Sounds like yer makin' good time. Reminds me of the time I rode home
from Prince Edward Island, 3400 plus miles in 4 days. So how do you
like the new scoot? The new frame is a major improvement, like night
and day! Sure wish I'd a hooked up with yous!
Take care and my best to Mary,
PB

great ride report, and glad yer havin' a good ride. me an' th' missus went
through the square states in June (inna cage and pulling a teardrop trailer)
and learned that that is apparently the rainy season in the west. Rainy
weather 3 weeks out of 4 and the Going to the Sun road in Glacier Park was
still closed on account of snow. Sure is pretty out there, though.
