5 days and down the road. Had to shorten it a few days but 17 days is still a good ride. Most of our trips have no purpose other than go. This time we have some people to visit. Few place to see again.
Clarksville TN, Valdosta GA, Palm Coast FL. spend some time visiting and riding the area. Savannah GA. Visit Glynco GA. Spartanburg SC kill a day , Gatlinburg TN . Spend time riding a place we love to ride. Bloomington IL then back to WI. I have not been back to Glynco GA in 49 years. I need to see the place one more time. The base is no longer there.
Rig is inspected and ready to roll. Put new sidecar tire on. Wife started packing already. I can pack and be out the door in 15 minutes. If we get the chance we will cut out a day early and take the long way to Clarksville TN. Parts of the trip have short distances for the day so we can detour if we want to. And I know we will.
All lodging has been taken care of well in advance. I did add a fair amount to the fuel part of the budget. This trip was setup last year and things have changed a bit.
If you have time when in the Savannah area maybe we could meet up for lunch/Dinner or just a cup of coffee.

As trip progress I will post when we will be there. Check in Savannah midday the 18th. leave the next day but only a 250 mile ride to make that day so we have a lot of time.
Day 1 was 627.5 mile to Clarksville TN. A great ride. Day two 525 miles to Valdosta GA another great day. Day 3 was only 200 miles. But it took us about 320 to get there . Went off on a different route. In Ormond Beach FL staying on the beach.
glad to hear the trip is going good, did you get caught in any of the bad weather we had in the area yesterday
We have had no bad weather. Missed it all. Even the heat was not bad. Decided to ride through Atlanta. I knew better but did it anyway.
That is one messed up city.
Today was a couple hundred miles of riding to and from with an Air boat ride thrown in. Stopped at Midway near Titusville FL for the air boat ride.
Hit some rain drops and killed a bunch of love bugs.
nice shot of the sunset, weather heading back this direction looks good, only chance of rain around here is for Tue. late afternoon to evening.
Last nights full moon before it hidden behind clouds
nice, I tried to see it but it stayed hidden behind the clouds here
I wanted to try out my new toy and get a few pics of it, what did you take that shop with
NIkon B500 40X 3/4 zoom auto focus. I could not get the eclipse due to cloud cover that moved in.
Had the pleasure of meeting up with ACE and his wife last night in Savannah GA. We enjoyed a great meal and conversation.
Woke up to forecast of Mountain Thunderstorms in the afternoon. We took a ride out New found Gap to just short o Cherokee NC. dodged a few storms hung up on the mountain . Turned back. When to lunch in Pigeon Forge Then back to Gathlinburg just as the rain was starting.
On our way back we did have a close encounter with an Elk. We of course slowed to a stop and granted it the right of way.
Bob, please do a write up of your trip, with photos, for the Sidecarist. Many of our members will never see your photos and story here. They prefer reading a printed page.
