The Bear Necessities/ Oh, Hell hath fury.

It's a challenge deciding what to bring with you for the next month of your life. I luckly got it down to the things I could not live without, the bear necessities, if you will. Believe me I have gotten so crazy looks on the road. and I quote: "I seen a lot of things in my day, boy. I been to three state fairs and a rodeo and I ain't never seen a damn bicycle strapped to the back of a motorcycle." End Quote. This guy in MS kept blown fuses on his HD and had narrowed the problem down to a pinched wire in the throttle where he had just installed new CHROME covers. Chrome is a killer, every time.




So apparently I am much better and riding a motorcycle than I am about stopping and updating this blog. It is Sunday the 26th and I am almost to St. Louis.

Yesterday was very, FULL, is the word I am looking for. I started out at around 8:30 from New Orleans and followed Hwy 61 up to Natchez, MS. I decided to wind my way to the western side of the river and crossed two wonderful old bridges and popped in and out of LA and MS more times than I care to remember. I covered a grand total of 500 miles which I wasn't sure I'd be able to do considering I haven't been on a motorcycle for more than a few miles in months. I hit Memphis, TN at sundown and rolled into a KOA just in time to set up my tent. I was so tired that I hit the mat and fell out quick. The lady who I reserved the camping spot from said it "may rain" later on but that it never flooded there before so I should be safe. I am pretty sure she was high on crack at the time cause there was a thunderstorm that sounded like hell was opening up and deciding on earth. I really wish I had my camera in the tent cause it would have made for some wicked photos. The rain stopped at around 5 Am and I slept for a few hours. The next morning I emerged from my little cave to find that I was set up in the only dry spot in the entire place. The spot next to me was not as lucky.



I am eating just south of ST. L and am very curious about what today has in store for me.
Photos are on their way. Long story!
