DAY 23 END OF THE ROAD

Tourists don't know where they've been, travelers don't know where they're going.
Paul Theroux

Made it home late afternoon Tuesday happy to be home and sad that it's over until next year. There will be numerous short rides and a week with the wives in October but this one is in the history books.

We are so fortunate to have missed the devastating weather that has touched many of the areas we were near. Just watching it on the news brought back memories of riding in northern Arkansas Mother's Day morning. We had tornado damage on the sides of the road, parking lots with mobile insurance offices filing claims on a Sunday, and packed church parking lots.

We are all home safe, rode some unbelievable country, met incredible people, all on two wheels. The saying "It's Not The Destination, It's The Journey" isn't brand specific and certainly describes our group.

As always I must thank my family who indulge me and realize how important the trip is to my mental well being.
