goodby Duncan Donuts
Howdy all - Well this morning we broke out our clean shirts, undies and did some hair washing - yes we are definitely styling now - one of the beauties of traveling is no one sees you in the same outfit day after day!!!! The weather was a bit cooler but nice and sunny. We basically took rt 22 West across into Ohio. Now this is one sweet road - well except for an unexpected tour of Pittsburgh City. Hell while we were trying to figure out where we were we took some pictures and tried to look like this is what we planned!!! Once we got back on track it was just a great road - farms, hills, mountains, a random lake, and, except when you went through the towns, the speed limit was 60 - very sweet indeed. Oh yes....then that damn wind picked up, the sun went away and old Gustov came raining down on us. Waaaa!!!! Ok so we pulled off to put on our foul weather gear and Big Dog - this is why I love him - gave me options...... spend the day in the corn field or plug onward - being I am a city girl at heart I figured the corn field was out!!! haha - we ran into rain throughout the day but managed to get to Wilmington Ohio about 50 miles shy of Cincinnati. Not too bad. We put about 250 miles on the hogs and if it rains tonight possibly it could wash them off - they are not looking too good right now. Its real pretty here but I think we have run out of Duncan Donuts - gulp where am I going to get my coffee??? Well it looks like Hanna might impact the Carolinas - batten down the hatches and be safe - love and miss you all Soggy flame and drippy big dog.Oh yes one of these days we will try to figure out how to get the pictures on it but right now there is a drink calling our names - thanks for your comments I love reading them -

It looks like you guys picked the perfect time to start out. We're getting pretty soaked here, but at least we're not on the road. If you play your cards right, you might be able to miss the front that is coming through. Riding wet sucks! I gave Dad the blog address and he said that he would try to find it. If not, I will keep him posted on your progress. Have you passed the Mississippi River yet? How are the roads out that way? Did you see any cow skulls? Watch out for buzzards overhead. Mighty large poop! Ride safe, keep the dirty side down. See you soon. Love U's
Aunt Joanne! Its you nephew in Orlando! (hence the screen name I chose to post here!) Thanks for the card! This is great, your riding across America and posting blogs about it. How awesome. Hell, it hurts to ride my sportbike 210 miles downsouth let alone across the States! My back is sore after an hour! MAybe its time to trade it in for a Hog.....take care, have a great time. -Davey
