The Adventure Begins

We left home in early afternoon all packed up and setting our sights on a new adventure. We headed northwest ending in Perry, FL at a Days Inn for the night. We had hoped to get to Crawfordsville and stay at a place that our friends Paul & Diane Andberg had stayed on their trip to Biloxi, MS earlier in the year, but we didn't make it that far. This was the perfect destination for our first night on the the road. We went 200 miles for this first day.

The roads were amazing once we got over to the northwest corner of Florida. Our route was 44w to I-75N to 27W to 27A to 98N. Alternate 27 and 98 were wonderful! There were times that Ted and I were the only ones on the road. Beautiful 4 lane roads and no traffic! We really enjoyed the ride.

When we secured our room for the night, we unpacked the bikes (thank goodness our bikes were right outside our room) and washed off the bugs. Then we walked over to a little Italian restaurant right next door and had some of the best salads we've ever had. We fell into bed tired last night, but happy that our adventure has begun.
