This is my final log into this blog. I've been meaning to come back and finish off with a great story that would recap the whole adventre. I haven't done that yet and there is something that just doesn't allow me to say all and so I won't. Remember that ol' sitcom "Alice"? Flo, Mel and the Diner? Remember Joline? I'm laughing because those are the characters we ran into on this trip - this

As we traveled along many two lane roads, catching breathtaking views, small towns, farms, rocks, praries - I thought to myself about the early travelers who mapped out these great United States of ours. We have a lot to be thankful for to these early pioneers. Can you imagine, traveling along the ravines and moutains, tredging your way to a new life at a pace of about 6 miles an hour? Plenty of

By now Kaye, Carol and myself have already made it home (Anita too). On Thur Carol and I made sure George was on his way, gave Kaye some last minute attention and then hit the road. Here's a picture of Kaye and Carol before we walked up the platform (and ahem, back down). Kaye is so cool - what a trooper! Not one tear after breaking an ankle in three places!Even though Carol and I were now a day

After getting up when we were done sleeping - we took a cruise over to 4 Corners, USA.Too cool - we got Utah as another state on our trip! First one up to get their picture taken was me. Next was Kaye. After getting my pic shot - I ran back to the end of the line to hold the place for Carol while she snapped Kaye's pic. This is when we started our trip back to Farmington, except we didn't know we

Wow, we had the most perfect ride through New Mexico today via the 64. We stopped along the way and checked out the scenery - talked with folks and took lots of pics. I'll have to get the pics up tomorrow. If you ever want to see some beautiful country side - check out highway 64 through New Mexico. Via a small spontaneous side trip - we went to the top of a local volcano and checked out the

Hey - here's the pics I promised...for now. Yay, I'm in Clayton NM with Carol and Kaye. Split from the girlz to another adventure. Anyhoo I was talking about Graceland.THE best place I've ever been to. Thanks to the GtG for going with me. I was so excited when we arrived. This was the day I was going to see where Elvis lived, worked and entertained. His home. It's sort of hard to imagine that

Here we are in Tulsa, OK. We couldn't make it to OK City last night. It took us 6 hours to do less than 2oo miles - so we pressed on to Tulsa and met up with the WITW Tulsa chapter ladies. They are so awesome. We sat, laughed and drank a couple beers - they are a great bunch. After leading us to our hotel, they took us the CASINO! Oh, but it's an Indian casino and no craps table. So I played it

I really don't know what number day this is so let me just recap.Glad to hear that a few of you are following along on my trip - including my family!Yesterday was another early morning trip as Colleen and I got up once again to make it to a dealer just above Rolla, MO to get her clutch fixed. Yesterday we had to have parts picked up by the gals in different cities so that the dealer in whatever

Okay today is day 7 - Friday - just got packed at 6am to roll. Colleen and I are taking off ahead of the pack to get her bike to dealer in Calvert (Paducah, KY) to have it looked at. Two other gals are having bike trouble and will be staying here in Memphis to have them finished up - hopefully by 12pm. So all the sleepy heads are going with them!Day 5 - Rolling into Memphis:Wow, I had such a

Just a quick check in:Yeah, we are in Van Buren, Arkansas. That means today we will travel a relatively short distance to Memphis. We had a pretty good ride from Shamrock Texas - considering we stopped in Clinton to have Lilia's bike looked at - leaking oil. We spent two hours there hanging out so that we stayed together. Not bad - that's what we do.Hey, Roswell Alien museum - met these three

I can't believe it's 12:30am on day 3 and I'm just getting to blog. It's been an eventful three days. One thing I have learned over these last few days that riding with women three full days in a row, that you normally only see once or twice a month - well, suffice it to say that we are learning new things about each other and new ways of interacting. Everyone has a different way of processing

Allright, we are three days away from take off. Lots of the ladies have done LOTS of work to/on their bike to get things ready. Me? I've done a few things. New detachable sissy bar...and that's it. That was enough.You know, when you buy a new Harley - there is a term you become rightly familiar with - Harley Poor. Everything is so expensive and of course you just have to have it and sometimes you

Today, I am just a little over 5 days away from taking off on the grandest adventure of a lifetime. Not too often do we get to do something we that long ago dreamed. You know what I'm talking about. When we were kids, young adults, we dreamed about what we wanted to be, what we wanted to have, where we wanted to go. For some of us, life happened and we slowly forgot about those idle ideas and
