Good morning! I am feeling somewhat melancholy this morning. I think there are several reason for this...
1. The first half of the trip has ended, and today I start heading east. I am somewhere around 800 miles west of Springfield, Ohio. I enjoyed traveling the bottom part of Wisconsin and especially Minnesota. I will always have fond memories of this area.
2. I drank 5 beers last night(I had 1 left, hope housekeeping enjoys Bud Select).
3. I am physically tired. (I am in decent shape, but a little tired.)
4. I know I have some hard riding today! I will need to be on the road 8-10 hours.
I am certain once I am on the road I will get my second wind.
I will try to post later tonight. I don't know where I will be, but that is the fun of it!
