Some pics have captions. I did not take much since it rained ALL day Saturday, and POURED 4" that night. My tent was full and my gear was soaked. I split the last room at a bed and breakfast with another rider.

547 miles round trip and I feel fine. I was on the bike other than lunch and short breaks from 6am to 6:45 pm!! Bike still got 50 mpg loaded, and riding gravel all day at 60mph. BTW it's not for sale anymore. Love it even though it's a PIG.
I went down HARD on a level B road and thankfully my head took the brunt of the fall. Bike never skipped a beat. Going to replace the helmet or send it in to get checked to see if it's okay to keep using. It's my dual sport helmet, but a SHOEI and those are not super cheap to toss on the shelf as a memory.
Me someplace, somewhere in NE Iowa or SW Wisconsin.
Pretty up here too

That looked like a lot of fun. That area is beautiful. I would like to spend more time riding around there.

Re: Dual Sport ride in Soutwest Wisconsin!
I know it's a haul (especially from Ft. Scott), but if you are ever up here to ride, hit me up. I am pretty familiar with that area as well as around Cedar Rapids, IA. Parents have a cabin in Lansing, IA I can use anytime also.
It is beautiful up there! Love being back home
