Trip to Redwood Rally

waterman · 08-19-2011, 06:53 PM

Well, we are in Rawlins, WY for the night. Met up with Landman in Laramie and traveled the next 100 miles with him. Checked into the motel and up pulled Badger. Waiting for Ponch and Trosco to show up.

Rawlins is a fine town! I have never been there when it hasn't been windy as hell.

Actually wasn't too bad today.

I think Gene slept for 3 or 4 hours while the Wing was on autopilot! ::)

I don't know if it's an iron butt or a bony butt but never the less it's a tough one.

CJ, don't give all my secrets away!! I did an easy second day, only 550 miles.

I made it to my hotel in Yuba City, 50 miles north of Sacramento. Rode about 420 miles for the day. I stopped in Merced and had lunch with my brother and visited for a bit, then it was back on the road. Near Modesto I was in the left lane and the broad in the white Chevy to my right decided to change lanes on top of me. She didn't hear my horn and just kept coming over, fortunately there was a wide shoulder and I was able to move over without incident.
