The Great Plains Project - Part Two - The Halfway Point

Jerod Foster and I rode adventure motorcycles 3,500 miles from Presidio, Texas on the Mexico border to the North Dakota/Canada line. We lived off our Honda Africa Twins and slept in tents for 15 days. We rode gravel, dirt, and the occasional asphalt backroad up the middle of America. We were followed by a crew of Texas Tech students led by directors Simon Parmley, and Madison Walker, filming a docu-series for Texas Tech PBS.   This episode was recorded the morning of day eight at Watts Coffee in downtown Council Grove, Kansas. You can hear the fatigue in our voices. We recap our travels through Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. The scenery has been stunning, the gravel chunky, the sand challenging, and the people, infinitely interesting. We relive a few tumbles and highlight which pieces of gear we’re loving at the moment.   Check out thegreatplainsproject.com for daily dispatches featuring my words and Jerod’s photos. It’s like a coffee table book for your computer.
