Going away gifts
I received a very nice brass compass from a friend with the note that it was to help keep me from getting lost. I also received a new guardian bell for my bike from a very special friend, to help keep me safe on the road. In addition to the bell, I was given a rain cover for my backpack and a emergency tire plug and inflation kit. Thank you very much for these gifts. They mean a lot to me. Also a big thanks to my buddy from work for lending me his Sprint hotspot so that I can get connected to the Internet when there is no wifi available.
Saying goodbye to my son
I am currently stopped for the night in Haskell, TX. It was a hot ride this afternoon with frequent stops to get some cold water and cool off. As I was sitting here writing this, I heard a motorcycle pull up outside. I went out and met Luke. He is from Las Vegas and on his way to Longview, TX. His ride is a Triumph.
We talked for a while and he gave some tips on places to stay and a great route through NM on my way to Tempe. This is one of the many great things about traveling. You meet all kinds of interesting and nice people. Its been a good first day. Tomorrows goal is to try and make it to Roswell, NM.
sounds like a great trip. Makes me want to get on my bike and go for a trip
