I was rolling westbound on I-80/US 30 through Wyoming headed towards Utah today, did any of you eastbound inmates wave at a fat guy on an orange machine today?

Not sure if you guys are gonna see this tonight, but i got soaked bad in that lighting storm and I've grabbed a hotel in Breckenridge. I'll try to join up with the group in the morning!
Alive and well though!

It was a tad soggy here today but the morning looks good. Looks like we're gonna head out @0930. The guys up at the camp have zero service.

In this picture Skunkworks had a bent rim and a flat tire, used a Harbor Frieght mallet to straighten the rim enough so the tire held air again.

Skunkworks did a very good job organizing everything I really enjoyed the Ghost town Ride and everyone that showed up ! I The tips those guys gave me helped me learn a lot of new stuff about handling a bike in those rough conditions.
Left the campground about 10 am this morning heading for home, GPS said 1211 miles, did a little over 700 miles today so 500 to go. Got a room at Motel 6 in Avoca Iowa for $74 but no free breakfast. Will probably arrive home tomorrow evening.
Was very nice weather until I got to Denver then it got very hot sometimes close to 100 degrees. Traffic wasn’t bad at all.

Had breakfast at a very nice family style restaurant this morning, Embers is the name of the restaurant I definitely intend to stop here again someday, it’s just off I80 at exit 40, it was definitely the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time .

Thank you to Allen (@SkunkWorks) for putting together a great weekend and being a phenomenal host. Had an incredible time riding gravel on Friday with the group and twisty highway on Saturday @Silver Badger Steve. Perfect weather, perfect camping, perfect riding. Perfect weekend. Thank you everyone who was there.

Want to give a big thank you to @shunkworks for organizing this event. He did a great job! Thanks for bring all the water! That hand pump at the campground brought up some really brown water.
I had the best time on this trip. Enjoyed meeting and riding with everyone. Just a great group of guys. As fun as the riding was the bull**it around the campfire was just as good…even in the rain. Hey, did anyone figure out how it rains with a sky full of stars?
Attached a picture where we stopped to fill up on pizza.

Here are some more pictures I got. Not exactly sure how to label each so will just dump them here. The old buildings and equipment left by those ‘tough as nails’ people from the past were amazing to see.

That old one room schoolhouse we stopped at, at least i thought Skunkworks said it was a schoolhouse, I was curious about how old it might be so stopped there on my way home to read the signs but there was absolutely no information about the building, apparently the parking lot is intended to be used by hunters.
