Gas cloud

It was an exciting start to the day with an emergency; a local company had a release of apparently toxic gas. (No, it was not from a bad experience at a Mexican food restaurant.)  The authorities recommended people evacuate a several mile radius!  Roads were closed, even to the point of local police and sheriffs standing point in our parking lot.

This brings to mind the concept of getting out of Dodge.  If the roads are closed, the house not immediately available, I had to think about what bike I would hop on to do a cross country run.  First thought, Yamaha Super Tenere or KTM Adventure.

Of course, the gas from the plant dissipated, the emergency lifted, and things are back to whatever is perceived as normal.  But, the thought of taking off cross country remains!
