    Hoka Hey Day 10

    2022年7月5日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 63 °F

    Made the third check in at 0730 this morning, High Desert HD in Meridian, ID. Got the last set of directions. Only 2,100 miles to go!!!

    Bedded down at Jackson Hole HD in Jackson, WY now. Much better than the dirt and gravel on the mountainside. That was a mess.もっと詳しく

    Hoka Hey Day 8

    2022年7月3日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F

    500 miles of slow twisties to start the day. Chased the sunset from I-5 to Coos Bay. It won.

    I heard today that there have been 3 crashes so far, not including 2 or 3 deer strikes. All 3 were single-bike wrecks. The first was the same guy that hit a deer the first day. He's fine. The second was a retired Navy Master Chief Petty Officer I met last year at a rally. He's in hospital, but stable and doing fine. The third guy hit some gravel and went over the side of the cliff (no guardrail). He's dead.

    I'm tired. Should hit the third and final checkpoint tomorrow in Boise. Have lots of miles to get there though.    もっと詳しく

    Entering California. The sign is as blurry as I felt.

    Hoka Hey Day 7

    2022年7月2日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 52 °F

    Long, hot, and cold day. Nevada tried to blow me off the road in over 100°F heat while ripping off my helmet despite it still being attached to my head. My neck is sore and stiff, and my wrists, elbows, and shoulders are killing me from battling the bike for hundreds of miles.

    Finally made it into California and hit over 7,700 feet, which dropped the temperature in the low 60s, which felt much, much colder.

    Just ate a sandwich. Up at 0400 again in the a.m. for our continuing run north. Oregon tomorrow!    もっと詳しく

    Hoka Hey Day 5

    2022年6月30日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 84 °F

    Rough day with a start of hundreds of miles of twisties on wet, yucky roads. Great roads through, including Devil's Highway in Arizona, formerly AZ-666 now AZ-191.

    Things in/on/by the road:
    - Cows
    - Whitetail deer
    - Horse 💩
    - Horses
    - Chipmunks
    - Squirrels
    - Coyotes
    - Reservation dog
    - Lizard, including a juvenile Gila Monster that I really hope I didn't hit
    - Birds, from sparrows to vultures and one quail that just stood there as I rode by
    - Rocks, from gravel to volleyball-sized boulders
    - And of course lots of tire treads from semi blowouts

    Got soaked by two storms. Feet boiled to death in boots. Storms were crazy. Each mountain had its own cloud that looked like a faucet was left running. I could see several at once.

    I'm so tired that I had to stop for the second storm that got me because the wind was blowing me across lanes. I put the bike on the kickstand to stay upright, then leaned forward on my tank bag and considered taking a nap. 🤣    もっと詳しく

    Hoka Hey Day 4

    2022年6月29日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 79 °F

    A lightning bug hit my helmet visor last night. I couldn't figure out where the light was coming from until part of it blew off. I'm tired 🤣.

    I rode NM-380 today, one of the many roads Lumpy and I rode together last year.

    Guys do not read street signs. Every guy I have followed has missed turns. 4 days it has taken me to figure out not to trust anyone's directions but my own. I haven't followed any gals because other than a few minutes with my friend Tammy on Day 2, I haven't seen any. But Tammy got herself lost, too. 🤣    もっと詳しく

    Getting Ready

    2022年6月25日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 61 °F

    Today I did laundry, repacked, and loaded the bike.

    We had a rider briefing where Beth, Jim Red Cloud's widow, told us the significance of the dance sticks.

    Horse dance sticks:
    - black: west; place to go after death; "respect"
    - red: north, where pipestone comes from "honor"
    - east: yellow; for knowledge that comes with day/sun; "integrity"
    - white: south; healing; "compassion"
    - green: strength from mother earth; "perseverance"; given to last finisher
    - blue: for the Creator; "sacrifice"; given to family if someone dies on the ride

    I ran into my Air Force buddy Brent at the briefing, and I intend to ride out with him and his friend, if the organizers don't put us in some sort of order.

    We have to be at the Harley dealership at 05:00, so I'm already in bed about to go to sleep. I'll post my beginning mileage tomorrow, but after that I don't know how often I'll post. You can still follow my location, though. Just click the map above.

    After a storm blew through

    Maintenance & Shopping

    2022年6月24日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌧 63 °F

    Today I had maintenance at Black Hills Harley. They put on a new front tire, did a 5,000-mile service, and gave the bike a good look to make sure everything was good to go. I feel confident that Willie can get me through this ride.

    I also did some shopping for a few things for the road and am in the process of reorganizing my pack to make essentials the easiest to access. It will look like I'm carrying more than before because everything is not condensed, but the weight is pretty much the same.

    This evening we had a Meet & Greet at the hotel, and I've been meeting as many folks as I can. The stories are fascinating. I hope I have some great ones to tell after I make it back to South Dakota for the finish party on 9 July. And I will make it back.

    Salt Lake City to Rapid City

    2022年6月23日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F

    I left SLC this morning at 05:30 following Chris Harrison, the western region HOG Regional Manager, into Wyoming. He was headed to Cody, so we split off at 11:45 in Thermopolis, WY, after about 330 miles down.

    I did the remaining 385 miles alone, which was nice after leading a group for the past week. I didn't take time to stop at the overlooks for some pictures along Wind River or Powder River Pass, so I'll have to come back another time.

    754 miles and 11.5 hours after leaving SLC, I arrived in Rapid City still feeling pretty good. I hope that lasts over the next two weeks 🤞.

    South down the west side of Flaming Gorge to Red Canyon, then a quick stop at the dam before lunch in Dutch John, WY.

