Headed home Day 14

 On wednesday August 16 it was time to point my Harley east and start to head for home. It looks to be about 1300 miles back to home base just outside Hayward WI. Erik and I got up packed the bikes, had a quick breakfast at Taco Bell, gassed up and hit the road. We ended up doing 500 miles today ending up in Gillette WY. We went a little farther than planned but needed to in order to find a room. We left Utah and went into Colorado a ways before turning north and headed up the center of Wyoming. This route showed us alot of high plains desert and irrigated fields and not many residents. We crossed the continental divide 4 times on our route through Wyoming. It was interesting to see some huge fields of corn just south of Casper WY. Don't know if it was sweet corn or field corn for feed. There were many points of interest along our route. We only stopped for a few. We also noticed that there is alot of oil and gas production along the route we took. Also saw some drill rigs drilling some new wells.

Had to get a picture of the Utah sign before leaving the state.

Typical scenery in this part of northwest Colorado.

An interesting piece of history in Colorado.

There is an abundance of history in this part of the country.

More strange rock upthrusts in Wyoming.

Hells Gate and Martins cove along WY hwy 220.

Another reservoir that has many uses.

Two very cool rocks formations along WY hwy 259.

Tomorrow we head towards the Black Hills and may spend a day there. We will decide when we check the weather in the morning.
