Mike and Bill met me at the house for an 8 am departure. Instead of going around Dallas we rode through on I30. Big mistake! Even early on a Saturday morning traffic was bad and some of the drivers in cars were down right rude with their driving. We got off the 30 in Rockwall. The rest of the ride to Tiffany's was very pleasant.
We arrived early and had has nice walk around the grounds while it was still cool out.
After a tasty Reuben it was time for Pie. Bill and I had Blueberry and Mike had German Chocolate Pie. The Pie was great.
Have you ever felt like this?
Tire kicking after lunch
After lunch Mike head back home and Bill and I continued towards Louisiana on the back roads of East Texas. I have posted pictures of this before but this still fascinates me and Bill had never stopped at "The Border" before. The border of the Republic of Texas and the United States. It is the only international border marker within the boundaries of the US.
Today would be a little different. When we pulled in to the marker there were a couple kids in a car doing what Sheldon on the Big Bang theory would refer to as coitus. We startled them pretty good when we pulled in on the bikes.
We quickly took our pictures and got back on the road for Natchitoches.
We rolled into the Super 8 hot and hungry after a hot humid ride across East Texas.
After cleaning up we headed to Papa's for some seafood and a beer for dinner.
After dinner we went for a walk before heading back to the Super 8.
We both hit the hay pretty early so we could get an early start to beat the heat. We got on the road about 7:30. It was 78 with 100% humidity when we left for home. We a had a great ride home. I only took one photo on the ride home.
