Tuesday we rode from New Castle up to Philadelphia, Toured Independence Hall and saw the Liberty Bell, then Headed South toward Washington DC Doris took a couple of pics of the Liberty Bell...The second has Independence Hall in the Background. I was hungry and found Mom's..voted best of Philly Cheese Steaks(by someone) But it seemed like a good time to try one. W e took the tour of Independence Hall, where the Continental Congress met and wrote and approved the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. The Penn. Supreme Courtroom, the First US Supreme Court also used this room, and issued its first decision here.

June 15 Spartanburg SC to Durham NC

Image
I borrowed my Dad's SPOT tracker for the trip, and turned it on today, it sends a gps location each 10 minutes or so, here is the route we rode today. We took it slower today since we got an earlier start...around 8 or so, and we made it the 215 or so miles to Durham by about 1:30 with a few water/ break stops. For more about Spot trackers see www.findmespot.com Here is a pic of Doris and the Bike with the Welcome to North Carolina sign in the background. Just a pic Doris took from the bike along the way today Jeff on the bike in front of a apartment complex, which is not the one that Laura lives in...lol Any way it was a good day with no incedents, Doris took a few other pics from the bike, but we didnt see anything of real interest, as we were more or less trying to get here before it got too hot...It was still over 90 for the last hour to hour and a half. We will take Laura and her roommates out to dinner tonight, then in the morning will make the run down to top sail beach. BTW...

July 2 - to Durham

Image
Today we rode west to Durham to visit Laura again. I set the Gps to "avoid highways" so we took a little longer, but found some nice country roads...rural farms etc. Nice to look at compared to the highway. We didnt get any pics today, but we got in in time and I rounded up oil and a filter and got that chore taken care of so we are ready for the next part of the trip. I got up Saturday morning and started messing with the bike trying to figure out the problem with the Air Horn...(I had ordered a new one and had it shipped to Laura) ..turns out is wasnt the horn but the "relay" which the new horn had in the kit, so I got that fixed as well. (Man I really could have used that horn a couple of times)..oh well. Sunday I fly home for a week, then Back next Saturday. We may leave Sunday mid day, and head over to Kitty Hawk, then we want to hit DC, Philadelphia, and Gettysburg, and from there we will see., 3650 Miles so far Jeff
