One of the best trips, Left early (May) to beat the heat, first stop in
Joshua Tree NP then spent a couple of days in Organ Pipe Cactus NP.
East to Texas and south to Presidio at the Mexican border then followed
the Rio Grande to Big Bend NP.
Corpus Christie to the Padre Islands where we had a flat tire on
Memorial day weekend! We did manage to find a tire shop in Corpus
Christie that was opened. Took the fairy from Mustang island to
Galveston island. Great campground just by the beach,water was
nice and warm compared to our Pacific coast in Santa Cruz.
On to Lousiana where we spent a few days in New Orleans and did
a boat trip in the Bayous. Headed north on the Natches Trace, the
Kudzu creates amazing shapes to the scenerie. East across Mississipi
and Alabama into Georgia where we spent a few days with family.
Nancy was real proud to show off her new HD Soft Tail.
Rain on the way back true Tennessie, Arkansas, Oklahoma and
Texas Panhandle. The skies finally cleared up in Tucumcari New
Mexico.
Headed south to White Sands and west to Silver City where we spent
a few days riding in the Gilla Mountains then across to Arizona's White
Mountains where we were delayed due to a forest fire. They eventually
let us true with an escort truck in front of us, we could see some low
flames just a few hundred feet from the road.
Down the Coronado trail (hw191) to Clifton then north west to Camp
Verde and eventually to more familiar grounds on old Route 66between
Seligman and Kingman.
