I arrived in West KY in the early evening on Wednesday
Aug 23, what was then Day #30 on my tour. Here it is 18
days later, and I am ready to hit the road again. I will count
tomorrow, Monday September 10 as Day #31, and not
count all my work days here as part of the tour.
Nor will I count the 371 miles on the bike while site seeing,
running errands and visiting while here.
I spent most of yesterday, going through my gear, repacking
and getting everything ready to travel. I've done some
maintenance on the bike, purchased some new carpet for
the tent (is lighter and packs smaller), and put everything
away that I can until time to travel.
I have torn down 2 old outbuildings, hauled away over
10,400 lbs. of wood and metal, cut up what I would guess to
be over 7 pickup loads of brush and tree trimmings and picked
up a mild case of poison ivy or sumac. I've visited my 2 sisters,
but have pretty much stayed busy working on the clean up
project here at my mother-in-laws place. I've seen 2 snakes,
1 mouse, a burlap sack full of woodbees and more red wasps
than I could possibly count!
I have worked on the blog daily, trying to get it caught up, but
that is a difficult thing to do. Now that it is up and running, and
I know a little more about it, I'll try to keep it current on the
road, while filling in the missing days as I go along.
I've had several requests for pictures of my camper, some of
the campgrounds and places I've stayed. The photo portion of
the blog is absolutely the most frustrating thing to work with
and not very easily manipulated, but I'll try to get those up
for those interested. If any of you know how to align/place
the photos, your input would be GREATLY appreciated, as I
am to the point of NOT posting any more photos it is such an
ordeal.
The road is calling...and I intend to answer!
