Another epic trip

I don't mind that it was on their site - I wanted to see it! I love it.

The stuff I have strapped to the bars gives pretty good protection from bugs. You can tell by the death splattered all over my tent bag. With my half-helmet and bandanna, I'm good with the rain. That day was just really, really bad. I listen to music most of the time. The ear buds are like ear plugs and block the wind noise. Granted the music is then blasting, but I get singing and looking like a fool (I'm sure, but I don't care), and life is good. I lost my bottle holder when I gave up my Deuce risers, but the bottle sets nicely in the cargo net that's holding my chair and rain gear on the bars. I'm all good.

I'm at a really nice KOA now. I came in last night and got an awesome site next to the river. I even got firewood. I'm staying another night. My granddaughter has a suspected cataract, so her mother has to take her to Boston today. Since I'm less than a day away, I'm going to hang out here and do some more writing.

That's awesome. I can't believe you brought a chair with you
I like KOAs. Get the book of all the KOAs in the nation and then you can find the next one to stay at for the next night and be a card member.

I like all the stuff on the handle bars. Is that a GPS or a Ipod?

Do they let you bath in the river? That's what I would do. Did that in Lewis Lake in Yellowstone one year.

That's a camera that also has video capabilities. I put my iPod in my jeans pocket. I hold my shirt out at the top and drop the iPod, with wires attached, down my shirt. I like to do this with people watching, because I'm sure they're thinking, "what the ..." I can reach into my pocket and pause it or change the volume, plus when I stop, I can pull the earbuds out and they hang over the top of my shirt. Makes it easy to get going again.

I like KOAs too and have a card. I can look up locations from the Internet on my phone. The book is nice, but it's too big to carry with me. They're expensive, but most of them are nicer than a lot of the cheap hotels I've stayed in.

Abby - we gonna get some pics of the new Grandbaby? Glad ya finally got dryed out. LOL

When I can get to her. If you're on Facebook, there are plenty there. Turns out she's blind in one eye. She's going to need surgery and a patch, so the next step is to find baby girl pirate stuff. Arghhhh!

She's beautiful.
