I was wondering where you planned to bed down for the nights.
The cops around here won't let you "camp" at the rest stops.
A friend,who had been riding for eight hours, tried to get a little nap in before continuing his run.
Cop said he had to go.
Hope he moved the cars and truckers along to. ???
I had been riding for like 12 or 13 hours and was pooped. Officer came in the rest area, saw me on a picnic table trying to get a couple of hours of sleep. He came over and loudly yelled hey mac, ya'll got to get out of here.
I rolled over and said, would you rather come to my fatal accident or let me get a couple hours of sleep. He said I'll be back in 3 hours, you better be gone or you will be going to jail.
I was retired, just bought MGM, just had my zipper put in my chest, and was not fully healed. Then he saw my Police decal on the windshield, he said have a nice sleep, I won't bother you the rest of the night. I slept 3 hours and took off. Stopped about 30 miles down the road for some breakfast, guess who was in there getting a donut. He said come join me. I did and we talked Cop stuff for about 2 hours and then he got a call. He went one way and I went the other.
We were in Texas someplace. As many times as I have gone East to West and visa verses, I'll be cursed if I can tell you where I am in that state..... I rely on my GPS to get me across now.
I'll never forget 1 trip across Texas, I'd stopped in El Paso and staid with relation. Got up around 4:00 AM, when they did, showered and had breakfast. Like 5:30 AM I headed East for Florida. 9:00 PM that night I was still in Texas. That was when I rode my hard-tail Harley from San Francisco to Tallahassee for Temporary Duty while in the USMC.
