We Finally made it home!!!!!!!
Inzane was great!!!!! got ta see LOTS of folks!!!
We decided LATE Saturday night.... that we were NOT tired of the cool weather up north....... and since we were in Michigan..... and kinda in the area.... we went to Maine for lobster.......besides.... FB was wanting to get all 48 states on her Spyder...... She is at 40 now!!!!!!!Every state west of the Rockies!!!!Mostly 2 lane back roads!
The losbster and clam chowder were GREAT!!!!!!!!
Met OSS in NY!!!!!! and he gave us a GREAT tour of the Hudson River Valley!!!!!!!!! Beautiful area!!!!!!!! Thanks OSS!!!!!!!!!Headed south out of NY and stopped in NJ had had a GREAT Pastrami Sandwich!!!!!! Thanks again OSS!!!!!!
Went down through the DelMarVa....Delaware was the only state in the east that we have not been to at least 3 times..... but it is a itty bitty state and ya have ta go there on purpose...LOL
Went and hung out with Highbinder and Lady Draco for a few days....Conversations on the porch!!!Watching HUNDREDS of hummingbirds!!! Enough of the little dive bombers to empty 9 or 10 feeders more than once a day!!!!...... haulin hay.....FB and LD canning stuff from the garden and making bread..... sitting out at night and watching for meteors..... seeing space junk drifting by...... and shewing of herds of raccoons.....LOL A great time!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks HB and LD!!!!!!!!!!
FB and I headed home Wednesday.... didn't get an early start..... but we were not in a hurry..... In Tn, we some how got separated....CB comms were bad for some reason.... FB's phone wouldn't work......We were both wrecks..... and REALLY happy to find each other again!!!!!!! We lost about 2 hours.....
Stopped for the night just inside Alabama...... Headed out the next am.... thunderstorms with lightning..... but we never hit anything bad enough to stop.... or even put on ran gear...sure kept things cool!!!!!! Started getting HOT in Ms.... and hotter in La....We could have made it home, but decided to stop at a casino in Lake Charles.. and try our luck....... good thing I'm lucky in love......A 3 hour ride today... and we are home!!!!!!!! Sure enjoyed the trip.... but good to be home......spent the rest of the day watering the dying fruit trees..... we are STILL at 1.5 inches of rain for 7 months.....at least I don't have to mow the yard!!!! LOL

Good ta be home!!!!!! The trip ta Maine for lobster was just a ploy to stay in the cool weather for a bit longer...and it worked!!!!!!
Been a good ridin summer..... FB now has 40 states on her Spyder!!!!Since the middle of May... we have put over 13,000 miles on the bikes... and been to all the states east of the rockies.......and only had 3 weeks at the house......I know it doesn't seem like a lot of miles for that amount of time....but MOST of it was spent on 2 lane back roads..... seein the sights.... a 350 mile day was a LONG day...LOL
Next year we will catch Route 66 at Albuquerque and head west to finish that road.....Catch the 5 remaining states in the West ta finish up the lower 48 states for the 3rd time..8 states for FB's 1st time on her bike..... then head for Alaska ta make 49.....
\Man.... I like being on the road.....Who was it that said" Life Is A Road"....Grin>>>>>
