Yes, you feel very strongly against seeing Harley pictures at the end of his Adventure thread. Pretty easy to understand boss. If you'd like to be condescending to this post too please feel free to send me a PM.
SirwillySC, I'll find you on your other social media. Excited to see your next adventure.

[MENTION=50203]blakjack23[/MENTION] you may not like it, but 1engineer only see's the world in black and white, like most engineers.
That's why he's such a great moderator.

The other thing [MENTION=66316]1engineer[/MENTION] mentioned earlier is that after the summary the post will be moved away from being a sticky. At that point [MENTION=95539]SIRWILLYSC[/MENTION] can post whatever he wants within reason just like the other build and adventure threads. It just doesn't need to be front and center any more.

Exactly.
In addition I will be asking others out there who are getting ready to take a trip to take this thread's place in the sticky section.

Kudos to you [MENTION=95539]SIRWILLYSC[/MENTION] for taking this trip and sharing. Traveling solo is definitely an interesting experience. :nicethread:

DAY 30
Today I traveled through the valley of the Gods at sunrise which was awesome. From there I went to Albuquerque for a Toyota dealer and a hotel. I found a great dealer who worked me right in and only took about an hr. All American Toyota was the name I believe they were awesome. I spent some time talking with a women in the lobby from the area and she told me about a spot to check out for off roading and swimming. I will check those out tomorrow. I'm getting ever so anxious to get home. I miss my ol'lady and the dogs terribly. I only have 1900 more miles!!! That's not alot when you've already done almost 10k. I found the Best Western Airport Inn and pains $70 for a room, upon arriving I asked if o could upgrade to a Jacuzzi suite for only 20 bucks the guy said only 10 so guess what I got? This place is actually really nice. Of all the hotels I have stayed in, ever, this is probably one of the nicer ones. Everything is very clean, pool and Jacuzzi outside is nice and the have free snacks at 5. After I get out this hot tub, the outside one, I plan to wash my clothes, find a cool bar to go to, and then get some really good rest. Hopefully I will be much rested to make as much time and miles as possible tomorrow. I plan to be home Saturday hopefully. 1800 moles, at 60mph, 10hrs a day is 3.1 or 3.3 so I'm pushing it, that's OK cause that's my style!! Here are the pics from this am and the drive here.
I'm glad to see the Navajo believe the same as I do!
Till tomorrow, PEACE.

From there I was off!!! I traveled through what I think to be some of the prettiest scenery I have ever seen or could ever imagine!!
I have wanted to see the West for a LONG time but I really don't think you can compare to the Southeast at Spring time!!
[/QUOTE]
I have really enjoyed following this thread which took you to places very familiar to me. I am curious if the above comment you made on Day 2 still applies?

You know it's funny you ask because I was thinking about that just yesterday. I have put some thought into it and I have determined that each place has its very own unique beauty. The West is very beautiful.

Glad to see you made it through my neck of the woods. I'm impressed with your American Toyota service time.... I can schedule an oil change a week in advance and still sit down there for two hours!! lol. You didn't have a chance to check out the Rio Puerco Trails west of ABQ did you? There are TONS of trails and obstacles to play on out there, and only about 20 minutes from my house!

Unfortunately I'm stuck at work all day today, but if you're not far away it might be worth making the trip. And, if you start here: https://goo.gl/maps/vkyFUuvEnHP2 you can take the Rio Puerco all the way south and connect with I-40.

DAY 31
Not really a whole lot to report today as I feel like I'm stuck in repeat!! Drive, find place to drink, find place to sleep, repeat, you know Everyday life!! So I left ABQ and headed to a barber shop since my head was a straight catastrophe, classic barbershop hooked me up with a clean cut and nowbill have to fight the women off guaranteed!! From there I headed east and after driving for like 2hrs I realized I forgot to take a pic of the breaking bad house for Kristi. This was the only thing, other than bring home a rock, she asked and I failed. I was so pissed at myself I can't explain, and the main reason was because I forget what seems like simple stuff all the time! So what did I do? I sent Kristi a pic of the breaking bad house!!!
LMAO!!!
I headed to rte 66 and even slowed down to hear America the great outside ABQ, I couldn't really make it out but knew it was something!! I ventured on to rte66 every time I saw a sign and stopped at the del for food which was good. After traveling some more I came to two of my stops the Cadillac Ranch
I found some white spray paint that I tried to paint my guy on one if the cars only to find the paint was almost out
From there I went to the spot that ibhad been saving my Steak taste for the whole trip
No I didn't try the 72oz Steak there is no way
I did have this though.
It was awesome. By the way they have one of these in the store
And evidently they are really common around here so I will show my respect to them by giving them space and letting them live if I see one. I feel everyone could do the same thing.
I looked up BLM land to find that there is only one spot in TX and it's used to produce helium for profit and closed to public. I then went to a handy site I wish that I would have found earlier called freecamps or something around that nature, just Google free camps around me and it show up. I found that I could stelth camp at the travel center in Amarillo. I pulled in to check the spot out and it seems str8 so I rearranged the truck drank my last beers and decided to go to the local Buffalo Wild Wings since it was across the street so I could watch some TV and get tired. Tomorrow I plan on hauling ass and making up as much time as possible to get home. Here are some pics from today's travels.
Del's serves both Mexican and American food, I felt strange ordering Mexican from a place like this but it was pretty good
By the way this is the worst rap song ever my god!! Why must they play it over and over??
Almost home
All flat
