The Adventure Begins

The Adventure Begins

After a week of long days and nights working in the garage, goodbye parties and hugs, we finally finished the last minute prep and hit the road. It's amazing how long it takes to outfit a motorcycle for world travel, refine packing lists, figure out where all your belonging will fit and what to put them in and then at the end of all that, where to put it on the bike! It was a stressful process at times, but in the end I think we did a pretty good job. Once we hit the road we soon realized how much heavier the bikes were and immediately started thinking about things to give away at our first stop.

It's day four now, I'm sitting at a Waffle House outside of Nashville, TN. The sounds of dishes and waitresses shuffling about fills the space and faint rays of sun cut through the clouds. It's starting to sink in that I'm doing this. The daily routine of packing and unpacking gear, sleeping in new places and covering miles on the road is starting to feel normal. It's a great feeling, one that I've been working towards for a long time. Although we've only covered ground from DC to Nashville, we've already experienced so many different people and places. From country grocery stores in rural Virginia, to truck stops in Knoxville Tennessee, the daily life routines are there to observe and enjoy. It's going to be an adventure! Next stop is Little Rock, Arkansas on our way to Santa Fe!
