The trip is over......

We were able to make some good time in Colorado stopping at Aspen and the wonders of the Colorado River which was raging with snow melt from the mountains. Leading over the Rockies at 12,000 feet there was still four feet of snow on the summit. Just to make sure we were able to enjoy the freezing cold temps of the mountains, Jim took an exit that led us right back over the summit from which we just came and again froze our clutches off.

Finding a little mom and pop motel that was a little iffy but still $55 30 miles east of Denver we were able to make great time Saturday coming back home. Eastern Colorado and Western Kansas is no place to be on a motorcycle when the temps are in the 90's and there is NOTHING to look at. Your mind wonders a lot.

We are glad to be back home. 3,220 miles, the butt still feels good and we are all still friends. Plans for the 2012 One Man Wolf Pack Tour are in the making......OMWPT 2012, The Quest for Elvis! We may be headed for Memphis, Tennessee! If you want to go let me know and I will sew on your Wolf Pack Patch before we leave!

Still snow

There is still a lot of snow (some fresh at the higher elevations of Colorado. The rivers are raging because of all the snow this winter. Angry Rivers, as the locals say

Vail in The Summertime

Its cold in the mountains!

In a motel in Richfield Utah, $42 with tax, no roll a way bed so they gave Ric his own free room! This has to be the friendliest town in the USA.

The new friend

The girls in one of the finer dining establishments in Seligman, Nevada along 66

Makes you wonder doesn't it?

Hoover Dam

Having battled rain in Kansas, tornado damage in Oklahoma, high temperatures in Texas and strong winds in New Mexico,and really cold temperatures going into Flagstaff Arizona, we finally had a perfect day of riding into Las Vegas.

No trip going into Vegas would be complete without the Hoover Dam stop. This picture was taken from the new bridge that bypasses the dam. Over 350 feet over the river, it gives spectacular views of Hoover Dam. Started in 2002 and finished last year at a cost of 240 million dollars, the Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge is almost as impressive as the dam itself.

Finally!

The beginning of the Apex of our journey.

People along the way

It has been strange how many foreigners we have met on our way to Las Vegas, mainly Germans. Many of whom are traveling along Route 66 or show up at the Grand Canyon. This group rented Harleys in Florida and were traveling across the United States. Rental for a Harley Davidson for this long of trip is close to $6,000 each!
