Thanks but No, we are not riding into New Mexico. Change of plans since Tom W. posted the original Leg 3 Relay Route. We are going Northwest and knocking out the mountain states that would be tough to cover in the fall and winter. New Mexico and even Colorado, Utah, Arizona can be knocked off by someone riding to the Four Corners even in late fall or winter. I think this makes sense. It would even be cool for The Flag to finish covering the lower 48 states at the Four Corners!

That's a good plan. After the NW leg is finished and the flag comes down to So. Cal. it can go east through the southern tip of Nevada, into Arizona and then to Four Corners. The relay will be completed. Can we do it this year? What do we do with the flag(s) then?

I'd certainly welcome the opportunity to meet you, and buy you lunch - but as far as me joining the ride, best not plan heavily on that, I'm still having ups and downs with this equilibrium problem - was back yesterday, but I'm pretty good today - just too dern unpredictable, but I'd sure like to put a few more miles on the KZ...

Don't route the ride this way on my account if there are others wanting to ride if the route went their way instead...

Gary, may well head out to Dayville this weekend for a ride. Not sure yet, but if so I'll give you a heads up. See how your feeling, if up to it maybe we can meet up in John Day for some Bull.

I should have given them the jug of Anti-Monkey Butt powder I carry with me. They'd know what to do with that.

I just heard from goodfastncheap on the phone. Lawrence and Forrest are on the way to Casper, WY as of 7:10 this morning, some 630 miles. Stay safe, guys!

Awesome. Don't forget to post pics in the Photo Album thread.

I had a chance to meet (and ride with) goodfastncheap, saxjonz and Forrest last night. It's true what they say....you do meet the nicest people on a Kawasaki. Great guys and great bikes.

Have a safe trip!

Way to go dudes!!!!!

What state(s) did the flag go through on this ride? Ed
