I got off early on Friday and, being the smart person I am, I offered to take my wife to Canton, TX for 1st Monday Trade Days. Well, before we got on the road, she decided she wanted to hit the casinos in Shreveport, LA. We stopped at Cracker Barrel for breakfast just outside of Shreveport and, what do I see, a beautiful blue RT in the parking lot. Of course I spent some time admiring it and, when the riders left, they did the same with mine.

We spent the night at Sam's Town, got up Saturday morning and decided we weren't ready to head home. Off to Marksville, LA we go to visit the Paragon Casino. I-49 is a great ride! (except for those sneaky highway patrol guys hiding in the trees) We walk in the front door of the Paragon and what do we see? A brand new RT up for grabs as a jackpot on a 2 cent slot machine.

We spent Saturday night in Natchitoches, LA and then decided to head home. Of course we played 20 questions with the curious people along the way. Even had one Harley rider follow us into a picnic area because "he had always wanted to see one up close".

The weather was great and the Spyder ran great!

Sometimes the best plans are the ones not made!
