A few photos taken during the failed legs of the trip:
This is where I get the Atlantic water at the start of the ride, Kirby Lane in Rye, NY <chuckle>:

This was about the half- way point of the ride west when I bailed out- I got caught in the storm while fueling and moved the bike up to this overhang in front of a closed restaurant to wait it out:

The storm was kinda' nasty and it wasn't in any particular hurry to clear, the rain was heavy but what actually stopped me was the gigantic hail that I did not think I could ride through at highway speeds:

This is Chet and I at the Pacific at the start of the ride back. I know it is off center but I put the camera in my top box and wedged it against some stuff:

I am still trying to do a write- up on the failed ride home. Will post it when it is done.
