DAY 1 6/2/2013

…and so it begins. Once again we are off to see this great country from the perspective of two wheels. Today was all I-40 from Winslow east but still an enjoyable ride. The weather cooperated although at times you could feel the temperature drop ten degrees and smell the rain in the air. Both perspectives of the trip that you don’t get in a car as the temperature fluctuated all day between pleasant and a little on the warm side. At one point the weather channel warned of 60 MPH winds and quarter sized hail for the road we were on. All we noticed were dark clouds and a nice tail wind. At least a dozen times today we were asked “where you going” and when you tell them Maine it always elicits a story of travel and a desire to share. This early in the trip who knows if we will end up in Maine or somewhere else and who really cares. The destination is the excuse for the ride not the mandatory goal.
