Parting of the Fellowship, day 7

We had a fantastic trip. We covered 2104 miles and saw some wonderful country. The ride up A1A is recommended to anyone in or on any vehicle. We drove almost 500 miles yesterday and arrived home at 7:15PM. We sacked out; murf was asleep almost immediately! LOL. Here's some more shots. BTW, you can click on them for a larger view:


This is murf casual on the beach house veranda.


This is the Sportster parked in the front yard.


This is the Harley of Harleys, Mike's Heritage Classic.


This is the engraved engine cover on the Heritage, it says "Murf's Toy"...kewl huh?


Murf's last minute check before launching for Jonesboro.


Murf rolling on the last leg of the trip.


In the road and loving it!!

We had a blast. Both of us have laughed constantly. There is a cheerful air and spirit of freedom when cruising. The mind clears, the head works better, a sense of relief washes away the stress developed while NOT riding. It's not only nice to have a yearning for adventure at my age, but to have a great friend with a similar mindset. BTW, Murf arrived home safely. And hey my friend, thank you for the opportunity to fulfill a life's dream. The Good Lord brought us together for this ride, blessed us in many ways while on the road and watched over us. My gratitude cannot be expressed in words.
