1. Bob looks back at his amigos (2nd or 3rd to last day on the trail)
He made it, although he isn't quite sure when he reached Wyoming because there was no "Welcome to Wyoming" sign.
By the time he reached Flagg ranch, the bike was down to 2 gears.
Sunday September 7, at the car rental place:
"The bike is in the car and it's time to leave, what mixed emotions I feel right now. I miss my family but I'm leaving behind a sense of belonging to the outdoors that I've never really felt before.
In spite or perhaps because of the many challenges it's been a wonderful adventure, I'm truly grateful to you and the many delightful people I've met along the way.
I hope that something special about this journey remains with for as long as I live.
See you soon, love Bob".
