Got up this morning with good intentions of attending Church. I discovered the meeting didn't start until 10:00 AM, and check out from my motel was 11:00. So I thought, I'll just check with the front desk and ask if I can check out at noon. No big deal, I thought. Well, being the Memorial weekend, the motel was full, and had another full vacancy for the following night. The desk clerk said no deal! So I scrapped that well intended desire, and hit the road by 8:00 AM. I did listen to the scriptures on my iPod part of the day, hoping that would compensate for missing Church. I got through Genesis and Exodus. It's been awhile since I've read the Old Testament all the way through. In Exodus, as I listened, I envisioned Charltan Heston, saying "Let my people go." Now, that was a great movie!
Anyway, I put on 531 miles today, from Sidney, Nebraska to Des Moines, Iowa.
Here's a pic of the Nebraska landscape.
Here's a pic of the Iowa landscape. It is the same as Nebraska, but it is called Iowa instead. :)
Did you know that Nebraska is the "Home of Arbor Day?" I didn't know that either, until I saw this sign.
One of my many gas stops.
Don't tell Penny that I took this picture while cruising down the highway at 75 mph.Well, I'll catch you tomorrow as I head North into Minnesota and on up into Canada. (Actually, it will probably be Tuesday before I reach Canada. I'm looking forward to some beautiful vistas.
Good to see you had another safe riding day. I got thru half the BofM on our Iron Butt ride so riding and listening to the good word is a good way to go! Safe riding my motorcycling bro!
ReplyDeleteIt may seem strange getting comments from a complete stranger, but I am enjoying keeping up with your travels so far. I like the photos. It is making me very jealous. I see you have the 550, did you get the entire quad on a chip?
ReplyDeleteSo far so good on your trip. How are the new saddle bags working out for you? Be safe and have another good travel day!
ReplyDeleteIra: Nice to meet you. The Garmin is a 450 (No longer manufactured) I've had it for about 5 years. It has served me well. I don't have the quad on the GPS, but I do have it on my Ipod.
ReplyDeleteJeff: The new hard bags are doing great. A lot more room than my leather bags. I have put a few small scratches on them, but nothing that can't be buffed out when I get home.
