Ok finally home and got the last round of pics up. But first thanks to all the DMF'ers that offered places for me to crash. Sorry if i wasn't able to make it. There are still a lot of places i wanted to visit, but time ran out on me. Thanks to all for route advice and positive comments along the way.
And special thanks to those that i did end up staying with, thank you for opening your homes and giving me a comfy place to rest my head for the night, and food and booze.

Well i hope i inspired at least one of you to go out and make that trip or dream you've always wanted come true. Here is just an example of what the US has to offer so go out and see it. In case you missed my Asia tour go check out my blog
www.100kilometersandrunnin.wordpress.com and start from Jan 2010. I guess this is officially the end of part 2 of 3. Part 3 will be a ride through South America: Ushuaia, Argentina back to California. For now its back to the Philippines for me to kite-surf and be a beach bum for the next 7-10 months.
Until next time... Ride Fast, Take Chances.
