"I've been everywhere"

"This weekend I finished up the solo version of "I've been everywhere man". I got the idea of doing this project after contributing to a group effort with Two Wheeled Texans. All 92 cities,towns, communities anddried up places were visited by me and a photo taken to record the moment. All the photos were then set to Brian Burns version of the great song done originally by Hank Snow then made famous Johnny Cash.

The project covered 10,641 miles and included 24 distinct riding days. Along the way I discovered some interesting facts such as round lake was formally known as Clabberville and ceased to exist the turn of the century.


And places like Val Verde and Mill Creek are communities, not fully recognized towns with city limit signs. The bike, a BMW R1150GS performed flawlessly with my longest single day of 1,024 miles and this weekend I finished up with 1,245 miles over a day and a half.
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.Youtube seems to really cutdown on the quality and the refresh rate is tough for .5 second frames. As popeye says, "it is what it is. Hope you enjoy the ride......

Whatever you did to the OP seems to be much better. The formatting was hard to read!
