Day 1

Day 1

We got a late start.... but, rather make sure we have everything and pack it right, than rush, and possibly forget something.  We didn't get into a grove much today. Everything is new... Haven't ridden this hard core since 2015. 

We made some wrong turns... looked for a hotel forever it seemed like. In my head I expected to be in a hotel by 7 pm getting ready to chill, but, we had a hard time finding a room.  Thank goodness we hit the time change already! It will make tomorrow a little easier. 

We went about 540 miles today. we did make some good time when we were riding.... 

Trying to find a hotel was a chore, we went to 4 different towns looking for a room. Everything was full. We finally found  a room  in Hammond, IN at the Comfort Inn. 1 room for the 3 of us. A room with 2 double beds.  
it was about a 1/2 hour ride to get to the hotel.When we found the place and checked in.
The gentleman said that he upgraded us!!!!! 

Yeah!!! The first Blessing of the trip... I call it the Magic ... I'm always grateful!!!

Here is our picture of our luggage loaded on the luggage cart.


Here is our room!!!!
our unexpected  upgraded room!!!
The hotel also has a hot breakfast in the morning. So we will make sure to get some good nutrition in the AM. We didn't really eat that much today... Mike and I split a piece of pizza... and we had White Castle for dinner.... 

I have triangle sunburn on both   wrists. and sunburn on my face. not too bad.  forgot to put on sunscreen today... I have it unpacked to put on tomorrow.  I carry 85 with me. I can't believe I forgot to put it on...   

We are going to try for St Cloud Minn Tomorrow. I think it's about 500 Miles from here to there. 

Goodnight... It's Past Midnight...
