The Road Less Traveled

motorcycle adventures 1 Minute

Yesterday was a long day of riding as I had to get to the Indian Dealership in Hattiesburg, MS for a rear suspension alignment – not my rear end, the Indian Motorcycle’s thank you very much.  The amount of stuff I was carrying was too heavy or as my daughter, Emma informed me, “Dad, you have too much junk in your trunk”.

Even though it was a long ride, one credo of riding is to avoid highways and interstates and look for county roads and byways and the more turns the better.  These roads are more fun and you find interesting sites and adventures.  As these roads are not well mapped or monitored, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.

A loss – This road looked great on the map – Had to turn around and backtrack

A win – This Foal could not have been more than a few weeks old

And, would not let herself get more than a few feet away from Mom

And another win, like riding the Natchez Trace Parkway, this was De Soto National Park in Mississippi.  I miss pronounce it in the video – or maybe it is just my Northeast accent.

Even though it was over 7 hours of riding it was a great day, great sites and adventures.

Returning to the Gulf Coast.  This time in Alabama and Florida.

Keep Wheeling!

  3. Good talking to you this morning. This time the pics came through on my computer. Nice road. I see what you mean by “road less traveled” My guess is, the foal you saw is probably less than a week old. Maybe only 3 or 4 days, especially if he keeps very close to Mama.

    So happy everything is going well for you on your big trip. Stay safe!
