What a hoot!! 13,500 or so miles in 44 days. On the way back we went from Prudhoe Bay at the very top all the way to Key West Florida. Coast to coast the hard way.. I was surprised by the amount of Florida lic plates in Alaska.. I even met another Motorcycle rider from Florida and only two towns over from me!! Worst weather was in Iowa. Got caught in a tornado and had to hole up in a state rest stop.. scary!!
Best retirement give EVER!!!
