| | Well, I'm back! I left OKC at about 7:30pm CST and headed
west. After a brief stint on the legendary route 66, I left the
busy roads and headed for the panhandle. As I rode west into a
beautiful Oklahoma sunset, lightning flashed to the northwest.
The thunder of my motorcycle drowned out all else as I passed through
sleepy little farm town after sleeply little farm town. The wind
from the south buffetted me, making me I would stop in some of them to
rest my body and have a snack. Finally at 4am I really needed to
sleep. I stopped in Boise City, OK. Apparently its
pronounced "BWAZ" instead of "BOY-SEE" like the city in Idaho. I
slept there until 10:30 and proceeed on. Up through more more
little towns... Lamar, CO. I finally hit I-70 and was headed west
when I saw a sign "CO-86 Scenic route to Denver." In 5 seconds I
had decided to take it. it was about 80-90 miles through some
really nice country out toward Castle Rock. Before I got to
Kiowa, I saw a funnel cloud forming. The clounds were up about
8000 feet and the funnel was extending down about 1/3 of the way to the
ground. It didn't touch down, but it was exciting. I didn't
really do much in the way of "twisties" but I hear they are a lot of
fun. Stop and go traffic in Denver was interesting, specially
since I can't flat foot the pavement on the KLR. Anyway, I
finally made it home. It was a great ride :)
