DAY 22-23

"One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things."
-Henry Miller

The last two days covered 800 plus miles and lots of pretty country. We had miles of vineyards followed by the Welchs Plant, farms forests small towns, but mostly driving.

I like to shut off the radio and just listen to the wind and watch the scenery and I started thinking about my favorite part of this trip so far. I have decided that my favorite is the entire trip not any specific part. It's not exactly Billy and Captain America (reference to Easy Rider) but I do have the cd from the movie to listen to.

We have seen so may sights, from the gulf coast of Florida to Duval street in Key West. Then on to the Atlantic Ocean, the barrier islands of the Carolina's, Washington DC, and the coast of Maine. The view from two wheels is always changing and never fails to impress me with the differences across our country.

This truly is the "Great American Road Trip" an opportunity I'm thankful I am able to participate in. Every day I get on that bike and start down an unknown road with an ever changing route and only some basic goal of getting to each of the four corners of the United States.

JB and Suzy drove up from Kansas City and joined us for dinner and the night in Des Monies, which made our day.
