Four days and counting…
Greetings,
We are headed off for a 12 day, 2700 mile road trip to the desert Southwest on Friday, August 14th. We plan to drive a comfy 2006 Honda Accord Hybrid with a sunroof and tow a small trailer carrying a 1989 Yamaha XS 1100 Midnight Special motorcycle. We’ll drive the long, hot stretches in the car and use the bike for the local roads. Unless we get fed up with each other.
We’re going to try a “dual” voice on some posts - an approach we’ve learned from friends Bob & Nancy McDermand of San Hosay (sic). Nancy drives the support car while Bob rides his fancy bike to Iowa every few years.
On some days, Ray (my significant other) will offer his perceptions and version of the days events right along with mine! Look for blog posts from Las Vegas, Zion National Park, Colorado Rockies, Santa Fe, Sedona and Scottsdale. We have yet to determine which route we’ll take on our way home to the Central Coast of California from Scottsdale. My significant other has outgrown Disneyland (too bad), so Anaheim is out. Maybe via Pasadena. I haven’t taken a long road trip since the 1980s. I’m really looking forward to this one.
See you in the funny papers,
Penny “Motorcycle Mama” Mudd
