Our finally stop was at Brookville Reservoir in south eastern Indiana, another Army Corp of Engineer campground. The weather turned wet and a short walk to the boat launch was the highlight of the evening. The next day was uneventful, but much anticipated as we pulled into 2403 Strange Hwy. The final trip numbers…….Sunday the van = 4600 miles……Beamer the […]

Being on the road in all sorts of new places. The perfect scenario for van mom to ride her bike on new roads in new places. Finding a bike tour in Lebanon Illinois determined our charted course. Tour Da Stooges…..now that sounded fun. Van mom signed up to ride the Moe Metric Century, 62 miles. There was the nicest park […]

This song really says it all and it is by the famous Irving Berlin. How did he know how van mom would feel after being gone for 5 1/2 weeks?

Van dad and mom made it back safe and sound and are now planning the journey back to Michigan., but not before enjoying the Texas Star and her family for another week. I will let the pictures do the talking

It was an amazing ride. I got to add 1680 miles to my odometer. Now I hope that I can get a bath,

Staying two nights at Cowboys and Angels gave van dad and mom time to relax and take me on a leisurely ride on some great motorcycle roads. It also gave van dad time to check out the various old farm implements that decorated the property. He was especially pleased to determine that the two bottom plow was a Case plow. […]

It was with much disappointment that we saddled up and left Fort Davis. This area had much to explore but time did not allow. That is a the downside to making reservations, you have travel within their confines. The day started foggy and damp and deteriorated from there.
