Shower was achieved, attire was thrown on, and laundry was stuffed onto the bike – whew, I made it with a couple of minutes to spare. From the hotel, we rolled down to the local Bickford’s, got a hearty breakfast into us and then crossed the border into NH. Yeah!!! NH!!! No Helmet Law!!! We tossed those stupid infernal helmets into Bub’s van…along with beer, beer, hard alcohol, more beer, and even more beer, all from the NH liquor store and accompanying beer store that were right there waiting for us! We love NH!!
The rest of the ride through NH and into ME was pleasant and uneventful. We pulled into Harley Road around 4:30, and headed up to the clearing. Dave & Karmen were there to greet us and we settled in with some road sodas and got our tents set up.
Before long, it was time to head off to Rob & Tina’s house for the annual spaghetti dinner! Pan after pan of those delicious noodles were smothered with Rob’s famous simmered-for-days sauce. Man, I’m drooling right now, just thinking about it. More beers were opened, laughter ensued and we took turns stoking the outdoor fireplace. This was great!
Oh yeah; Jerry opted to ride with Zig over to Rob & Tina’s house. Talk about coming full circle – both Zig and I have shared the back seat of Jerry’s trike over the years (but not at the same time!), so it seemed fitting that Jerry be able to sit back and enjoy the scenery for a change.
When it got rather late, we headed back to the clearing and got the campfire going, imbibed a bit more (as we’re known to do) and shared funny stories of Russ Sr. That brought us to the close of another day.
