22 June

45375 - High winds kept us up most of the night. Our tent shock pole splintered in half due to the winds. Pretty exciting night. Woke to sunny skys once again - ready for a long day in the saddle. It was a crazy night for awhile and then 60 minutes later calm again - must have been the makings of a tornado in the area. Had a great ride today - rode 602 miles today on 10 hours. As we get further east the speed limit went from 75 in Mt, Wy and SD to 70 and 65 in Mi and Wi. Hard to get lots of miles at the lower speed. Traffic is also picking up along with lots of road construction on I90. Making camp in Oakdale, WI. The mesquito's are all over the place here. I overheard two of them talking "should we eat him here or carry him back to the nest". No rain or accidents to speak of today - things are looking up. Both bikes are running great, I'm getting 40-42 mpg's pulling the trailer. Headed out for a brew to let the sun set.
