The complete set of pics are at http://patfreeman.org/tat/, but here are some good ones.
Illinois…
Kentucky…
Tennessee…
I didn’t have any good pictures.
Mississippi…
The sign for this road said “MISS LEVEE.” The Mississippi river is off to the right of this image.
Arkansas…
I started the TAT. The gravel turned to mud
The National Forest roads were probably the best roads.
Glad this tree wasn’t any worse. I was almost 20 miles from the nearest interseciton. I was able to get under it where my bike is.
This was probably the best road on the trip. It was the most technical road I have ever been on. Warloop Rd. Totally awesome.
Stupid nut.
A half freshly graded road. That little berm of dirt on the right was tough to cross when a car approached.
Oklahoma…
Riding with fellow TAT travelers.
A beautiful river in Oklahoma. The film on top looked delicious.
It looks like there might be an erosion problem here.
Another cattle ranch. I probably rode through hundreds of ranches in Oklahoma, New Mexico and Colorado.
The two turns in the middle of Oklahoma’s farm land. The shade was nice on this day because the temp was over 100.
New Mexico…
Colorado…
Mmmmm… Fresh rubber.
I needed it for the mud I was riding in that day.
Heading up to Hancock Pass.
The road to Hancock Pass.
Snow.
I failed to make it through. I got stuck for about 10 minutes.
Once I got through a couple more snow banks the road was completely covered in snow. You can see a little bit of the road in the bottom right of this pic.
Re-route to a pass that was plowed. It was only about 50 miles away.
I tried to go back around to the other side of Hancock Pass. The road was basically an ATV trail.
… that was eventually closed.
This is the Old Stage Coach Route. It was a lot of fun.
On the road to Cinnamon Pass.
A window view from a house in the ghost town of Animas Forks.
California Pass.
A view from the top.
This one lane road had 12 ft tall snow banks on either side.
Another freshly graded National Forest road.
Utah…
The trail I decided to take in the Sand Flats Recreation Area.
And the rock.
It hurt to take those last two pics.

Wow, Lots of really great pics in there! I’m a little confused, though. Are you saying that that rock was the thing you were trying to ride when you hurt your foot? Insane!

WOW!
