It was my pleasure sir..
Nicely done Joe!! You should have taken that ole raccoon hunter along with you!! He would not have slowed you down to much!! 
Dang, nice daily mileage totals while camping. No flower sniffin there. Nice pics too!!
Great stuff Joe! Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Some really great pictures. Can't wait to get on the road. I need to figure out how to pack 2 up with camping gear on an ST.
Good trip, great camera. what is the camera?
Your trip seemed a bit like Mr Padden and myself's trip. A good long quick ride with lots of sights seen. You should have let me know you were stopping in Roswell I would have bought you a meal (altough I haven't found the "good place" yet).

Great pictures Joe. Enjoyed your report as you rode some of the roads I was on but in the other direction. Coronado Trail (191 in Eastern Arizona) is definately one of my favorite rides now! The copper mine in Clifton is an amazing site to either start or end that ride.
I thought I rode rode a lot in my 16 day at 409 miles / day but you had me beat. for you.

How good is a plastic painter's "drop cloth" to put under the tent?

Looks like a great ride. I'm going west next year. I'm tired of traveling east. My family will have to come west if they want to see me. So much I want to see out west.

I adjusted my route when I saw you on that lower AZ/NM part via your spot.. thanks!
The purpose is to protect the tent, I would go with a cheapo poly tarp from walmart as it's probably tougher, but also noisier..
Awesome trip/pictures Mellow, I'm glad you made stop by over MnSTOC. Also fun day to have you along for day trip (Tri state areas) on southern MN, northern Iowa and mostly Wisconsin's twisties. But, you missing out great picture of me watering wild flowers along the road and Bob Harvesting beans/corns though

Thanks for the ride Joe. For those of you that have never traveled with Joe, he doesn't know how to pitch his tent in the daylight or break camp in the light. Up before the sun and down after the sunsets!!!

LOL.. looks who's talking, you're typically 100 miles away after 2 cups of coffee before I even unzip my tent..
Amazing pictures. Thanks for sharing

You guys are something. As a relative newbie, getting ready to attend his very first *STOC (WiSTOC), I'm not so sure I can keep up with your riding styles. I hope to some day ...
