I Outran the Storm! Phew!!

Because of the cold last night, I only got a couple of hours of sleep. It was somewhere around 35-40°F this morning, so of course I put on all of my heated gear before I rolled out at around 0630.

My first stop was to scour a field for anything left over from an old abandoned drive-in movie theater. All I found were foundations. 😔

Then it was off to Pueblo and Colorado Springs for the Harley dealerships. I also picked up three Tour of Honor stops for Colorado.

By the time I got to Cheyenne Wells, I was crazy hot, so I stopped at a little park I got out of my heated gear. I forgot the Southwest Colorado is like Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma: flat, hot, and dusty. With so little sleep it was really hard to stay awake this afternoon. I don't think I was actually asleep, but I lost about 50 miles while I was headed to Oklahoma 🫣. More sleep tonight.

For dinner, I had a not so good, $9 hot dog on an oversized bun at one of my Ride to Eat locations, which is sitting like a stone in my gut now 🤢. I'm tucked into the corner of a closed motel in Shamrock, TX. I don't think headlights will hit me, so I should be good. I'm just really glad I'm dry. That was a massive front with horrible winds, and I was blasting down the road despite the speed limit to try to beat it. I did, just, but I did 😁.

Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️
