Day2
Sept 9, 2010
313 miles
Good night's sleep at Bullwinkles. Not raining when we left at 0730, but 20 miles down the road we were stopping to put on our rain gear. Rode in light rain through the Missouri bootheel and into Tennessee. We saw a lot of cotton fields. One person in the group said they had only seen cotton on Farmville!
Put the rain suits away after lunch and had a very nice afternoon of riding, haven't used any sun screen yet. Met quite a few log trucks on the road, and enjoyed the smell of freshly sawn wood. Stopped at the Harley Davidson dealership in Columbia, TN for a while. I personally think Cycle Connection in Joplin has a way better selection of everything. It is apprently custumary to visit HD dealers along the way.
I have gotten to know all the folks riding with us, a good bunch! We checked into our motel in Tullahoma, TN and ate at a local fish fry place called Uncle Bud's. Yum! Best hushpuppies and shrimp I've tasted.
Tomorrow we head to Lynchburg for the distillery tour and Miss Mary Bobo's, and then to Memphis. Will it rain again?
