    Oh, yes, Annie was thrilled when we walked through the door! :D That said, she did great while we were gone with her new dog sitter. The dog sitter I've had for 12 years is moving to Washington in a couple of weeks. We did a "trial run" overnighter with the new dog sitter a couple of weeks before heading to Sturgis which made us all (including Annie!) feel much more comfortable. Our new gal works remotely via computer so she could spend most of the day with Annie. It's always nice to know that someone is also sitting our house in addition to our dog, too. Thanks for the nice comment re. the thread, Vulpes. :) Glad you enjoyed it.

    You're welcome, Cyborgbot! Get out on that bike and do a trip--life's too short to simply think about it! ;) What's the thread you referenced? I'd like to check that one out.

    Thanks, Joe! The stories nearly wrote themselves and there were so many great photo ops. I took all those pics with my iPhone. I was thinking I should have brought what I call my "big daddy camera" ( a nice Canon DSLR) with me but didn't want to haul it around for that many days and miles. Shoulda, woulda, coulda.... Maybe I'll take the Canon to Vegas!

    Thanks, Bikerman! You are so right about having some fantastic memories. I I really enjoyed sharing my trip with you guys. In a way it made me notice some things even more knowing that I wanted to share the experience with the forum. Vegas Bike Fest, here we come! :D

    Thanks, Dartplayer! I appreciate your feedback. Yes, back to reality--part of which is planning our next adventure! And I really do enjoy the planning and the anticipation as well as the trips themselves. Speaking of "well documented with facts", that was fun for me. I learned some new things about places on our trip, too. :)

    I’m not sure where the posts properly start, but around here in the ‘what have you done in ur triumph’ thread.

    https://www.thetriumphforum.com/threads/what-you-been-doing-with-your-triumph-today.219/page-592

    I think for epic journeys it worth startling a dedicated thread as you have to flick through all our general musings before finding the next post if it melds with another thread. Still - there’s some great photos from along the way and worth looking at. Well done @capt!

    I may just take you up on that offer to go there for a forum meet up, DD! :) Thanks for your positive feedback and comments on my trip writeup. I truly enjoyed sharing our adventures with words and pictures. The only thing that would have been better is if you'd all been on the ride and trip with me! :grinning:

    I don't think you could get much better than the pictures you posted they are fantastic. And your story well it was so well told I felt I was there. You are amazing. And your group is great.

    I didn't pick up on this thread, until yesterday, and just finished reading it. It was SO enjoyable. Thank you for taking the time and effort to write it, Sandi. Much appreciated.
