trip.  This trip was not about the roads, but riding in the states in the NE part of the USA.   Covered 356 miles today in 10.5 hours.  We did spend close to 2 hours at the Flight 93 memorial in Pennsylvania.  Very Somber area.  Listened to a very nice accounting of the flight by a park ranger.

 June 25th.  They let us back into the states.  Very smokey at the start of the day, reminded Kevin and I of our 2020 west coast trip. Had lunch out side of Lake Placid at The Tail of the Pup BBQ.  Very good. Onto the Cliffside Coaster at the Bobsled hill.  I tried to go full throttle down, but my left demon made me brake at a few spots.  At least Kevin did not hold me up.  He got a 2nd FREE run because the 2 in front of him made him brake.  He said once the sled actually applied the brakes due to closeness of the slower car. On to some good roads.  Vermont speed limits are limiting.   Once again it got into the mid 80's. Time to relax and get tomorrows adventures loaded.
