Latest Trip Planning

So, my latest idea is to bee-line for SF, so I can hang out in SF for a few days before wandering down to the LA basin.

This map
shows roughly how I plan to get to SF. I've actually driven this route at twice already, but always from West to East. This will be the first time I've driven this route from East to West.

(It looks like the first time I did this trip was 5 years ago in 2011. Then, 4 years ago, in 2012, I drove my motorcycle back out to CA on my NXNW expedition. The 2nd time I drove back east across Nevada was 3 years ago in 2013.

I met my precious daughter for dinner tonight down in Morrison. She flies out in the morning heading to New Mexico, and I've decided to leave early Sunday morning on my drive across the Great American Desert.

Lots of things have changed my route and plans already. The contracting company shorted me a week on my time off, and the tire we ordered for the KTM was shipped to the wrong location. So, I'm going to be riding on a street tire, instead of an enduro tire. Not a big deal, really, but the KTM won't be ready until 3:00 p.m. tomorrow. And the drunken barn party starts at 2:00 p.m., so I think that I'll just get up and leave crazy early Sunday morning.

This is what I have tentatively planned for Day 1.

The theme song to this trip is Kevin Morby - Parade.

Also, if you don't get why I'm doing this trip, you really need to watch the 2nd season of Bojack Horseman.
