    Nice thing about no service and being solo, you can take the time to actually relax. Sound of the wind, rad scenery, no distractions, bit of reading/research and a few cold beers was exactly what I needed. Felt good to be in my element. As the sun set, the wind finally died down...

    It sure does. It's behind the license plate. 30-40k on tires? Not sure. I'd say there's a solid 15-20K left of them before they're down to the wear bars.
