My special needs daughter and I gave my wife a break over T-day. We took a 2800 mile motorcycle trip from Dallas to south Florida to visit my very special aunt who had been sick.
It was mostly an interstate or interstate like highway trip. :sleep:. I-20 to Jackson, MS the US 49 and 98 to Mobile to pick up I-10. We did drop down to Apalachicola to ride 98. We stopped near Carrabelle where during WW II our soldiers trained for the D-Day invasion on Dog Island. We cruised over to Perry, then 19 into St. Pete, Desoto State Park, and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge connecting with 75 to Nokomis/Venice.
Aunt was doing fine. Her son and his wife were in from south Georgia so I got to visit with them. I haven't seen them in 10 years. We also visited a couple of other relatives in Tampa and Plant City.
After three days in Nokomis we headed back home. Back roads to Tallahassee then I-10, I-12, I-10 to I-49 then I-20 to Big D. We did make the trip across the Lake Pontchartrain Bridge. That was the first time by motorcycle we had crossed it.
When my daughter goes with me on a motorcycle trip it makes for a slow journey. Each stop take 3 or 4 times longer. By car it is not such an ordeal since not so many clothes must be worn and removed for RR stops. But she did well and it was a good trip. I needed another road trip by motorcycle before it gets too cold so this was a good one.
I had some pictures but I had trouble retrieving them.
