Starting out on our adventure. Joshua on his 2000 Yamaha VStar something or other; Shelley on her 97 Vulcan 800; and myself pulling our trailer on my '03 XII.
Joshua on I10 heading west. He is on his way to Yosemite (west edge) to some Music festival. He had us buy this trailer that a guy in California built. It has an actual whiskey barrel made into a cargo storage unit.

Passing my son on I10 first day out.
Rode across the Golden Gate Bridge and stopped on the north end. That's San Francisco behind us. On to Santa Rosa for the night.
The bikes posing for a sun set shot of the Pacific ocean on the Northern California coast north of Eureka, CA. With the wind and cold air we never took off our gear. We moved on and stayed the night in Brookings, OR. They were having an annual parade (Memorial Day weekend) and we got stuck for about 20 minutes before we were able to get on our way (when a cop waves you off the road, you get off).
Returning home. Stopping as the sun was going down to add more clothing. Changing was a regular event as temps on the trip ranged from low 50's to over 102F.
Yes we made it home safe. Only casualty was Shelley's speedometer stopped working the first day out. She just followed me. Turns out the coupler in the rear axle bent or something (just ordered the parts. I already had acquired a new cable and replaced it anyway (issue where it went into the hub), but that wasn't the problem.
Heading out for Colorado for 10 days (work related) and will staying with Shelley's sister. We will see our Grandsons in NM on the way back. Hope the parts come in so I can repair her bike or we will have to take the cage (at least it has AC).
