Greetings from Wetumpka, AL, which is just outside of Montgomery. I decided to take a day off to rest a pained knee, do some laundry, and relax. I neglected to take any photos at Phish or Bonnaroo and only a dozen or so on the road, but I attached a few anyhow. Bonnaroo was loads of fun, and it was nice to be surrounded by people, drink beer, and not ride a bike for a change. We managed to get my bike into the festival even though they aren't allowed because the police gave us a full search (looking for drugs [View Full Entry]

We left Baton Rouge early this morning in order to get a good start on the day. We drove the hour to New Orleans and decided to look around the le Quartier Francais. First, however, we stopped at the information center so that we wouldn't be too lost as we ambled the streets. The guy was EXTREMELY nice and helpful, our first taste of true "Southern hospitality" (although maybe it actually began in Baton Rouge with our friendly waitress at Cracker Barrel). The man gave me a lot of hints and places that we needed to go to get a good [View Full Entry]

Hello all, So we left New Mexico for San Antonio, and WOW the ride was unbearable. Okay, the landscape like I've said a hundred times is unreal, but after a while you kind of get it and just want to be in a different state. It took us around 12 hours to get from Albuquerque, NM to San Antonio, Texas. The place we stayed in San Antonio was great, it was a Crown Plaza and we got it for so cheap it almost didn't seem to make any sense. Unfortunately, we got there really late, so we were kind of out [View Full Entry]

Hi Y'all (yep Ive picked it up) Installment from Alabama below. Being on course and in Athens Georgia, the weekends have given me a chance to get away. I was caught speeding on the way to Athens which I talked my way out of 75 miles in a 55 mile zone to which I pleaded Aussie... the State Trooper who told me "We Dont Speed in Georgia Maám" gave me a warning so I have been more mindful of my speeding (somewhat).On 9 Jan I headed to Montgomery and Birmingham Alabama in order to begin my Civil rights trail journey of [View Full Entry]

Hi all, I am in Montgomery - the capital of Alabama, in one of those quick passing-through transits. We did a highlight tour of some key interests of the city, including the State Capitol and the Civil Rights Museum which is famous for Maya Lin's black granite memorial in front of the building (Maya Lin is the designer of Washington DC's controversial Vietnam Memorial). You know what they say about Alabama - where the skies are blue! Until the next time, - Cy [View Full Entry]

We finally got out of Florida today just as the first band of Ike hit the Panhandle. We were in Florida for 2 1/2 days geocaching! Hey, we have the time and we aren't ones to resist caching. Got an email today that our cruise itinerary has changed in that they have taken away the stop in Petropavlovsk, Russia. Dang it! I really wanted to go to Russia! I'm hoping that they will find another place to go along the route so that we won't be missing a stop somewhere. Angkor Wat sounds good to us! Tomorrow should find us in [View Full Entry]

OK, What a long drive. My first leg was almost 700 Miles, which landed me in Blue Ridge GA. First the good news, The scenery was Beautiful!!. Now the bad news. Since I decided to take all back roads, there wasn't any where to pull over and get the spectacular shots of the landscape, but not to worry, we still have a good 12 to 14 days left on this trip. I will be posting a few images that I thought were interesting. Just click on the images to view them larger. I'm sure that tomorrow will yield a great crop [View Full Entry]
