7 Sep 2021 Looking ahead at the route we are planning today I think it’s going to be incredible! First off, two new states. I suppose, technically, I could take credit for Missouri after crossing the Mississippi river bridge yesterday, but today is the real deal, spending six hours slicing off a wedge in...
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,...
5 Sep 2021 Down day number two, trip day number five. Hummm, hope that’s not too confusing! Well, been a while since I’ve seen this at Cracker Barrel — lots of front porch sitt’n for brunch. Kind of out of character for a “Road Less Traveled” adventure right? Perhaps but, it is an iconic...
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...
Spring has sprung and we had some nice weather to get out in for a trip to North Carolina. Come on along...
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,...
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...
