5 July





Left Twin Falls, ID for the final leg over the Blue Mountains into the Oregon flatlands. On top of the pass it was 70 degrees and as we dropped into Pendleton the temperature rose to 98 degrees. What are great welcome home to the northwest with sunny blue skys. Hot and dry thru Yakima where the temperature reached triple digits at 101. Up and over Chinook Pass and into the backyard of Enumclaw. Arrived home safe and sound at 5:02 PM. What a great vacation seeing America, nothing compares to her beauty! Visited Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, District of Columbia, West Virginia, Iowa, Nebraska, Utah and Oregon. 19 states and one territory in 14 days. Some things to reflect on from my point of view:

Most beautiful state: South Dakota

Longest state to ride: Montana

Biggest Mosquito: Wisconsin

Best roads: Wyoming

Worst roads: Washington DC

Most traffic: New Jersey

Least traffic: Wyoming

Flatest state: Nebraska

Worst drivers: New Jersey

Should anyone have 5 or more days to travel across this great nation - do it. Ending mileage - 51144. Total miles traveled - 7218.

  1. I thought South Florida had the worst drivers - now I know they are New Jersians who moved here!
    Glad you are home safe and sound - sounds like a great trip! AA
