Red Horse Garage

First time I have had time to write. The open road is wonderful. Unlike seeing America from within a car – motorcycles offer the smells the environments. I will keep this post open and just to jot these down

Cars (nitrous oxides)
Diesel trucks (exhaust, brakes and clutches)
Newly plowed earth
Blooming trees and flowers
Jet fuel (plane passed over us approaching airport)
Fertilizer (it is planting session)
Manures and Farms
Approaching Rain
Just Rain
After the rain
Dust Storms
Irrigation systems (yes different than rain)
Baking bread (was actually a grain processing mill)
Fear (yesterdays weather travels)
Fresh asphalt
Feed lot (thousands of beef critters. Horrid smell and a worse environment fir them)
Fresh sawn wood
Camp fires
Brush fires
BBQ
Burger King
More to follow…..

Weather 101

Not pleased with yesterday’s unpreparedness. Spent time last night playing with alerts and apps. Lesson learned. Even though we aren’t the novice travelers, we truly had a gap in our planning and monitoring activities. That said the adventure was exciting!

Rough Ride

Seventy miles out of Denver and the weather went south. Hale, wind, torrent rain, thunder, lightening and then it cleared. Followed by dark sky rain, stronger winds and a blinding dust storm. Holy crap what a ride.
