Back in Peoria.
We made it back to Peoria safe and sound yesterday evening around 6pm .
We had stopped in Davenport for our last gas up and water stop - when you are in the wind on a 80+ degree day, you need a lot of water.
When we got back on the road, we hooked up with a "bird dog", that is to say a driver that passed us doing well over the posted speed limit.
This allows us to use that driver as a bird-dog, we let him get a 1/4 mile in front of our group and then tag along watching for his brake lights if he sniffs out a police officer sitting alongside the road.
We were able to make excellent time on the final leg in Illinois. Illinois was the only state we rode in where the speed limit was 65 - all of the rest were 70 or 75 mph.
I am getting the pictures that I took with my Nikon ready for the web - the scenery is beautiful but the camera is very dirty and there are a lot of specs of dirt visible in any shots that have lots of sky on them.
I showed over 5100 miles (8200 Kilometers) total in the 11 day trip. This one was more grueling than I suspected, due mostly to the twisty mountain roads most of the way, which require a lot more attention. We also saw a large variation in temperatures - colder in the mountains and hot and humid in the plains.

Kai/Kershaw tour in the books.
Awesome time. Jim and the folks at Kai rolled out the red carpet for us. I can report that the 777 is being made and progressing. There is an unbelievable team of artists working on the project.
