"We made it", we're back home again in Indiana

We traveled over 5344 miles since leaving home June 10th. The Harley ran flawlessly using only a pint of oil. Average  miles per gallon 40.  It is very dirty and I will spend a day cleaning it up. We endured rain, wind (50 mph crosswind) heat (111 degrees), cold (41 degrees)We traveled through the states of Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado. Farthest West, Santa Monica California. Farthest south, Fallbrook California. Farthest north, South Lake Tahoe. Farthest East, New Albany Indiana.
Thanks for all the prayers for our safe trip.

P.S. this blog has had over 1400 hits so far. It was designed to keep family and friends up to date on our trip and whereabouts. Thanks to all for following us.

    Your riding buddies!
