Got back home about 12:30 today. Still unpacking and getting settled in.
What a great trip, capped off with a great WiSTOC event and temps that never touched 100 degrees... gotta love it...
I'll update my 1st post with a full report when I get all my thoughts together.

Yeah, that's the one... geesh, that road has so many curves and hills at random parts of the curves you really can't rest for a second.
I don't know if you got my message, I left it as I was near Buffalo, MO to see if you were available for a quick visit.
Guess I'm gonna have to go thru MO/AR on the way home,,, always looking for new routes.
Did the alien follow you all the way home??
MO is a surprisingly fun place to ride, if you can deal with the summer heat. (This coming from a Floridian, too). Padden took me on some roads that gave no break whatsoever for a long, long time. Lots of great roads for a long way north of there, too.

Nada, zip, zilch... Stopped at a couple gas stations on the way out but just the wrong non-touristy part of the state. Just gives me an excuse to go back.

Great trip and pictures Joe! Sorry I missed you. (Thought I saw you on the Iowa side of Dubuque on my way to the Galena RTE. but you were more than likely through there long before I was.)

Great ride report as usual Joe I tend to just watch the scenery and forget exactly where I've been...."You know that road where we saw the spaceship"... Can remember the scenery but not where it was half the time.....lol
