OTHER CHECK POINTS FOR
TODAY'S CHECK POINT
TODAY'S CHECK POINT
- Motorcycle seat comfort ratio: Contest between Wal*Mart Gel Pad; $100 Pad from Internet; $180 Pad from Internet; Bum Beads. The winner is the $180 Pad owned by Son, 1st Place is the Walmart Pad owned by Dad and 2nd Place are the Bum Beads owned by Dad.
The winning pad is an Air Hawk (an older model) but it was $40 on eBay. Either it is a better pad all around or the "Son" is just younger!
Here are the promised beards! YowZee!
- Monitoring Cortizone Shot in knee for Son: No pain, no problem. However, helmet neck and shoulders is a nuisance.
- Monitoring hand-stinging for Dad: The hand stinging is occasional - considering left handed throttle option on next motorcycle.
- Report on Enthusiam: Whoo! Yea! Pumped! Awesome! Only 8,053 more miles to go!

GREATEST CHALLENGE
The roads are horrible; bumps, gravel, construction and traffic jams!
FUNNIEST THING TODAY
There was this awful SMELL for about an hour and a half. We could hardly breathe! We thought it was the cattle truck in front of us but it turned off, then we thought it must be us, but finally we asked somebody and they told us that this time of year the farmers fertilize their wheat, potato, corn and alfalfa fields. Whew! Thank goodness it wasn't us!
COOLEST THING
People are taking photos of the sign on our bikes. They think our trip is an awesome goal.
