Trans Canada Rockies US
« on: September 07, 2015, 12:56:35 PM »
Howdy Brickers!
This will be a work in progress as I have a lot of photos and they are slow to load.

My trip took me from NYC to Niagara Falls, through Toronto, Thunder Bay, west across the Canadian Plains to Banff/Jasper, down to Glacier National Park, few days in Yellowstone, through the Grand Tetons, on to Bryce Canyon, Zion, and North Rim of the Grand Canyon, then back east to Monument Valley, Four Corners, and my final western sunset at 10000 feet in Mesa Verde before racing back east.

It was a pleasure to get to meet a couple Brickers in person and I'm eternally grateful for their help in keeping me on the road!

If I have to ride upside down out there, I don't want to go.

PS Love seeing your EZ-Pass out in Boondocks, Manitoba (fellow New Yorker here).

Where in NY bilday?, pm me if you want to do a ride before the weather goes cold. I just bought another 75S that I'm trying to decide whether to keep or pass along and want to put it through it's paces before I do.

Paul, what a pleasant surprise to hear that you were able to make the trip.  That last message you sent about the transmission problem you were having and how you were turning back sounded pretty depressing.

What did it turn out to be, and did you get it fixed.
