Second Place is the First Loser

Ran through little town called "Mountain Home", Idaho this morning, and I remember it from the last time I came across Idaho, about 3 years ago, when I ran out of gas in the Owyhee Desert of Idaho. This, to me, is the most fun part of traveling. Running back over the same tracks you made when you were younger another crazy adventure to nowhere. I'm sort of retracing my steps, perpetually wandering across this lonely planet, rolling around with other lost souls. So crazy fun there aren't words.

Right now, I'm shooing flies off my food in a restaurant in Perry, Utah. Made it 300 miles, from Boise, Idaho to Perry, Utah by 1:30 p.m. I'm taking mostly interstates on the way home at this point, only because I've been on the road so long I'm actually ready to wrap this trip up. I'd like to be able to say "I drove to the Arctic Ocean and back on a KTM 990 Adventure", but somehow, there's still about 550 miles between me and my double-wide. See if we can't get something done about that today. 2nd place is the first loser.


This is the route I plan on taking to get home.
