Just as background.. This trip started as a 65th birthday party for my college class in Santa Fe , then somehow turned into a motorcycle trip. After the three day birthday party thing in Santa Fe we are heading up to Colorado to see Marc for a week and go riding in the Rockies with Marc and Jess. Then we’re heading down to Las Cruces , NM to New Mexico State University for a one week music camp for adults… We are going to head back east with stops in Fort Worth , and Dallas Texas for some rodeo… We’ll probably swoop over to Louisiana and up to Fort Smith , Arkansas to check out “hangin’ judge” Parker’s place and then up to Branson , Mo. . We plan on spending some time at the farm in Branson where Jeannine grew up and doing some local riding, then head off toward Lexington , Ky to a wedding of one of Jeannine’s cousins, then back home.....
Our first day was wet.. We got partway across Pennsylvania when there was a short rainstorm. We could see a light at the end of the tunnel, so we drove right through it. Not bad.. Then we did it again... A little worse.
Then we could see there was a BIG thunderstorm guarding the border of Pennsylvania and Ohio. We pulled under an overpass (sound familiar?) and I checked my Garmin... a Best Western in less than two miles in Hubbbard Ohio... We Can Do It. So off we went.. Boy did we get soaked in two miles, and as we pulled up, six more cyclists pulled in, just as wet as us..... (all New York Blue Knights, including a state trooper and a judge!!)
Yesterday morning we woke up to 44 degrees and windy.. Brr.. but we had a good day's ride. 600 miles.
Today we hope to have lunch with Jeannine's sister in Springfield Mo, and head to Tulsa.
Well, breakfast beckons.. More later.
Harris and Jeannine
