Ok, I lost my first posting because I hit the wrong button so now you get the short version.
It's hot here in the desert, also very windy. I may be a bit shorter and lean to the left when the trip is over. This will be due to all the ducking down and leaning left to avoid wind; Dudley is not very big, but any wind block works for me.
Things are a bit slower seeming than when we usually ride, but tomorrow we will start earlier and see if we can make it out of or to the Texas border. I love Texas, but it's very big. Don't tell me to pretend it's a few states, on I-10 it ALL looks the same! Oh and my feet and ankles are swollen.
Doesn't sound like it, but I am enjoying the trip. This neck of the woods is very familiar so I am kind of ho hum about it all, beautiful, but I am anxious to see the as yet unseen.
Lots of spyder curiosity-actually it takes quite a bit of time explaining about its features. Any time we stop there are people with comments, looks, questions; we even seem to overshadow the 2 Harleys riding with us. People are not sure where to get them so we just tell them to look on-line for a dealer. All ages are interested, just like in CA.
No Spyder sightings other than ourselves today. Yesterday we crossed a silver Spyder that was going west; this was before Deming, NM area I think. If it was anyone reading this, please sound out.
We are 2 hours different from our normal time zone so seem to be running behind on everything, including sleep. It is now 11:25 Texas time and we need to get some sleep.
