The much looked forward to day finally arrived! Oh what a great feeling to head out of Joplin at 720am going east on I-44! The sun was shining, the air was cool and fresh, God was really blessing me! I made great time going accross southern Missouri on hwy 60, beautiful country. I really like the smell of saw mills, much better than the chicken houses in SW MO. Was fun crossing the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers to get into Kentucky.
Saw a big gathering at the Harley Dealership in Paducah, so thought I'd stop and check it out.
Not nearly as nice a place as Cycle Connection in Joplin. Even saw a Hells Angel in the crowd.

Tennesse is a very pretty part of the country, was a nice part of the trip. So I decided to stop in Nashville. As I was riding down I24 I prayed that God would help me pick the right place to stop. Next thing I know, a storm is brewing and I take the next exit, check into a motel and get my bike on the sidewalk under the awning outside my room and then the rain poured! God is great! Rode 490 miles today. Walked next door for a fabulous Mexican fajhita dinner, then showered off the days sweat, bugs, and dirt.
I think I'll sleep good tonight, and I look forward to tomorrow and hooking up with my old friend.
