Looking at google maps, I realized that going to Key West from West Palm Beach would take me more than 4 hours, and then I would have to either find a motel there or come back. The price of the motel quickly suggested that the motel option was pretty expensive, with a night around USD200,00. Going […]
After the daily morning routine, I went to the reception to give the keycard back and while drinking some coffee I started a quick conversation with the manager on duty (or owner?) about the result of the elections. It’s funny to compare the various opinions, and that manager’s was pretty different from the friend from […]
Woke up early, went for my morning waking-up shower, packed everything, and rode downtown to take some picture of Savannah, which I had not seen that much the night before, thanks to focusing on drinking without eating much 🙂 Savannah is definitely a nice little town, with quite some charm. However, I had to realize that today […]
Waking up early, and breakfast not being included at the Budget Inn, I was ready to go around 8:30am, and heading toward Charlotte, my GPS warned twice about some traffic jam, so I realized I might just be riding during the morning rush hour. I had not really done my homework about what was to be seen […]
Plan for the day was to reach Charlotte. The tracking path above doesn’t include the portion between Nashville and Cookeville because I probably forgot to start the app or begin tracking. If I leave the app on, it ends sucking all my battery in less than a day, so I use to switch it off […]
Day started with the usual camper morning routine: wake up, shower, oatmeal, packing, leaving. The guy that had parked his car (and slept in it) on the tent site besides me at night – and then moved to the following site after I started my little campfire, I guess he didn’t like fires (or smoke) – had […]
Today is Saturday 19th of November. That’s quite a jump from the diary, because I’m quite late with the updates, but this is not a diary post, just a little break with a few thoughts. I’ll get back to the diary in next post. One hour ago, more or less, I discussed with a couple of bikers that […]
Chatted with two older women – one with a strong accent I could barely understand – that were leaving the motel at the same time I was packing stuff on the bike. Just the usual chit-chat, ending with ride safe. It’s funny how many people are curious and wondered about this trip I’m doing. Obviously it’s […]
So the goal for this day was to go more or less half the way to Memphis. I had the option to stop at a campground in a small city south of the I-40, and I had thought of Mena, AK initially, but on a stop at a gas station yesterday, an older woman had […]
I forgot to mention in my last post the impressive number of wind turbine before and after Amarillo. The following picture doesn’t do it justice, but I think they are in the 2-3 hundred range – at least the ones I saw – spread on different areas, often inlined with one another, but still turning at different speed.
