Here I stand victorious after completing my journey across these great United States. Thanks Andy for taking this picture for me.
I will be posting my full trip costs and lessons learned for future travelers. Also hopefully within a few weeks I will have completed a video of the entire trip. Please stay tuned.

I made it back home and now the trip is officially over at 7025 miles. More details to come

Wow the area around Yokum, WV is so gorgeous! Definitely shot WV to the top 5 places I've seen.

West VA decided to give me a going away party by dumping massive amounts of rain on my head like a gatorade celebration :)

In West Virginia now. The drive through Kentucky was nothing but fog. And now it's cloudy

I cant believe this is it. The last 300miles of the trip. Seems like I just got started.

Natural Bridge in Kentucky..so not worth the 100 mile detour but its one more check on the list

Cave Run Lake, KY

I just want to keep riding now that the trip is nearing its end. There's just always something worth seeing around the corner

I had 2 pieces of fried chicken and a bowl of "Donnies Famous Chili", which was basically spaghetti with beans

Sulphur, Indiana...I love little old gas stations like this one. With the cute old couple in the window.

Got a late morning start. Just couldnt pull myself out of bed. Next stop Morehead, KY

Got a late morning start. Just couldnt pull myself out of bed. Next stop Morehead, KY

Went 452 miles and landed at Okawville, IL in a Super 8 for the night. Tomorrow headed for Morehead,KY and Daniel Boone NF

Cant stop thinking about the great time I had last night visiting with the Family. Thanks everyone for coming out :)

stopping for a quick lunch and a gas station in some random town in Missouri

I think Kansas was mad after all those things I said. So it gave me this perfect sunrise to ride and enjoy.

The march continues East. Next stop is outside St Louis.

Kyler examining Uncle Davy's big catch

Uncle Charley's Angus cattle...cant wait to have these for dinner some day

Uncle Davy, Uncle Charley, and Dad out catching moss and weeds haha

The two brothers cicada hunting...the deaf leading the blind ;)

Whew! Made it to Uncle Charley's in Dwight, KS. Now time to relax :)

Luckly the parents are along for the ride from Denver to Dwight, KS..Mom making me ice packs for my jacket ;)

Hays, KS...might as well be called Haiti, KS with the freakin heat!

White-knuckle riding= 103degrees temp, 40-60MPH constant gusts, and 45degree lean into the wind to stay upright..SUCKS!!

If I can think of one place that would be like Hell its the area between Denver and Kansas City.

On the way to Dwight, KS from Denver...this is the worst drive. I will never do this ride again.

Bought a new awesome camp chair at REI. So desperately needed after sitting on the ground getting my butt wet. Pics to come

What perfect weather we are having in Denver...I love it especially after riding through the cold rain all day yesterday.

Woke up to my niece at 6am already dressed and ready for school...but school didnt start til 12pm ;) So cute though

Made it to Denver at 9PM last night. Felt great to get off that bike.

Neither hot nor cold nor rain nor hail kept me from my 5000 mile mark

Getting pounded with rain coming through the Rocky Mountains heading to Denver.

Lost my images of Mesa Verde...will post them later

Mesa Verde NP was amazing. Now riding back to Denver.

Time to get back on the bike and head down to Cortez, CO to visit Mesa Verde National Park

Double Arch...best one inside the park and highly underrated.

Landscape Arch inside Arches NP

Arches National Park in Utah was amazing. Definitely worth the trip down.

This dry heat turns your nose into a booger factory hahaha :)

Mid-day naps are now becoming a regular thing...I'm going to miss them when this is finished

On the way to Salt Lake City, UT. Cant wait to meet up with my friend Cole tonight.

Shoshone Falls outside Twin Falls,ID

Twin Falls, ID canyon outside of town

Pimpin aint easy when your at a Motel 6...but it saved $20 ;)

Lava flow fields in Idaho? Weird but pretty cool.

I just want to thank BMW for making heated handgrips, otherwise I wouldnt be able to feel the palms of my hands

That was the coldest night I have ever spent. Its bad when you resort to snuggling with a towel

My tent is about to cave in from the wind and rain.

Send a prayer in for me. The weather has turned. Its dropped about 20degrees and hasnt stopped raining. Please warm up!

Heading to the Sawtooth Mountains..and then camping at Stanley Lake

I continue to be amazed. This lady approached me and gave me a hug and $20 to go get a steak dinner.

I experienced the biggest T-storm ever in a tent last night. It was a little scary at times with lightning crashing beside me

Headed to Lowman, ID. This is my campsite right on the river in Mountain View campground.

Elk City general store that served me the best double cheese burger EVER

Welcome to Elk City, ID...absolutely nothing here but a cafe and the road ends

Met the coolest group of guys in Elk City. They have ridden all over the world. We talked all night exchanging stories

Sorry I have been out of touch. I have been in the canyons and rivers of Idaho. From Elk City to Stanley, ID.

Idaho is more than potatoes. On the road to Elk City.

Check out this thing. Lewiston small dog. Like a big pigs in a blanket.

Just passed a road that needs to be on the next "Top Gear" show for best roads to drive on. Located in Lewiston, ID

Just left Spokane heading to Mount Idaho. Beautiful weather for a ride. Makes you happy to be on the road

All pretty and ready for a hot date ;)

Just gave my baby her first bath since the trip started :)

Made it to Spokane, WA...now what?

I'm going to move to Paradise, MT on the border of the Lolo National Forest. Its perfect!

Hot Springs, MT. Nothing here but warm water and hicks.

On the road to Spokane, WA. Just stopped in Kellog Idaho.

View from my new campsite at Fish Creek in Glacier NP.

Wrecked my bike and broke the left side case. Im ok but now it wont retract because the bracket is bent inside.

Eating huckleberries freshly picked right here in Glacier NP. They taste like really tart blueberries

Why didnt I bring my fly rod?! It's free fishing in Glacier NP

I about didnt make it last night I was so cold. One more night here and hopefully it wont dip that low again.

I cant say this enough. People are good. I was just given a bundle of wood cause my fire was going out on this cold night.

Thought I lost this photo. Me standing in Wind River Canyon, WY. Amazing ride.

Another feast for dinner. A cliff bar and a watermelon sucker. Oh I live too lavish sometimes.

Aaahhh there's nothing like a sink shower to refresh yourself haha
