The Ride Home (cont.)


Shippsewanna, Indiana to WINDSOR, Mass 781 miles

Indiana (cont): Nice sunrise, we were on the road before it came up.

Ohio: They have the nicest rest areas. Big, clean, modern. Lots of truck parking, which looks really cool at dawn with all the trucks lined up with thier running lights on.

Pennsylvania: We just ran a short stretch thru PA along Lake Erie but long enough to run into a grumpy old guy at the gas station. He yelled at us to move the bikes away from the pumps while we were grabbing some food when there wasn't another customer in sight and there were 4 other open pumps. Of course that was all the encouragment we needed to slooowwwly get ready, paaaaaack up our fooooooood, put on our helmets, waaaaalk around the bike, kiiiiiiick the tires on the trailer and then honk the horn and wave as we rode off. It was a nice welcome home from the the friendly folks of the Northeast.

New York: No time to stop in Buffalo for wings, next trip..., northeast drivers are worse than Illinois drivers.

Mass: We finally made it home, it was a long ride but worth every minute. Total distance travelled was 5141 miles!

Wrap up to come-stay tuned.
