Left Atlanta last Thursday at 5.30am.

Got to Fredonia, KS 860 miles later at 7.00 pm.

Met Valkyrie friends in Wichita Fri morning and rode to Pueblo.

Left them Saturday morning and rode to Durango via Monarch Pass and Slumgullion and grew gills on the way.

Sunday morning west to Mancos, Telluride, Ridgway, Million Dollar Highway south to Durnago and then north to Montrose to mee friends again. Grew fins on the way.

Monday we rode Black Canyon of the Gunnison, then I rode onto Gunnison to check into my motel. Afternoon I rode the West Elk Loop which included about miles of dirt road over Kebler Pass and back thru Hotchkiss and Crawford to Gunnison. Grew scales on the way.

Today is a laundry/rest day with a gentle ride later today up over Monarch Pass again. Hopefully in the warm and dry.

Photos later.

I went to both the south & north rim of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and I think the north is much better. Maybe it is the 6 miles of deserted dirt road that makes it better.

Cool, Paul, I guess that is a good enough reason to not come over to get the horn worked on. You're in friggin' Colorado! :eek: Have fun you lucky duck (no pun intended) and come home safe.
