On 29 May 08, we started our journey back to Texas from Michigan. Matt said he would drive until he got tired, then turn the wheel over to me. He got tired when we got home to Wichita Falls. This is the first trip I have gone to Michigan & not driven..It is rougher sitting passenger than driver...But, we had a blast up there & enjoyed being with everyone. I am looking to driving the motorcycle up there in October, not only to see everyone but also to ride with Bob. We have never had the
opportunity to do that..So, until October,
ya'll be safe & those of you who have bikes, keep the rubber on the road. REMEMBER: if you want to see the picture bigger, click on the picture...
Matt checking stuff as we gas up across from the
Dunkin Donuts on Ford Rd/I-275 in Canton Michigan.

WB I-94.

Michigan State trooper doing his job in I-94...And business was good!!
Matt settling in for the long haul..He did a great job..
Southbound on I-69 in Michigan heading for Indiana.
The Indiana State Line on I-69 from Michigan.
Established on I-70 in Indiana.
The Indiana State Trooper's car that told us that we were parked in a handicapped zone. We looked hard at the ground & almost couldn't see the
wheelchair emblem, it was faded so bad. Plus they had no sign posted. In Texas, this wouldn't of been enforceable, but I told Matt we weren't in Texas, so he moved the car. The Trooper was nice & didn't write us up.
The new stadium in Indianapolis.
Another shot of the new stadium in Indianapolis. That thing was immense!
The Illinois State Line on I-70 from Indiana.
An unmarked Illinois Highway Patrol car with either a ride along or prisoner in the front seat.
The Arch in St. Louis, "The Gateway To The West''.
The Arch in St. Louis as we approach from the East.
The Mighty Mississippi River. I thought that was the Admiral on the left on the other side of the other bridge.
The Casino Boats at the base of the Arch on the Mississippi River
The Arch from the Missouri side of the Bridge
Busch Stadium, home to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Westbound on I-44 through the Ozarks.

A flatbed hauling 3 Hummers on I-44 at dusk.
Night time on Westbound I-44 in the Ozarks.
The last pic taken on the trip. We stopped in Joplin Missouri for the final gas up, on
Rangeline Road at the
Conoco. So I took this of the Motel sign..We made it in Wichita Falls at exactly 3 a.m., 18 hours after leaving Bob's in Michigan. I stayed up and ran around paying a few bills on the motorcycle. I sat on the couch at 12:15 p.m. and Janice woke me up at 9 p.m. Nice little nap!!!! Till next post,
cya later.................John
