Also, loaded, heading west in the morning. Looking forward to natural AC tomorrow night.

Bikes all loaded up for an early departure tomorrow morning. We’ll get as far as we get, and will boondock in the forest tomorrow night and check in at the RV park Sunday at noon.

Sounds like a plan

See everyone there soon.

Nice of the 250x to see y'all off.

Gabriel, fantastic makeover, your CSC looks just like a KTM.

 

[StromXTc]

See everyone there soon.

Saw our friend Craig at the i10 rest area before Kerrville around 9.30 am. I saw the bike, then I said I know that guy. He said he was going straight thru to cc.
I'm overstaying at ft Stockton tonight

We’re also now set up at our campsite. When we got to Cloudcroft we asked if we could check in a day early and we were able to do so. So now no boondocking tonight and moving tomorrow.

Sander, you passed us twice, before and after Artesia.

That backdrop is like being in Hollywood. We better hone our pre-ride speeches.

That's right! Even Oprah stubbles sometimes.

Caught in heavy rain twice today. Came up with this gem. Heater on high hotboxing the bathroom to dry our gear.

A bag of cashews puffed up on our way up here to 8620 feet.

Sorry I'm gonna miss this year due to family obligations. Have a great ride everyone. Gonna miss riding with Brian and the adventure we had last trip. Keep the pic coming.

Y'all keep an eye on that mudclod feller. He ain't shy about twisting the throttle. Benefits greatly from adult supervision.

Day One was great with a fun group of guys.

This building moves back to expose the instrument inside. They were performing maintenance and we're not going to deploy it. I wanted to get in there and "help" them .
