Last day in Cedar Mountain - for a while




Although I'm not leaving until tomorrow, that's moving day so it doesn't really count. Today was my last to do some things & it was a very good day.
Spent the morning drying out my helmet liner. It had to be washed after catching rain water in the gutter yesterday. So did I after wearing it home. It took forever, as it's very absorbent material & my hair dryer is a teeny weeny little thing.
One more trip to Sliding Rock was enjoyable, and I stopped at the hatchery & oogled all the monster fish. At Triple Falls later on, I saw a guy catch another whooper like the one I saw the other day. He caught it on a live worm.
Today I turned over 7000 miles on the Vespa. That's just over a thousand miles in less than a month here. Just can't describe how much I've enjoyed riding here, even though I got wet several times. (Okay, it was more than several.) I'm really getting psyched about riding the Tail of the Dragon & enjoy their website, except for the fatality statistics. Seems like about 4 people a month get killed there and I don't intend to be one of them. They do state what they think was the cause of the wreck, so that's helpful.
Dinner with a new friend didn't work out, so I'm doing laundry & getting ready to move on tomorrow. Don't know what communications there will be like. May have no cell phone or Internet, but sure I'll have at least one.
Took one more ride to Pretty Place. I could stay there forever. It is so peaceful & so beautiful. If I should ever marry again, that might be a place to do it.
Thanks for checking in & hope to post again real soon.

  1. Did you sing when you hit 7,000 miles?

  2. LOL! Not this time. I only get about 2500 miles per rear tire & it costs about $90 to replace one. One big drawback for the Vespa.
