Where were you a PM?
Hope you have calm winds on the stretch between Kansas and Colorado. Anytime I've gone that way, the cross winds have given me a beating. Make sure you fill up every opportunity you can especially if you are taking the smaller roads, the cross winds will chew up your miles/gallon.
Enjoying your report and pictures.

Yea, last year i spent two days in a truck stop motel in kansas city ks. Seems kansas was making a funny, sleeting, snowing , raining and blowing all at once!
i ate some lousy food there! Will be heading there in the next few days. I remember the afternoon gusts well
If u want gas problems, try utah on a sunday morning!

Somewhere in ky! My face hurts from smiling! Was on a two way one lane for about 15 mi. Curvy as hell! A road was closed for piping and they let me thru! The whole climb and decent just for me!
I’m in the area if you need anything.

Well, i found 
another steep curvy valley, and at the bottom was a sweet suprise! Had breakfast with the hippy chicks! They accused me i had an accent and i assured them i certainly did not, and that everyone else did!
the best $6.00 meal ive had in a while!

You are a rock's throw from some really good roads if you have the time. See if you can find 232 off of 79 toward the reservoir just south of Bumpus Mills.
Then take 147 back to 49. I could keep you busy in Tennessee for days ...

The Trace is 9 hours top to bottom if you don't stop for lunch. It is a very peaceful ride with very little traffic.
A lot history along the way also.
