Arkansas

We're in Harrison, AR for two nights. Going to rent a car tomorrow so
we can run around the countryside and visit some of my Dad's old
haunting grounds. Spent the last couple of night's at my Dad's
brother's house. Jim was kept busy farming and repairing.

On Tuesday we're heading towards Albaquerque, NM where we'll spend a
night or two, then homeward bound. Jim's getting anxious to get our
trailer set up and to relax for a while.

Clarksville, TN

We're in Clarksville, TN. Had a great ride today. It was hot out,
but rode thru a couple of small showers that cooled us down nicely.

Going to start heading West tomorrow. We've been having a great time
with Jack and Lori. Their hospitality is wonderful. If you're ever
in the area - Tellico Plains, TN - make sure you visit them at Hunts
Lodge - www.huntslodge.com.

You won't be disappointed.

Tennessee

We're in Tellico Plains, TN. We spent the weekend with Mo and his
lovely wife Mary Ann near Greenville, SC. They spoiled us rotten. We
had a wonderful time with them and their little weiner dogs. Thanks
again, Mo and Mary Ann.

Now we're at Jack and Lori's campground/cottages in Tellico Plains.
They had to run into town but were kind enough to leave us a note
directing us to a cabin with the air conditioner working like a charm.
I'm glad Mo mentioned we were heading this way!

Tomorrow we're planning on riding the infamous Deal's Gap. We've
already ridden the Cherohala Skyway. What a beautiful road!

It's rather toasty out right now.

Harrisburg, PA

We're in Harrisburg, PA for the night. Sean rode with us for a little
while this morning. Making sure we actually left town, I think. ;-)
We're going to hit the Blue Ridge Mtns. next on our way to Mo's in S.
Carolina.

Thank you's

We want to extend a huge thank you to Sean, Lucy, and Colin for putting up with us this weekend, and to Bob and Linda Zimmerman for putting up with us a couple of weekends ago. We've been having a great time meeting new people and spending time with them.

Tomorrow we're going to start heading South, heading for South Carolina for the weekend. After that we'll start making our way West.

We've had a couple of "concerned" e-mails since we shared that we bought a fifth-wheel trailer to stay in over the winter months. The reasoning behind our actions is this - we really enjoy being out on the road and would like to be able to do so for longer. If we continue to keep riding, we'll have to stop next May and find work because we will have reached the end of our budgeted travel allowance. If we stop for the winter and work during the winter months, we will be able to travel all of next summer again. And, if we really plan well, we'll be able to work winters and travel summers for the next several years. So don't worry, we're not giving up on our dreams and our plan - we're simply hoping to be able to make it last a few more years rather than just one.

Danbury, CT

We're in Danbury, CT, staying with Sean and Lucy and Sean's son, Colin.  We're going to relax here this weekend, change tires, and service the bikes.  Then off again on Monday or Tuesday.  The weather's cooling down and fall is in the air.  The leaves are starting to change color but I don't think we'll be in this area long enough to see the full show. 
 
Pic's are being updated on webshots.
