Base camped in Erwin TN until Oct 6th. My wife and two of her brothers drove from FL to visit/camp with Jerry and I on Oct 2nd until the 6th. A third brother showed up on the 3rd to visit and celebrate Jerry's birthday. Had a good time visiting and hiking around the area.
On the 6th I left TN heading to Alabama to meet up with some friends from Florida to attend Vintage MC Days at Barber Motorsports Park. This event just keeps getting better every year. Jerry stayed in Erwin visiting with friends with intention of returning home Oct. 11th.
I took a few days getting to AL and meet up with the guys on the 9th. Spent a few days at the event and then one of the guys and I started back to Florida the long way around thru the Smokey Mountains.
Arrived back home on the 14th. 199 days, 33098 miles, 774.807 gallons of gas, 5 rear tires, two fronts, 7 oil changes and all the states west of the Mississippi including Alaska.
Including a trip last Sept. through the northeast and Nova Scotia we have traveled through 49 states and 6 Canadian provinces. Have visited more than half of the National Parks. Memories to last a lifetime and met hundreds of wonderful people. Been one hell of a trip!
Thanks once again to the family members who made it possible for us to take a trip of this length. Have lived the dream for most of this year.
