Some times the Ramada Inn sets up a WUI between the parking lot and the front entrance.
I'll put a rock in the side door-- door jam for you.

The best times in Chicago and Maggie Valley were in the nightly parking lot meetings.

Looks like you're having a good time already. Nice choice in hot sauce, by the way. I love that stuff!

Extreme hot weather forecasted across the Mojave Desert during Durango. Take frequent water breaks and body breaks. Do not sip water! Your body is a radiator. Cover up! When you are sweating you're ok. When you stop sweating, you are not. Advise lady passengers no sandals and no shorts. Travel with another bike when possible. Please drive safely and good luck on resting.

Good, important advice.
