I’ve been planning a motorcycle trip for two months, and tonight am on the eve of it.<\/p>\n
There have been some inevitable last-minute changes.\u00a0 Originally I was going to ride from Tucson to Flagstaff via back roads, spend the night in Flag, then ride on to Vegas.\u00a0 But it’s snowing in Flagstaff, so I’m trailering the motorcycle instead.\u00a0 And since it no longer makes sense to go via Flagstaff (I didn’t want to drive on those beautiful mountain roads, I wanted to ride them), I canceled my reservation there and will drive straight from Tucson to Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
Since I’m trailering, I can take more of Polly’s stuff up to her.\u00a0 The back of my car is stuffed with boxes.\u00a0 Apart from a bed and a gas grill we’re giving her, and which I don’t have room for this trip, that’s the last of her stuff, which means she’s officially grown up.<\/p>\n
But back to the road trip.\u00a0 Tomorrow morning I’ll strap the motorcycle down on the trailer and drive to Vegas.\u00a0 While in Vegas I’ll be staying at Polly’s apartment.\u00a0 Of course I’ll be visiting the kids and grandkids, but mostly I’ll be away on day rides to Laughlin (the annual River Run is this weekend), Death Valley, maybe even Utah (depending on how energetic I feel).\u00a0 I’ll put the bike back on the trailer and drive home Tuesday.<\/p>\n
So . . . I’m on the road, and will check in when I can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
