And unfortunately they have one of these every couple of hundred miles too.

Kinda interesting, we pass one of these every 25 miles or so. Thats a lot of grain. Note the skies @marlboro man

Very little rain. Zero today but yea it has looked like it was going to a LOT. And we certainly got hammered last Thursday on the way down. It sucked.

The government doesn't have any money. We are paying you to do that. We don't mind, you earned it.

Nope, not liking Dodge City.

We can put it on my back seat no problem. Ill be back in town Sunday.

Dodge City KS. Right next to a casino for the wife. Damn the cows in Kansas smell like well..cow shit.

Blasting across the Santa Fe Trail to Dodge City today.

You got it. Wifes pasta was awesome too. Those little baby tacos were bbq quail. I could have eaten a hundred of them.

I use Sygic. It downloads maps to your phone. I got all of North America on mine.

Just use your phone.

So Santa Fe is cool as hell. Got back from dinner and out front of the hotel is a giant biker party. It is an eagle rider tour of aussies, Russians, Germans and Brazilians. Doing rt 66 from Chicago to LA. Awesome folks with free beer.

If you get the offer it will be because they see something in you that they need. That is how smart small business people hire. Your question isnt 'am I qualified', your question is 'do I trust their judgement'.

Yea, decent suite tonight.

This post is @Casper approved. Note the flyer, toss the OP and you may win the class for free. Some of you need it, might be able to run with the white whale. Total Control is legit, I know some peeps that have taken it.

At our hotel in Santa Fe. Nice Hilton downtown in the trendy district. Had to make an emergency stop at a casino for the wife.

Pretty much what we said. Only about 40 miles of it as we went over the mountains. Then maybe 20 of light rain. It was never on the road. Its all good now. But it was interesting for a bit.

So yea, its snowing in the mountains we need to cross. Time for a long breakfast.

Thank you @NinjaDoc for all the extra hate. The Dome needed it. We were surounded for the last three hours by some serious shit. We would stop for gas or snaks and peeps would say 'did you get hit by that hail'? That happened twice. We stayed dry, drove right across the mountains (again) with massive storms on either side of us. We are at our hotel in Springerville Arizona. Our furthest western point for this trip.

The one with my bike is a marked named f'ing State Highway. Talked to an old dude coming out and he said no f'ing way. It was 45 miles to black top and a mess. So back out the glorious road we went. Now working our way around to our hotel in Arizona. About 2 hours to go on an actual paved road.

Then 45 miles of glorious roads. Some of the best I have ever been on. Until we got to these two choices.

We are in the middle if no where. Not seeing any cars...no cops nothing So, turned back 8 miles to get gas at some general store.

This is going to take a few posts to get the pics right to tell the story. Left T or C and 40 miles later I saw this, with 60 miles burned on my 180 tank.

Just finished the first run across Gila. Silver City to Truth or Consequences. Think 60 mile long Warwoman with much more elevation change. Only had to pass one car, no cops. Quick snack break then about 150 back across to Arizona.