    Continuing south to Vernal, UT, then west on US191 and US40 to Heber City. Through the gorge on US189 into Lindon and the Timpanogos HD, where we wrapped up the rally with a terrific dinner and fellowship.

    Somewhere along the way, I managed to swerve the bike through and duck my head below the debris caused by a tire blowing out on the vehicle in front of me. But despite that, it was another fantastic day with great folks and amazing scenery.

Lots and lots of pronghorn antelope by the road, but none IN the road, luckily. We finished with a good meal at the dealership.

    Butte MT to Idaho Falls ID, the short way: I-15.

    We planned to visit Craters of the Moon National Monument, but the weather was terrible again.

    We were hopeful about an hour and a half after leaving Butte this morning and jumped off the interstate by the Clark Canyon Reservoir to squiggle southwest to Craters. About 10 miles west on Route 324, we passed two bikers giving us hand signals to turn around. We pulled over to look at maps and, while Tom chased down the guys to get the story, a woman in a Kubota stopped to talk to us. Both the woman and the guys confirmed that our Route became 15 miles of dirt (aka mud) further down 💩😭. Not wanting to risk it, we backtracked to the interstate. By the time we stopped in Dubois (aka Ghost Town) for lunch at the diner (aka gas station), we all were done with the weather, so we beelined on I-15 to our hotels.

    We had a nice taco truck meal at the dealership, then a few beers at the microbrewery next to the hotel. Really good day despite the weather.

    Missoula to Butte, the long way: US93 south to MT43 east, then Route 278 to Dillon (where Dano went to college), and finally Routes 41 and 2 into Butte.

    Worse weather today, but we still enjoyed parts of it, including our lunch stop in Wisdom and our visit to Big Hole National Battlefield.

    We were in mostly misty rain the majority of the day, but as we came through the pass on Route 2 just south of Butte, we hit a heavy down pour with, yes, pea-sized hail. That sucked.

    Dano's brother Charlie met up with us at the dealership, so they and Rob left early for dinner with him. The rest of us had a great meal and my roommate Gina and I are now in our room, dry and warm and about to crash. Good day.

    2022年6月16日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 68 °F

    Today I decided to beeline to Twin Falls to get my 10 Rides for 2022 photo at Snake River where Evel Knievel unsuccessfully attempted to jump the canyon with his "skycycle" aka rocket.

    On the way back to Meridian, I stopped at Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument Visitor's Center for a moment.

    Then I hit the dealership where I had service yesterday and where the Gem of a Ride HOG Touring Rally begins. I saw a lot of people I know, including my two buds from Ohio who have come out to join me, Dano and Rob. I haven't seen Rob since 2020 and Dano since September, so it's wonderful to be near them again.

    We hung out for a while, then went to the hotel to get them checked in. Rob took a nap while Dano and I got caught up on our lives, then we all went back to the HD for dinner.

    A good meal with good conversation and decisions about where and when to meet in the morning, then it was back to the hotel. Now, I'm just about ready to crash. Another really good day.

    Snake River

    Oregon To Idaho

    2022年6月14日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 61 °F

    Well, I only made it to 02:30 before having to go to the laundry room for warmth. I was able to nap in the rocking chair though. At 07:00 I started packing and breaking down the tent. At 08:00, I was standing at the store door to get coffee 🤣. By 09:00, I had on pretty much all of my clothes and my heated gear, including the insoles, and was rolling south to go east.

    Unlike the days I rode from Medford to Klamath Falls and then to Culver, it wasn't raining and I got to see some stuff. Just north of Bend there is an alpaca farm, and not long after that I spied several Longhorns with calves. Today's ride was mostly through what signs called the Great Plains or the High Plains, which was mostly cattle. I also saw a small herd of mule deer who looked like they wanted to cross the road to get it a small pond. I got past them first. When I got lower in altitude, from 4,500 to about 2,000 feet, the land turned to irrigated crops. There were three common crops, a grain, a wheat, and onions. No doubt on the onions because the smell was so thick I could taste them.

    I got to Meridian (Boise) at 17:30 (Mountain time now) with only a little dampness on my leathers from some light sprinkles and road spray. It's was a good day because my heated gear kept me toasty warm all day and I didn't run out of gas despite having to go 160 miles.

    Unfortunately, I am terribly sad that I lost my red neck gaiter somewhere on the road late today. It was a gift from the Ramstein Military HOG Chapter 2015 Christmas Party we had about a week before I left Germany. I was wearing it inside my helmet to keep my head and ears warmer. The wind must have sucked it out. 😭😭😭

    After I checked in and unloaded the bike, which is when I realized the gaiter was gone, I walked across the street to the grocery store and am now sitting in the room, messing with my GPS, drinking a cold beverage, and feeling like it's only 19:30.

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

    Oregon Summer Is COLD 🥶

    2022年6月13日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 46 °F

    At 04:30, I woke up shivering in the 35°F "summer" and went directly to the laundry room to read. I read one book yesterday and started a second last night. After I finished the second book around noon, I started a 1,000-piece puzzle. I finished that at 21:00.

    When I went to take a shower sometime in the morning, I noticed a pair of yoga pants that were still in the same place as yesterday with shampoo and soap bottles next to it. Assuming all were abandoned, I tried the pants on and although they were snug (which is probably how they're supposed to fit), I decided to wear them as an extra layer on top of my long johns and under my heated gear pants. I have 3 shirts on plus my heated gear jacket. I don't know if I have enough clothes enough to make it through the night 🥶. At least it's not raining, too.
