Half Way Back











It's now a ride of hurry up and slow down. We are hoping to top off this great trip with a cruise up the Blue Ridge Parkway. Interstate riding across Nebraska was uneventful. Sorry Nebraska, but the only things we saw that merits bragging rights are the sunrise and sunsets. The sunset photo is blurry, but you can get the idea. In Sydney we stopped at Cabellas where Leroy bought himself a bigger tent so he could stand up and dress in the mornings. Here's a photo of the new jewel. It suites him well.




We broke camp early this morning and crossed the rest of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri (most of it) and are right outside of St. Louis. Tomorrow we will drop down and hope to make Kentucky by day's end.




We did loose Leroy today for about an hour coming through Kansas City. We turned on 435 South while Leroy went on 435 East. Since his phone was inside the trailer, and the trailer lid was jammed we couldn't call him. Although we tried many times and left many messages. Jerry also backtracked to see if he could find him while I waited. So Jerry and I rode 435, to 70 as fast as we dared and we found him. He was waiting at a pulloff just outside the interchange. We won't lose him again I promise. No one was the worse for wear. Aside from losing Leroy, there was some flooding across the road in one spot, and I forgot how hot is gets here in Missouri.
