Lyman turned out to unrealistic due to a slightly late start, but Montpelier ID is a good chunk of the way and very nice. Yes Jerry, will be on 191 tomorrow.

Got message from Frank...he made it to just west of Pendleton, OR as of 8:45 pm Sunday evening...he rode until dark it seems...or just before.  Always seems to be something causing delays  on long trips, or is it just my issues? ;) ;D
Safe ride guys, enjoy the scenery and take some photos to jog your memories in the future...
Great photos so far. 
Don, safe ride Home...hope you are alright or recover quickly.

Hey I am in Mountain Home Idaho, past Boise,  in 24 hrs.
Who HOO.....looks like I can post, had 30 aborted post in the last day !
42 degrees or less last night I put on all my gear, tried to sleep on rest area benches might have got an hour or two. At 5:15 it was getting light and colder, so I decided to ride the 30 miles to a coffeeshop, arriving just before sunup.
 I always do that when I finally escape to go on an epic rider nobody would have enjoyed that part.
Should be well below SLC tonite, need to check a map.... no GPS or map with me.

It works, I worry a bit... had it running under a day when  I left  carbs were  horrid, drained and wiped the bowls, put them back on...

Hah! You're insane! 42 degrees and trying to sleep on a rest stop bench? I thought tent camping was roughing it. It was 110 degrees here in Lake Havasu  yesterday and probably still in the high nineties when I turned in for the night (actually morning if you want to split hairs) but a comfy 60 degrees with the hotel a.c. cranked. Woke up with a bloody nose from getting blasted with dry air all day yesterday.  Should be meeting up with Mooshie around 4 in Flagstaff, a nice leisurely 200 mile day after 2 days of rising all day long. See y'all soon. Keep the rubber side down and most of the oil on the inside, y'all.
So much to do, so little time.

No room for a tent and sleeping bag? Shouldn't take too much room.

I'm part of that history between buying booze there underage and spending a different night in the Wickliffe Crossbar Hotel. I was local 50 years ago.

Yeah but now I have no power to the 2/3 coil. The yellow wire from the wiring harness has no power. I assume it should?
