Thanks (again) for the chortles and laughs. And inspiration. I'm setting out tomorrow here in the northwest US where we are deep in Junuary waiting for real summer for a few days of thinly planned moto camping. Maybe there's a painted lady corn dog in the future, who knows? Looking forward to the video of your southern journey!
Made that trip with the wife about four years ago now. Though we were pulling a camper. The bike would have been nicer.
I made sure to drag the trip out hitting the mounds and other historical sites. Made a really big mistake of walking a short distance on The actual old trail in shorts. Which of course, led to a week of suffering chiggers on our ankles and calves. Much fun.glad you didn’t run into that. Could only imagine having itching calves and ankles inside of hot riding boots.
Good story and is very accurate from my experience.
This was a hoot! Like a chapter of “Innocents Abroad.” Where did you camp in TN, Merriwether Lewis? I did a Delta tour on the bike a couple of years ago and we camped in Houston MS at a place called Stinkin’ Jim’s Horse Camp. Not bad except they had about a hundred dogs that barked all night.
Your daughters should send you evil clown pictures when you are on the road.

Yup - Merriwether Lewis. Stinkin' Jim's sounds more interesting!
I really like the way you explain things, feels like we are there.
I actually should have been there earlier this spring😮💨.
Right now, I'm in Dégelis Quebec, riding the TQT, 5 days left before going back home.
It's kinda fun to read about your yesterday when I pack for my ride of the day.
Time to load the CRF...
Thanks
