Lost I knew I had to be to the BMW dealer by 1300, but I had no idea how long it would take me to get there. I had to finish going through Connecticut, Rhode Island, go through Massachusetts, including Boston, and get to North Hampton, NH by 1300. Overall it was only a couple […]

My friends Jolane and Chris were awesome and we stayed up late enjoying the company. I was really glad I decided to take her up on her offer to stay. She even let me do my laundry in her washing machine! So I washed all the clothes I had with me and threw them in

So excited Today I would ride the Skyline Drive, about which I’ve heard a lot and couldn’t wait to see! I’m telling you, the beautiful things mother nature has to offer! It rained a lot of the night. And it looked like it was going to rain some more. Ominous The sky did not look

Eager I was eager to get moving and ride some more cool roads in the area, so I got a early start from Redd’s place. South Carolina sunrise. I hit the road before 7 and headed towards Gatlinburg. Trouble? Turns out through, in North and South Carolina gas was still a rare thing due to
Too many! I usually try to memorize the roads I’m supposed to take, but from Alabama to Georgia to South Carolina, there were just too many. My screenshot of Welcome to Alabama. When there’s nowhere to pull over, you improvise! My GPS took me on a billion roads and soon I didn’t even know if
Still doing the thing Exhausted as I was, I slept through the night with no assistance and woke up ready to go. It’s amazing what a night’s rest will do for you. No matter how much rain I got, I was STILL doing this thing! Another room I had reached out to bunk a bikers
Raining again I got up early at Tommie’s (she’s a fellow insomniac) and we had a couple of cups of coffee before I started packing up. I knew today would be a shorter day, so I wasn’t in too big a hurry. I got rolling around 0815 in the pouring rain. Premium I needed gas,

Packing I woke up about 0520 local time and quietly started packing up. I took my time, hoping Nancy would wake up so I could thank her for her hospitality, but I was ready to leave by 0645. While was making my last check to ensure my gear was all tied down properly when Nancy
Late I got a later start than I intended. The old guy I ran into yesterday ended up at the same campground and he wanted to TALK. For a long time. He was nice, but my camping/packing system isn’t all dialed in. This led to my delayed start of 0820. Having my morning coffee! I
