Thanks guys. That was a huge bucket list item for me as well as my brother. Awesome way to see the back country especially if you enjoy riding offroad. I made it to my nephew's in Seattle. I'll be flying home early next week and leaving the bike in storage here. I'll either ship it or fly back and ride it home on pavement.

In any case, I need to get home and take care of a few things and rest!

Made it home from Seattle via Alaska Air and my truck from South Carolina to the 321 yesterday. Have to start making calls and getting estimates to ship the bike home. If I can't find a reasonable price, I'll fly back out in 6 weeks when it cools down a bit and ride it home via pavement. That'll probably take about 8 to 10 days.

I hope Utah was great for you! Glad you made it safe.
