Thanks for the videos  

Keep them coming , I'm finally getting to see some more of the world !!  

I'm a little surprised it's rolling hills  , Big Sky country ?  
Are ya finding fuel when ya want it or did ya bring some extra ?   

I'm in Big Timber as I write this probs be staying in or around Thermopolis WY. Weather is great 65 degrees. The Savage & I are loving it.
Changed oil @ my buddy's, I should be good now till I get home. Roughly 1600 miles left on my trip.
Had to tighten up the rack I put on the back of the Savage, other than that, it's been a solid ride so far.
I've had gas whenever I needed. I'm getting about 45 mpg so I've been good. Had it on reserve a couple times but have always been close to town by that time.

Tanks for the video of your ride.
I immediately feel more involved.
A Savage in action, what more do we want.

Do we get to see a campfire?

I'm loving this. Keep posting.

I m going to my son's in Craig. He's been telling me, even there where it is so dry normally, they've been getting a lot of rain.
My Savage is barely broke in. It was a garage queen prior to me getting it & showing her some country.
It has between 5-6 K on it roughly.

On the gas front~ it was sketchy between Lander & Rawlins. It's a long haul between those two towns. I did read of a lone gas pump that takes cards in Jeffery City on Google maps.
The reviews were very current so I took the chance. Sure enough there was gas & that's it!

Jeffery City was a booming uranium mining town in the early 80's. After the 3 mile island incident Jeffery City withered away to nearly nothing. Just a smattering of houses on the wide open, inhospitable, highland plains of WY.

I'm in Pierre, SD currently. Took this video yesterday upon leaving my son's place. I just missed a whale of a hail storm in Lusk, Wy yesterday. It was 4" deep when I went thru town. Ripped the leaves off the trees all over town.
I got lucky!
Got rained on for about an hour before I got to Edgemont, SD. I just kept riding and was dry by the time I got to Hot Springs, SD. Where I spent the night.
Rode 440 miles yesterday.

Not to proud of this Conti tire I bought. Lotta wear for just a couple thousand miles

I made it home Monday & turned right around & left again yesterday to a family reunion in MS.
The trip went really well. Mostly I just bee bopped a long the highways & by-ways of the country I was riding through.
Eating at greasy spoons along the way, striking up a conversation here and there
Those air cushions are a real life saver.
Got rained on once for about an hour. Just missed a massive hail storm in Lusk, WY. There was 4" of hail stones on the ground when I rode thru.
I was none the worse for ware after the trip & neither was the Savage. It was loaded good but I didn't ask much of it.
Just cruised along the highway except for 20 miles of gravel road construction.
Rode between 75-100 miles of the interstate system; that was it.
It was my goal to take all local highways as much as I could.
As far as the Conti tire is concerned. It's no better than, say, a Kenda or something inexpensive. It'll probs need replacing later in the year.
I'm thinking 5K max out of it. All toll it has about 2700 miles on it and it's half worn out.
