    Glad to see the little guy made the trip! Don how much fuel did you end up using for the trip? I made a run to my cousin's in Lousiana over Memorial weekend (1050 miles) and put $108 worth through my Goldwing. Highest price between here and there was $3.89 a gal. wideload

    I spent about $1500 driving the motorhome around 5000 miles, and maybe 200 more cruising the little motorcycle around 2000 more miles every day around the Chicago area.Those Inspection Stations are for Agriculture, fruits and plants. They probably are checking for other stuff if you look suspicious.

    I got about 5 more videos to post.
    There was no sign on that Ford, it aint going anywhere. that town of Yarnell is at the end of the world. Flagstaff and Prescott are up around 7000 feet and as you drive south, you get to Yarnell and the end of the world. The road just drops right down to the Desert about 10 miles of going straight down. There is another road right next to it that only goes up.So here I go down that road.

    This video is cruising past Meteor Crater towards Flagstaff and you can see some snow on San Francisco Mountain. Then I get off I-40 and cruise Route 66 past the Twin Arrows Trading post. This would be typical of Route 66, abandoned buildings that time has passed by,,,,,
