Made it home safely today, enjoyed the ride of a lifetime. The people I met made the ride relaxing and informative, from Germany, France, Italy, Mexico, Lafayette, La., and Bandera, Tx., just to name a few. Met a gentleman in Monument Valley from France, who now lives in Lafayette, his son attended Texas A&M ag center just a few miles from me. He was leading a group of French men and ladies around the West. He drove the van with all the luggage, they rode Harleys. The lady from Bandera was traveling with her grandson and great grand children, told me not to go to Glacier National Park, it was getting cold. Her grandson lives in Missoula, I cut that part of the trip. Here's a few pics.

First night of Camping, Lake Colorado City State Park, Texas

Canyon De Chelly, Chinle, Az.

Rafting on the Snake river, got to go back there.

Visited this Mormon Tabernacle in Paris, Idaho.

Long road home from North Dakota.


There's lots more, but hate to bore you.

The highlight of the whole trip was a stay with MP and Ms CP in North Dakota, hospitality beyond belief. If you've never eaten North Dakota farm raised and farm fed beef, you'd better make that trip.
