Finally!

On Friday I'm leaving for Bloomington, IL. After an overnight (note to self: make a reservation) I'll be up early Saturday morning to head for San Antonio, TX. Will be visiting my son for a couple of days. Hoping to make a Saddle Sore 1000 out of the trip, 1000 miles in 24 hours on the motorcycle. Yes, I have Anti-Monkey Butt powder (that is the name of the product.)

Have to be in Houston on Thursday, 9/24 to pick up Sis at HOU, then we visit our Aunt. Back to HOU the following Monday. Tuesday heading east along the Intercoastal to New Orleans. I will stay 2 nights in the French Quarter, $50 hotel + $28 parking. Figured since I'm solo I don't want to walk 10 or 12 blocks from the Quarter to a hotel in NOLA.

Then north across Lake Pontacharain and on to Memphis where I'll meet an internet acquaintance at Gus's Fried Chicken. He's even offered me a room for the night, might take advantage of the invite.

Afterward I'll be meandering northward along the Mississippi River finally arriving in Pine Bluff, WI on 10/4 for the fall Slimey Crud Run. Guess I'd better get packing!
