Monday, August 23
Our final day on the road, from Barstow to Santa Monica. We're road weary, but hardly worn out, though in the Mojave Desert the temps at 102 degrees again challenge our stamina. On I-15 east to I-10 east traffic swells in volume and aggressiveness, snapping my reflexes awake to urban riding conditions. Two hours later we debike at the home of my cousin Linda and husband Mark Rosman in Santa Monica. A week of rest, parties, friends, and relatives begins.
We have ridden 4046 miles across America in 20 days. Sturgis, the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Needles Canyon, Custer National Park, Devil's Tower, Rocky Mountain National Park, Glenwood Canyon, Red Mountain Pass, and Grand Canyon have entered our roster of sites seen and places visited on a motorcycle. There are more to come. Let's see...
