As Michael Buble' would say..."I wanna go home"

Before I get to my final thoughts of the trip I need to give a quick recap of my last day on the road. I spent the night last night in Raton, NM. I went out to load my bike this morning and found a lovely, steady rain. So I grabbed my rain gear and headed back into my room. After getting all suited up, I headed out at about 5:45 AM. 10 minutes later it stopped raining, although I was in clouds and fog until the Texas boarder. I made good time and was able to take off my rain gear at my first fuel stop and remove my coat and chaps at my second fuel stop. After that, I was just working on my tan and making time. I think Texas may have just passed Montana for the highest average speed. I calculated it, and I averaged 63 MPH...including stops today. I was like a trail horse that gets a scent of the barn and there is nothing that's going to slow you down from getting there. I was exhausted when I got to my new rent house, but thrilled to see my son at home. After a quick shower, I went to dinner with my kids and grandkids. So wraps up my 50 state journey! My next blog update will be my final thoughts on the trip.

Exhausted, but home

My favorite moment of the trip!
