That road was a possibility for the scooters. Had Paul ridden his Ducati 1198 we would have had to turn around…

Simple. I take them and find out where they go.

It’s a little more amazing that a 150cc scooter was rolling over such nasty terrain. Good on him for touring alongside a 250.

Last count a little of 118K miles of public roads. I don’t think I’ve been on all of them yet. Even so, even at night, keep the gas tank full and keep riding. You’ll eventually see something familiar. Go east and it will be the Atlantic Ocean. West to the Pacific…

Even there I wouldn’t worry. Not like out west where you could get lost, run out of gas, and that’s the end of you.

I would take the extra fuel and water in your part of the world….

And there is an emotional element of being out of control. Life is so regimented anywhere that I steal those out of control moments where I can find them.

I felt that PA was criss-crossed with so many roads that I don’t think I can get anywhere without some sort of guidance. Especially at night…

looks like you had a nice day to explore where you had never been before. Often times what you remember isn’t what it seems, nor is it always the same as it was
