Thanks for reading.
No.... Thank you for putting one heck of a road trip into print. I know I have been unusually quiet through your entire thread, but I really believed that anything I might have to add would really be nothing more than "noise" compared to how eloquently you have put things. I was with you through a good portion of this trip and even while experiencing all these things with you, I never saw or remembered even a fourth of what you did. My friend, my riding partner...my brother... many, many thanks. 
Shawn

Mitch, you've just completed one great ride and one great tale for posterity. Later, when you and Masako have your little ones, and you can't fathom leaving the family for two weeks, you'll be able to relive the journey, rekindle old memories, revive and review old thoughts, because you've taken the time to put it to paper.
Thank you for taking us along on your journey, both the one outside and the one inside. You're a wonderful storyteller and, as Shawn already knows, a great traveling companion.
See you again in a couple of years. And yes, a trailer for the long straight parts is perfectly fine. I believe you have new friends in Colorado now where you can possibly leave it.

Epic, Mitch--a real travelogue! This is not just a ride tale, it's a real learning experience. Thanks for this gift. By the way-- Quote:
Hula. Moving my hips in a circular motion loosens up my spine and wakes up the muscles in my lower back.
This sounds like it could also be a way to earn a little extra cash along the way.

I was actually worried about his safety should he try that in front of a Kenworth driver. 
I like your idea better, Les. Although I'll take your word for it that there's money involved.

Mitch - thanks for taking setting aside a significant amount of your free time to write this story. You have an excellent writing style and an unusual recollection of details that are a month or more in the past.
