Day 28 - Missoula, MT

We heard from Don last night. Walt sent his cell phone with Don so he'd have some way to keep in touch in case of a problem. He called last night to say he was safely stopped for the night near Boise, Idaho. He said he hit a lot of rain but it was OK.

We're off to the dealer soon to see what will happen today.....

UPDATE: The dealer found that I have a bad radiator fan. We decided to wait another day here to get that part sent in and it should be replaced tomorrow. This part explains part of the overheating problem I was having. I have also removed the fork gaiters and radiator guard hoping that this will improve the airflow when moving. This returns the bike to a stock condition and the dealer didn't find any other problems. So, we should be able to ride with confidence tomorrow.

ANOTHER UPDATE: I got a phone call from Don saying he was safely in Topaz for the night. He gave us an update on road conditions for the route he took.

Walt and I have made these tentative plans for getting home:
Day 29 Missoula, MT to Kennewick, WA
Day 30 Kennewick, WA to Klamath Falls, OR
Day 31 Klamath Falls, OR to Sunnyvale, CA

To Tommy from Sunriver, Walt says thanks for the suggestions on the brew pubs! We can count on you to get critical information to us!
