Yeah, I'm pretty sure a storm followed me around the country. I think I got wet almost every day. It freaking rained on me in New Mexico. It rains 3 days a year there. WTF?

Well, a day late getting back, but I made it west, veered south and spent a few days in New Orleans and headed back. Ended up riding 3985 miles. should have taken another 15 mile cruise and made it an even 4000. Almost all highway, and my chicken strips show it. I didn't take a lot of pics, just didn't really feel like it. Had fun, my ass and shoulders still hurt. The wind in Texas beats the shit out of you, especially since the speed limit is 80. Went To Albuquerque, and then headed southeast through Texas to New Orleans. Hit a flood and some heavy, heavy rain in Louisiana and Mississippi, only made it 100 miles when I needed to go 400 Sunday, hence the lateness. I had 800 to do on Monday, would have made it if wasn't so goddamn foggy that morning in MS and that evening in KY. I've been sleeping or busy since I got back yesterday, had to ride straight to work yesterday from about 50 miles south of of Cincy. I'll post details and pics tomorrow when I get a few minutes. Here's my route though, and a pic of the water I was riding through in LA. Was actually picking up and moving the bike. This was off the highway, the highway only had an inch or so of water. Route(just some random spots to mark the route, google maps couldn't handle all of my stops): Flood(notice the dude in the white car that just gave up and pulled onto the median). More to come later. Sleepy time.

I was able to sneak a few minutes at work and came up with this quick design. I'll do a real when I get back after labor day. Hopefully one color includes screens ????

Mostly dealing with state laws, that's why I'm using troopers for most of the info. Folks can deal with their own city crap.
