Hi, Uncle.
We had a little of everything on this trip. Rain (mostly in Colorado in the environs of Leadville, Vail, Steamboat Springs and Glenwood Canyon), a bit of light hail, thunderstorms etc. We were pretty well prepared for most any weather conditions rain or shine except tornadoes etc.
A buddy of mine had a kidney stone attack and I had to get him to a clinic in Paonia, CO. Luckily, what started out pretty scarily early that day ended pretty well, considering.
Then of course our mount lost the throttle cable in Montana necessitating a tow and effectively ending the motorcycle portion of our journey after a week. The rental company did right and refunded the money which allowed us to continue in (yuck) a car, but we did get to some pretty cool venues in that manner though it wasn't our first choice of mode of transportation.
Enjoyed visiting sites like the Little Bighorn Battlefield, Ft. Laramie, the Fetterman Battle Trail, and of course made my way through the Tetons, Yellowstone and Rocky Mtn. National Park as well.
All I can reiterate on my return to Florida is that it is WAY too flat (and humid). Oh well, a little over three more years and we'll change that.
