Day 16: Centrailia and Home

11/30/2014

Comments

 
Final mileage: 5328

I think I fell in love with I-81 today. Look what we found:


This bridge is close to I-81/I-83 intersection:


We got to Centrailia, and realized we hadn't done enough research to find the iconic photos. But the town aint that big, and soon we find this:



Which leads to this steaming hole!


Then back to the main road for another 400 yards, you see the diversion to the old road:








Centrailia has that Armageddon feeling to it. It's really creepy in its' own sort of way.

Tires did really well:

TKC80-21 inch on the HP2 (looks even better than the F650 does, despite the bigger Hippo bike weight, but the lugs are a bit closer to each other)


TKC80-19 inch on the F650Twin:


Both rear Heidenaus' are ready to rock for another 6K miles... They unfortunately now have the center stripe on the 140s, as well as the 150s.





I'll keep this RR open for a bit longer. Need to gather my final thoughts, and "best of" photos before button up.

Thanks for the ride!
