Heading for the barn

I had a real nice visit with Bonnie and Jeff. Their son Charlie, his wife Jamie and their daughter Maddy came up from Denver for the evening and we had a nice visit. Sunday morning goodbyes were said and I was on the road by 7:00 am.under blue skies and crisp temperatures. Riding through Colorado to get home sure beats my other trips where I ended up traveling on I-40 across the Great Plains. I stopped for gas in Flagstaff and up rolled my neighbor Duane who had been watching my movement on the SPOT page and decided to catch me part way home and ride the last few miles with me. I thought that was a nice way to welcome me back.

After 13 hours and 675 miles I parked in my garage and was met by Janet with smiles and a big hug. Now I have to get back into the grind of daily retirement projects at home, at least until the next trip.

The total miles for the trip was 6,745 and I was gone 25 days.
 

Thanks for following along.
