Wife and I did 255 miles yesterday. Went to Edenton, NC. A beautiful town on the Albemarle Sound. Weather was great, except for the wind. Walking around the waterfront and downtown area was nice, On the road, not so nice. Going was ok as the wind was at our back. Some side wind when getting in to open areas. Coming back :shocked:. Headwinds steady @ 10mph with gusts 15-20mph. One gust actually lifted my helmet. Needless to say, Biofreeze was our friend last night. Here's a few pics.

Yes Roger, spring in all it's glory. The clouds of yellow/green pollen, the blue truck that is now covered in thick yellow/green dust, the black boots with the yellow/green dust. We did a flag line for returning airmen today. When the 777 landed a great cloud of pollen kicked up behind it, then when he hit reverse thrust you couldn't see the front of the airplane. But, it's not cold and not snowing. So for the next week or so, we'll put up with the clouds of pollen.

Maybe I should think about going South instead of North.
Here's what you do...
Load the Boa Ski up on a trailer...
Go South, until somebody says, "What the HECK is that thing in your trailer?"
THAT's where you stop! :2thumbs:
