Day 10  7-28-25.  Kevin Qualmann and I got started on our trip back into the states at 6:50 and 56°.

Super easy border crossing.  This was to make up for by a deer 45 minutes into our day deciding to run me over.  Rang his bell but he got up and ran away.  The bike faired really well.  A bent light bracket and a cracked side panel so minor I won’t fix it.  We were travelling at 45 when he appeared.  No time to avoid the hit.  He did turn and that avoided a 90° run into me.  Bike stayed up and I had no injuries.  Could have been worse.

We then drove through the Northern Cascades National Park.  Nice roads and sights. 

With Washington, this completes 49 states ridden in on my R1250RT

















After that miles and miles of wheat fields and low 90’s.

Our arrival to Lewiston, ID was greeted with 101° heat.

  Day 13   7-31-25.   Last night was did not go as planned.   A taxi ride to the ER due to left lower abdomen pain.   CT showed a 6mm kidney stone.   Some good hospital meds killed the pain.   I was there about 3 hours and was sent on my merry way. Kevin Qualmann and I got a late start of 8am and 60°.   We had an easy 344 miles in 6.5 hours.   Lots of open areas were driven through with the final ride down Spearfish Canyon.   This is the start of the Sturgis motorcycle rally, so a lot of loud bikes were here. I had no discomfort at all from last nights ordeal.   So tomorrow is on to Sioux Falls and a stop to see Chad Gillen.

  Day 3. 7-22-25 with Kevin Qualmann . Started out at 7am and 64°. Travelled 460 miles today in 10 hours. Saw a high of 74° briefly. Had overcast about 2/3 of the way then on and off light rain. The rail cars in the pictures went on for 19 miles. They were split at field entrances and roads. One section of bad road construction. At times just wet dirt. Rain mode is your friend. Stopped at a couple of museums. Hoping tomorrow is a good day to see Glacier National Park. Kevin and Kevin had to stop in Kevin, MT.
