Welcome back to this side of the pond

[ZLTFUL]

Tiffany arrived safe and sound in West Des Moines,

Took her down to show her one of the infamous Bridges of Madison County and then out for a bite and some conversation. It's too bad she is in such a rush to get to Chicago or I would show her around this great desolate state of mine.

Maybe she will have a day or two to stop again on her way back through. FASCINATING lady.
I will have a couple of pics to post but after I see her off in the morning.

Seras bienvenida por estas tierras !!!!!!!!

[Eagletalon]

I'm in!

Thank you again, Tiffany for letting us host you. We both enjoyed having you in our home and wanted to reiterate that you are always welcome here.

Angelica looking longingly and enviously at Thelma...


Having met the woman, knowing she has gone throughout most of the world on this particular bike is no longer as surprising but even more amazing.


Tiffany gets to see Cedar Bridge. Part of the movie, "Bridges of Madison County" was shot here and in the surrounding countryside/town of Winterset.


Caught her in the act...


Again, what an amazing and wonderful person.

In! I can't seem to find the places you will be speaking. Anybody know? Let me know if you need anything near Atlanta GA.

Stop and visit with Tiffany at BMW/Husqvarna of Countryside this Thursday evening with food and refreshments. We look forward to having you visit our dealership!

That's right guys, I've made it across from Phoenix, all 1,962 miles of road and I'm still in one piece though I've got a sore back side- mine is definitely NOT an iron butt! Thanks for all your good wishes and also the helpful hints with my tent- I'll get the pictures of it in Kansas posted up, a bit of an improvement, though I'll still be looking out for REI to replace the broken pole.

It's been a good journey, not a spot of rain anywhere, although for the first time ever in America I got pulled over by the police, in fact he was a sheriff. I talked him round, and n,o I was not speeding at the time

I had to rush to get here from Arizona so I took mostly interstate roads.
I'll be at the Autobarn, Countryside, Illinois this evening from 5.00pm onwards.

I hope to meet a few of you later, I'll be talking about my travels, showing pictures and sharing stories; come and take a look at Thelma who has now clocked up over 180,000 miles, she's enjoying Walter's TLC in the workshop.

Looking forward to meeting you tonight and hearing some tales from your travels.

Also there is an REI store very close, tell Mike or Carey to give you a loner bike or a ride there!

Hey Tiffany
Welcome back to the colonies. We met here in Lafayette a few years ago when you came and spoke at our monthly off-road club meeting. It was at the pizza joint and you were there with Bob and Phyllis C.
Perhaps you'll be around again?

So you might be passing through WA east to west on the way to Seattle. Plenty of inmates can provide interesting route suggestions and put a roof over your head. Send a PM when you head this way and have fun in the meantime.
