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 28th.  Started out FOGGY, again.   Had some short runs in heavy rain, but not horrible.  Unless the cars slowing to 40-45 on an interstate make you a slight bit irritated.  Who me, no, not me. BS, just ask the other Kevin. Stopped at Max's BMW in New Hampshire for a butt break and dealership investigation.  Kevin got to sit on a 23 R1250RT in blue.  Not this Kevin the other Kevin.  It stayed there and we headed a short distance down the road for lunch at Betsy's Kitchen,  Good food. Continued on with the above reported rain.  Not a lot, but enough that the other Kevin's rain gear was not waterproof.  I stayed dry.  Hehe Only 1 picture as my camera got damp and shut down.  Hair dryer blowing in it now.  Fingers crossed it dries out to use later. Today's only picture.  Our start for the day.

June 27th.  A shorter day of 190 miles riding the Acadia peninsula.  Started out FOGGY and 59°, a short rain shower.  Ended up overcast and upper 60's.  Saw the coast line often and lots of TREES. Relaxing ride of mostly mid 40 MPH.  Great gas milage pace. Here is the loop we took.
