Aussie Annie

To Gloria, Heather and families Alan and I send our sincere condolences and prayers to you all at this time

Okay, today was to be a long one. Left Wichita Falls @ 8am and headed to Albuquerque,NM. Weather was cooler, and no rain. Passed through Amarillo,TX around noon, and finally arrived in Albuquerque at 6 pm. We are spending two nights here, so can let body relax a little

Glad you had a good time with this one:big-grin-emoticon:

We left Cleveland,TX around 7am and had a good run till we hit rain getting around Dallas. Weather good for rest of afternoon, and arrived in Wichita Falls at 3pm. Tomorrow we head for Albuquerque,NM

Looks great Bobbie

Our last day with Lonna & Brad. Lonna cooked biscuits and gravy for breakfast Yum! Santa Hal and his lovely wife Val called by for a visit then we ended the day with Gumbo and cheesecake for supper...... Thank you Lonna We have enjoyed our time here in Texas, but now it's time to start the journey back to Utah, to leave Alan's bike. Then on to Portland. Up at 6am.... So night all

Honored Gunboat today with a great group of Texas Venture Riders. Squidley led the ride, and we enjoyed it, and the company very much. Alan found a piece of wire in his back tire, so rode passenger with me. Later in the afternoon Brad came in with the trailer and loaded the 1st Gen, and we went back to their house. Alan and he then repaired the tire.... And spent time tinkering on the bike. Thanks for a nice day

Have fun all of you. And Tom........ Squidley got the coffee

Thank you for celebrating Don's life today

Alan and I rode with Squidley, Sweetnothing, and a wonderful bunch of Texas Venture Riders to honor Don Cumpston " Gunboat" today. I think he would have enjoyed the company, conversation, and the ride. R.I.P. MY FRIEND

Holy cow!! That came out of left field

Left Tyler,TX and headed for The Motor Trike factory in Troup. They treated us so nice and gave my trike a full inspection, which took a good hour. Gave me a gift too. Hot riding today! Arrived in Cleveland in the early evening, and went to dinner with Squidley and Sweetnothing. Thanks Brad & Lonna

Okay, we rode from N'Orleans to Shreveport today. Got caught in a light storm, but soon dried out. Alan and I had a Chinese meal for dinner, then decided to have a couple of drinks in the local bar near the hotel. What a great night had me a few White Russian drinks. but got to talk to several of the locals and that was fun. Great discussions and lots of laughs

Sounds like a plan Taters

Sorry bloke

Yesterday we enjoyed a lunch cruise on the paddle steamboat "Natchez" on the Mississippi. Then a stroll around the French Quarter before having some dinner. Alan tried Jambalaya and I had the catfish. Today we went into town after lunch and got on the tour bus. The whole thing takes 11/2 hours, and we heard all the history of New Orleans. Then we had dinner at " The Gumbo Pot" Alan decided blackened steak was in order, and I had a combination meal of three traditional things: jambalaya, beans & rice, and gumbo. Very yummy! Tried the local bread pudding too (shared with 'Im) The drinkies were yummy too, had several Lynchburg Lemonades The big fella tried the local Bloody Mary. Then we walked up and down Bourbon Street. Some of the street performers were good.

Look up "Aussie Swag" They have one on Amazon

Rode from Baton Rouge to Hammond H-D to get a new front tyre on the trike. Missed some more crappy weather while there. Went the long way round to New Orleans.... Covington to Slidell and then over the longest causeway I've ever ridden on. The sunset was just amazing. Going to do a city bus tour tomorrow, and finish off in the French Quarter. It's predicted to have storms again in the Arvo....... But fingers crossed.
