Day 4 May 23, 2014 TWO LANE ROADS, CLOUDS, AND MENTAL HEALTH

Sunset is an angel weeping
Holding out a bloody sword
No matter how I squint I cannot
Make out what it's pointing toward
Sometimes you feel like you've lived too long
The days drip slowly on the page
And you catch yourself
Pacing the cage
Jimmy Buffett

It's day four and I feel like we are actually on our way. No longer pacing the cage but growing younger by the day.  Over 1000 miles into the ride and found ourselves in North Platte Nebraska for the night. Rain all around us but never on us, lots of two lane road very lightly traveled green rolling hills.

We were at about 6000 feet in the area they call the high plains a combination of rolling green hills agriculture and cattle. I know we are headed to Canada and appear to be heading east and north instead of straight north. Taking the long way to get anywhere is our favorite way to ride after all the The Journey Is The Destination.

Just put it in perspective if Little Red Riding Hood had taken the long way to grandma's house she would have missed the big bad wolf and her whole trip would have been better.
