Day 6: let's get this done

After stopping so early last night, I was up at 4:00 and gone by 4:30. I had a lot of gas stops today but not a lot of photos. One photo I did get though was my Republic of Texas historical marker. When Texas was its own country for about 5 years, a little sliver of the Republic went all the way up into Rawlins, Wyoming, where there is now a marker to mark the spot. I got the photo for the Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas Republic of Texas Tour, and that makes all five photos for that challenge complete.

I also got one of my last 15 Rides for 2025 photos, the giant potato in Blackfoot, Idaho. Only two left, which I should get tomorrow. I slept for lunch near the museum at a place called Arctic Circle, which looked like it was in an old Dairy Queen building, but it had a really good halibut sandwich, great thick crunchy french fries, and the obligatory fry sauce IYKYK 😉.

I got sprinkled on several times today, and I thought about putting on my rain gear, but I was just too lazy and in too much of a hurry. Luckily I got away with it and didn't get rained on.

By the way Gold Rush Harley-Davidson in Elko Nevada is permanently closed.
