Murf n I left Tupelo around 10:30AM after a stop at the hardware store to pick up a bolt for the windshield on the Sportster. We cruised about 50 miles before stopping in Prarie, MS on the side of hwy 45 due to a badly needed glove change. Temp was in the 40s and numbness prevailed. Next stop Huddle House in West Point. After mega doses of caffeine and choking down biscuits n gravy we hit the trail again. Miles to a gas station somewhere around Meridian and then to another gas stop 30 miles north of Mobile.
Mobile is a huge town. We traveled hwy 45 until it came to an abrupt halt. The ocean has a way of terminating highways. Made a left, crossed the bay and stopped at the Best Western next to the USS Alabama. I can see the lights on the ship out the window. It was nice to stop. It was nice to look up and see a palm tree. Late and my lardass is leaning towards the bed. Pictures will folllow. Beyond any doubt, best ride ever!
