And We're Off

So we look a little like The Clampett's going down the road with everything piled on, but hey, you gotta have stuff!  Warm clothes in one side bag, summer clothes in the other, my leather riding jacket in the bag on top along with the computer and all other various and sundry jacket and pants liners and rain suits.  ONLY 2 pairs of shoes, that's gotta be a record for me!  And NO HIGH HEELS!  It was really a test to leave the Stuart Weitzman's at home.  Very painful.  

The ride was rather chilly at first (for me) but warmed up quickly.  North of Sweetwater the most beautiful mesas appeared along with the really artful wind farms.  The wind generators are so majestic and there are thousands of them!   I took pictures but something is wrong with my format....gotta look into that.

Then the sunflowers patches south of Lubbock were beautiful and that was the last of the scenic beauty until the thunderstorm started rolling in across the plains.  

Lots of well wishers along the way wondering where we are going.  

No problems unless you count the turn signal that started flashing rapidly at 6AM this morning.   Gotta look into that tomorrow.  

The song for today is......On The Road Again by Willie Nelson......what else?
