Day 1 – Chasing the Sun

We are on the road again, this time heading west. Going west always seems better than east to me. Riding with the sun, you gain daylight every day. There’s something satisfying about traveling in the same direction for multiple days. For most of us, rarely are we more than a day’s travel from home. And the American West is just spectacular! The landscape varies so much and appears foreign and exotic to those of us living east of the Mississippi.

Today was just a travel day so no spectacular pictures. Left Southern Indiana in gloom and fog. Had a little rain around St Louis. Then the sky cleared for a great afternoon and evening. Holed up in Mound City Missouri at a very motorcycle-friendly hotel. We will be passing through the Sandhills of Nebraska tomorrow and hopefully end up around Scotts Bluff. Stay tuned. The pictures will get better! We will not be nearly as remote as last year so I hope to be able to update daily. I just hope the snow melts in the Black Hills by the time we get there.
