Snow won't stop us

These are the adventures of Rick and Deb, the Wandering the Americas tour - 2009

We are riding together on an '08 BMW R1200 GS Adventure named Bear (This is a motorcycle - for you non-biker types) We are camping in a Big Agnes - Big House 6 tent, using Big Agnes insulated air mattresses, and Bear is really loaded up.

We left Indianapolis IN USA about 2:30p with Bear loaded up and tied down in the back of the Toyota Truck. Star came with us to drive the truck back to Indy when we decided we had gone far enough south to run out of the snow and cold. We drove to Elizabethtown KY, got a room at the Motel 6. Very spartan accommodations but reasonably clean. The whole area had been through a nasty ice storm, with many folks still without power. There was a boil water order for the general area. Filled up the truck and Bear with fuel, said goodbye to Star, and we went across the road to Shoney's to eat supper. Back to hotel for night. This was at least a start to the journey.
