Jeff Lee: the Connoisseur of Dirt Roads
😊
Too bad they weren’t celebrating on the fourth of February. It would’ve been perfect alliteration.
10 months agoYou can play it down but you’re definitely a badass in my book.

10 months agoAs you said, "OMG." I might have said, "WTF."
But, as a reader, I compliment you on such an adventurous ride.
WinniCargo. (I made that name up the second I saw this picture.)

10 months agoHi Rich,
My preference is for very lightly traveled roads, but the last few days it didn't work out, and I rode on the shoulder of I-80 for a bunch of miles!
There just aren't enough roads through this part of Wyoming. If I'd planned this more, I could have avoided I-80 yesterday and today, but I didn't.
I’ve been following the routing with interest, too. Especially the past couple of days. I’ve never wanted to do a coast-to-coast made up of long days on busy highways. But this route is turning into something I’d like to do someday. I love the dirt/gravel roads!
10 months agoMy route is a north-south border to border route. The only section we would overlap is the Little America to Green River portion. Since you have already moved on east of Green River, I don't think my maps will be helpful, UNLESS you had opted to go south through western Colorado to Dove Creek and then follow the Western Express route eastward to Pueblo - that's not a very direct route for your plan. Here's my RWGPS collection of all the maps for my planned route; https://ridewithgps.com/collections/1884555?privacy_code=fKqFi5y3jSc19AUf
10 months agoHey George,
I'd be interested in hearing more about your route. I'm basically making mine up as I go along. Maybe some of what you're planning would be useful to me (but reversing the direction?
Such a deal! You should pick up some and save it for a rainy day.
10 months agoInteresting, I paid close attention to your pics today - I have a route planned that includes the section you rode from Little America to Green River, but I will be going the other direction - I will also have to ride I-80 shoulder for 2.5 miles till I exit on highway 30.
