Semi Wild Hogs-Beginning of Road Trip

Websters defines "Wanderlust" as strong or inconquerable longing or impulse toward wandering. I have it- BIG TIME! I love to roam-and do it frequently. So, with two good friends we set out for a good old boys road trip-no reservations, no definite itinerary, sleeping bags and tents and some sport touring motorcycles.
I always put a sign on my bike-it's amazing how many people wave and give a thumbs up. It wouldn't be a normal start without a rain storm. My friend Bruce claims there is no such thing as bad weather-just bad gear. We were prepared.

We try and avoid chain restaurants but if you just want to make time-McDonald's fills the bill. Mickey D's in the morning is great for two reasons-excellent coffee plus the "locals". It is the new General Store where regulars congregate-politics are discussed, jokes are told and BS flies. They are fun!
