On The Road Again, Part 2

I'm back!, and on the road again for the second part of this year's Harley trip. Willie and I had a big and long day. With 18 stops not including gas, it was dark by the time we reached the hotel in Galveston, but it was great being back on the bike.

With mostly cloudy skies, we left Emory, TX, at 08:30 in already warm weather. Later in the day, my app told me it was 92°F. I didn't look again 🥵, but I never took off the chaps or vest. The clouds burned away almost too fast, and it was sunshine most of the day.

I hadn't gone far when I had to make a u-turn...to look at the zebras! Wait, what? I know right?! Yes, zebras! They're near Overton, TX, at Bowles Creek Store. I love Texas 🇨🇱 (imagine the blue goes all the way down).

I also saw several herds of Longhorn, some with calves. The little ones are so dang cute. The rest of the day was stopping for photos at dealerships and the MCGTTX stops, and with 9 each, I knocked out a bunch. Yippee!

But it took a long time, plus I hit Houston at rush hour, so I didn't get to the hotel until just after 21:00. Luckily, there is a gas station next door with Gatorade (rehydrate), fruit (breakfast), and a can of Beanie Wienies (dinner but I didn't eat the wienies; I'm off red meat for a while...although I'm not sure I would call them red meat...or meat even 😉).

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️
