Quick drive. Filled up in Missouri with gas where it is cheaper. Nice old man that saved it from the crusher.

We are looking to see some pics from your new locale. Maybe a bicycle ride report pending another dualsport.

So far have not ridden the bike. Tomorrow I am to travel to Wichita for an event with my new job. OT

I have been taking pictures, but limited internet access has prolonged uploading them.

Unfortunately, the twister image is all too familiar in Alberta. Around 100 touch down every year, but most of them are in remote areas. Only two have been disastrous.

The wind frequently blows strongly across the Snake River Plain. :roll: However, we never have any tornadoes around here.

Nevertheless, the Earth's crust is thinnest at Yellowstone National Park, which is located very close to me. Check out the possible catastrophe which might happen. 8O
