Eastward-Bound

The rally ended yesterday evening at Durango Harley. There were some off-bike games, like tossing cheese puffs onto your partner's shaving cream covered shower cap, and I had a Texas Taco from the BBQ place next door. I took off back to the hotel around 19:00 to pack for today.

I left the hotel at 05:45 in the 52°F chill and took CO 160 east. After a glimpse of the huge moon setting behind the mountains, the sunrise began to come up in front of me. Like the Japanese Rising Sun, the brilliant orange was serrated by the mountain peaks causing it streak in the clear blue sky. Incredible.

It took four hours to reach Interstate 25, where I turned north to Pueblo and the last Colorado dealership 😁. Then I took US 50. Ugh. A straight flat line through eastern Colorado and Kansas. Nothing but crops and beef cattle. Boring. By 11:00 I was downing a 5-Hour Energy.

Now I'm stopped for gas. I believe it's 97°F, an increase of 45° since this morning. Ugh.

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️
