We spent our last night on the road in Hays Kansas. We had stayed here on our way as we began our journey. It was here that we made our last Harley stop at Doerfler's Harley Davidson dealership. We had been there several years ago. On Saturday, 29 August we began our trip to Rogers Arkansas. It was here in Rogers that we said goodbye to Phillip, took our traditional photograph and headed home on Sunday, August 30. We arrived in Rogers about three days early and just in time for Cindy's birthday. In summarizing our trip I would have to say that this was the best one yet. It was not so much the places that we stopped and saw as much as it was the scenery we saw as we traveled through the various states to the West Coast. This was truly about the ride ( a total of 6490 miles ) and not the destination. We really only had one day of rain and the temperatures were mild enough throughout the trip show that we were comfortable. We all agreed that at Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainier were two of the premier places that we visited on our journey. The ride and the fellowship will always be the part of the journey that brings us back year after year for another adventure, A special thanks to our wives for allowing us this privilege. Y'all are the best! (Sorry this last post is so late.) ROM
