Thanks. Just filling up the auxiliary fuel bladder for a 159 mile stretch from Boise , OK through New Mexico to Trinidad, CO. Nothing in between, so I should have a good update with our camp spot tonight. We won't make the 159 miles today most likely.

Watch out for the sand burrs around Trinidad, they're bad down there.

New rear tire going on in Trinidad, CO. Down to wear indicators after 2,700 miles and needed fresh knobbies for the Rocky Mountain passes and deserts we cross to Oregon. Topar Racing in Trinidad is happy to help out TAT riders.

Made Marshall and Engineer Pass and I am on the Utah border headed for Moab. Had some trouble coming out of Engineering Pass due to bad maps and spent the night at about 10000ft in a meadow. I'll try to get and update video out tonight sometime.

I am in Nevada getting close to Oregon. Just been some hot and hard going and not had good service with longer runs in the desert. Will try again today or tomorrow. Thanks for checking.
