On Saturday, June 14, Bryan Bergau, Boyd Harrell & I met at 6:00 a.m. to begin our trek to the four corners area. J.T. Sims also met us to bless the bike and the trip. Then we were off, heading up I-75 to Atlanta, then thru Birmingham to Jasper, AL. After 658 miles and too many hours, we pulled into the motel for a well needed rest.
On Sunday we headed west out of Jasper with the goal of making it to El Reno, OK for the night. After passing thru Memphis, Little Rock and Oklahoma City, and covering 718 miles, we arrived at our destination.
Monday started out with a light rain but soon dried up. However, when the rain stopped, the wind began. After 500 miles of leaning into the wind, we left I-40 and turned north on US-85, which a remnent of historic Route 66. That and a short distance up I-25, we arrived in Las Vegas, NM, where we grabbed NM-518 north to NM-434. Finally a fun road up and over the mountain with lots of twisties, woods, hills and a beautiful stream running along side of the road. Then we had more twisties on NM-64 enroute to Taos. A total of 580 miles today.
More later.
