100 Degrees...

"100 degrees," the desk clerk said when we checked in this afternoon on the edge of florence, sc. heat index was 116. wish i hadn't known that!

ride is going well. have gone over 2700 miles at this point.

the photo (from the previous post) of us in leather was taken the morning we left bella vista. the other one was taken at my sister's in louisiana. any more photos may have to wait until we get to son john's in arizona, so he can show me how to load and position them.

a few signs i've seen along the way:
  • an ad for eye drops - "it won't make the gas any cheaper, but it'll make your eyes feel better" (timely)
  • holiday inn ad - "kids stay and eat free" (college is on your own)(humor)
  • and, not sure, but think this was for a restaurant - "virgin sturgeon, also untouched bagels" (clever)

    will start riding early tomorrow. paul would like to get north of washington d.c. that's it for today.
