2008 Western Adventure
Day 3 - June 22, 2008
My route took me through some of Alabama's beautiful mountains, and near several big lakes. Watching the boaters having fun on the lakes made me wish that I was on a jet ski and not a motorcycle. Did I mention that it was very hot. The thermometer on my bike was registering around a hundred most of the day, but the thermometer is mounted on a black panel, which does attract heat. I had lost all sense of time and before I knew it the sun was starting to go down. I decided that I needed to eat and then start looking for a place to stay. I queried my GPS and found there were several hotels in nearby Jackson, TN. I also checked for camping facilities, but it was getting late by the time I finished my gourmet meal at Taco Bell, and made a few phone calls to family, and felt it would be too late to set up my tent. I found a cheap Motel 6 with WiFi that looked mighty inviting, so that's where I stayed.

Another
late start again this morning, but I did have a good nights sleep.
Again, I had some minor problems setting the route that I wanted to
take, but after a couple of random detours I got back on track. The
country side was beautiful in Northern Alabama, Mississippi, and
into Tennessee. I especially enjoyed going through Tuskegee, AL with
its deep history. The Tuskegee University and the renowned
Tuskegee Airmen.
