Wow, Pdedse, thanks for all of the pics and taking us along with your journey. Glad to hear you got home safe.

And, trust you didn't get hit with any late-night sprinklers hitting your hammock on this trip?

I kid you not...I was laying in the hammock and leaned over to grab my pull rope so that I could sway with the breeze...I look down and there's a sprinkler head 2 feet away from me.  "you gotta be kiddin' me!" I thinks to myself.  Just about pulled up stakes to look for another spot, but there simply were no other tree hangin' options.  Then I looked closely at the sprinkler head and it looked like it handn't been used in some time.  And they had a "grey water" bubblers that gurgled at the bases of surrounding trees, so I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.  Fortunately, no other irrigation happened.

Great report and pictures, pdedse. There are some lovely scenic contrasts.

I'm really sorry you didn't make it as I would have enjoyed the longer report. But you did the right thing.

Today it's rainy and I'm thinking "I could be somewheres in North Dakota!"... I love the idea of visiting my sister in Cape Cod, but the one area I really want to get to is the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  I don't know if I'm ready to give up on long distance mc travel.  I'm gonna get to working hard with the physical therapy and see what happens.
