As I mentioned in yesterday's post, plans have changed and we have cancelled the motorcycle portion of the trip. After dropping Sherry and Karen at the Albany airport yesterday at oh-dark-thirty, KC and I drove home...nearly a thousand miles. But the drive was great...perfect (if freaking HOT) weather and reasonable traffic (unlike the north bound lanes which for some reason were absolutely gridlocked for miles). I pulled into my garage last night at 10:00PM to my lovely wife Sherry and beautiful Golden Retriever Bella. Bella was doing a hyper tail wag and moaning softly. So was I.
Great trip.
Glad to be home.
KC and I have decided to rethink our motorcycle trip. We spent six days exploring New England from his F-150 and loved it. But the weather in the eastern half of the US has turned hot, which we both hate riding in. And, at 68 years old, we have earned the right to decide when and under what conditions we'll ride. As I often say, one of the benefits of retirement is that we get to pick the weather windows we'll ride in. This window didn't suit us, so we'll wait for one that does.
Its really that simple.
For a fourth time I will have the great fortune of making a combination "couples trip" and "buddy motorcycle tour". The trip will feature the Frames and the Campbells with a distinct deviation from our previous western trips- Moab ('13), the Rockies and Glacier National Park ('15) and Four Corners ('16). This year's trip (2017) will be centered on the Adirondack Mountains and New England.
