The Adventure Begins -
I felt a bit like Rick Moranis in Spaceballs!
My dad said he saw seven dead deer - interesting that he kept count. The weather was hot, stayed about 88 most of the trip. The bike is everything I had hoped it would be - the Germans know how to make a machine. In the ZMM spirit - it is a quality bike. I probably haven't recognized or thanked my wife enough for her support of me on this trip. She's at home taking care of the kids, has a test or two in microbiology, is dealing with a broken sewer line at a rental house and even picked up her mother's birthday cake today! How blessed am I!
Saw a few wind farms along the way. Iowa hillsides are beautiful. Aggressive drivers suck.
Looking forward to seeing Pirsig's childhood home and the Sutherland's home tomorrow.
Thanks for the shoutout. We are all doing fine here and slowly adjusting to your absence. I am so proud of you for going on this once in a lifetime journey. I know you will receive all that you wanted from it. Just come home safely to us when you are finished! Love you.
