6 Sep 2021 Slowing getting back in the traveling groove today… Bright blue skies and lovely sunshine, just perfect! Studying the map I came to realize that Illinois drops waaaaay farther south than I realized – to the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and right in line with our path. Oh look,...
4 Sep 2021 Today is a ‘pause day’, not a lot of travel – instead a couple of local sights we took in… The first comes from a small hike, really more of a walk, exploring the Narrows of the Harpeth. On the Harpeth river that is. An absolutely fascinating place geographically and historically....
3 Sep 2021 Well off we go, day 3. Early start and a shorter day, only two hundred fifty miles. The first hour and a bit are spent on larger (straight and boring) state highway. Given the pedestrian nature of this stretch of road, through the wasteland of featureless strip malls, we didn’t even...
2 Sep 2021 Well, after that wonderful fist day what comes next??? How about some breakfast in this unique mercantile. Couldn’t help but smile at the signage :-). How to describe the place? I suppose it’s a modern day “Tourist’s General Store” in the form of a soft Cretan Labyrinth fueled by the siren...
1 Sep 2021 So… this will be our big trip for the year. Hey, every wonder what to pack for a long motorcycle trip? We break things into two chunks: personal stuff, and common stuff. Personal things are, well, personal. Normal stuff like clothes and those hygiene items supporting civil society. Two people, two...

27 Mar 2021 As the blog posts add up I thought it might me interesting to pull together all of the trips into a single map… Well, here it is. No point in adding many words, it’s really all about the places. At some point the limits of Google Maps will begin to encroach,...
Metro DC BMW Group Ride – Apple House & Morgans Ford 22 Aug 2020 Well, we’ve been wanting to meet some folks and ride with a larger group so… today’s the day! Weather wasn’t really cooperating; one trip we signed up for canceled but these folks were hardy and pressed on. A little farther...
4 Jul 2020 What a pleasant stop for the night. Kathy was such a wonderful host, we sat and talked over coffee for a good part of the morning. Eventually it was time to go though, pack and get ready, then scoot down the driveway and point north. Just down the road we saw...
3 Jul 2020 Daylight sure came early today :-). Quick bite to eat and we’re off… The morning is bright, the air is cool, the road is full of twists and turns. So perfect. I wonder what we will find today??? Ah we found this, the Fairfax Stone. Headwaters of the Potomac and the...
