Wow, Kelly... sounds like you're "living the dream"... AND you're hitting all the trails I want to ride. I suppose another twist you might consider (and one of my ambitions) is to ride a section of the GDR (Great Divide Route). I rode the Monarch Crest/Colorado Trail a few weeks ago (on a 29er mountain bike), and it was arguably the best ride I've ever done. Not a loaded touring kind of ride (unless you stick to the dirt roads; we aimed for single track), but stunningly beautiful. As I said to my friend, "If the scenery doesn't take your breath away, the altitude (12,000 ft) WILL"...
Maybe you can write a book on your travels. I'll have to consult you in a few years when I'm planning my retirement... which WILL include all these rides you speak of.
