Our Guest

This morning we said good-by to a new friend a fellow traveler that enjoys the road less traveled.  We joined a group called Motorcycle Travel Network.  Which is all over US and Canada, maybe even other countries, I am not sure.  Anyways it is a great way to travel and save on lodging and meet like minded friends.  Last night we had our first guest and she was a wonderful person that was fun to get to know.  Coralee has traveled 25000 miles or so in the past 2 1/2 years. She came around 5, got her settled and then went out to eat. Came home and visited on the front porch and then I took her for a small ride around the country side to see our covered bridges that are close by.  This morning then we had breakfast and then she was on her way.  We so enjoyed her stories and hope to continue a friendship.  I hope to ride with her someday soon.
Really excited about the MTN, hope to use it a lot.  Coralee has used it many times in her travels.

More back roads.

Beautiful day, the weather was perfect for riding.  I planned to meet Annie to show how I do my mapping with my Tomtom in Reynoldsburg.  So I thought I am going to make a full days ride out of this so I mapped out a route that took me up into Amish country, through Sunbury and Uttica, then over to rt. 60 out of Warsaw. I really enjoyed to ride, saw horse and buggies and little Amish children.   I wish I could have taken pictures of it all.  Also at one spot a deer stepped out of the woods and just looked at me I honked my horn a few times and he headed back into the woods.  I need to hang my camera around my neck instead of attached to the bike then I could aim it at things I want to get better.  Well I was enjoying my ride so much and I thought I was on schedule but I really missed up.  And some how with all the turn arounds, missed turns and road closings.  I was an hour off on my estimate of when I would get there. I took 70 instead of 40 over and that helped me get there sooner just because I traveled much faster on the freeway.  Did not enjoy that part of my ride at all.   She had to wait an hour for me,  Oh I felt so bad. I hate being 10 min.  late, this was really hard, we talked on the phone when I still had an hr to get there.  I told her she did not have to wait on me but she was very nice about it and she waited.  Here are some of my pictures. Notice the beautiful sky!!
