Thanks again everyone.
I'm going to wash the bike shortly.
Jeff aka Augie on ADV is mailing me a loaner 478 and Steve sent me the GPX files.
I hope to be able to load them but right now the issue is I have to find someone that has Map Source.
If not I can try to limp back using the printed route data and the GPS.

Awesome achievement Gwen! It was really cool to watch your track across the US.

Sorry about the GPS, that sucks, karma will get them. Scott mentioned you got a screenshot right at the end. So what was the final time, mileage, fuel etc. Any data points you can post?

The women in my household tell me that La Push is where the Twilight Vampire stories are set, so watch out for cute, pale young men.

Best of luck on your safe return!

So is she trying to do the return thing in 72 hours, or just heading back at a more sane pace?

I can't believe she is doing all this on the OEM seat!

I think she's going for it! If she does it, she will be the first person to do it...

Drake is holding me captive at the cabin and saying things like "Beer me" and "You call yourself a K-bike wrench"

OK... Listen up all... I see that Gwen is on her way back into LaPush ( or whatever the name of that village is ) .. SO she is going to do the "Grand Ride" again in reverse !! When does it begin..anyone know ??

One of her ADV friends from MASS said that he might ride the last leg ( Mass 95 to Eastport ) with her but now cannot... because she cannot make Eastport early enough on Friday, I also cannot make it there to greet her... so how the HECK is this ride to be documented as official ????

Questions.....??

Best regards all... ride safe....// Ernie in NH

Hi Drikko....

No I dont think so,,, One of her ADV friends was going to send her a GPS for her use, but the TRACKER I believe is a totally separate unit which simply pulses every few minutes to the orbital GPS system and then on to us ! Her friend Augie in Massachusetts told me that she would most likely arrive in Eastport very late Friday evening ( ie: potential very early Saturday morning )...which at this time I dont see how its possible !

Regards... ride safe.....// Ernie in NH

Hello all Shogarino Trackers...

OK... just got a note from Jeff Augustine (ADV) that Gwen is off and riding back to Eastport with a Tiger in The Tank !! He estimates her arrival in Eastport at 10:00 am on Saturday morning.. As fate would have it, I CANT be there when she gets back either due to a long standing appointment ! Best I can do is cheer her on... how about you ??

Best regards....// Ernie in NH

Good morning Trackers !!

Well its just after 6 a.m EDT and Gwen is nearing St. Ives Montana on I-90.
St. Ives I know quite well after having my first experience with a bear in my camp site! It must be a lonely stretch for her however at her time ( 3 a.m ) its quite desolate out there!... just you and the trucks !

Ride safe everyone.....// Ernie in NH

G'morning Drikko...

The I-90 and I-94 Split takes place in Billings Montana, we'll see then
which route she chooses. IMO 90 is a better route
if any mechanical problems should occur. Either
way is LONG and straight!!
