    Today was terrific!!

    First, I finished all of my Doughboys and Gold Star Family Tour of Honor stops, 50 each! I only need 2 veterans cemeteries and the remaining Madonnas of the Trail to be completely finished! Yay!

    Second, I got my 8th of 9 stops for Iron Butt Association's Lap of the 48!!! I made it all the way out to Neah Bay, Washington 😳. One way in, same way out, on a terribly misshapen road. The pavement was in great condition, no potholes or many road snakes (tar strips), but the slides and slips have lifted, twisted, and bent it all out of whack. Exhausting.

    My other stops were mostly for the PNW Grand Tour. I've already been to enough of the 30 stops to qualify as a finisher, but I'm trying to get them all to be a grand finisher or something like that. Go big or go home 🤣.

    I'm in my tent again tonight, this time at Paradise HD in Portland (Tigard) 🤫. I should be in NorCal big trees tomorrow, which I adore 😁.

    Out. ✌️

    Miles: 769.7

    P.S.: Luci is doing great 👍.
