I left Nokesville, Va at 10 AM yesterday. Had a great visit with my sister and her husband, Ron. Definitely ate too much!!
Travelled on Route 66 west and entered the Skyline Drive in Front Royal, Va. The speed limit for this section is 35 mph. It is a twisty, scenic road. I saw two white tailed deer on roadside but no black bears. Ranger at entrance said the black bears were moving and to be careful. After about 120 slow miles, the road turns in to the Blue Ridge parkway. Speed limit is now 45 mph and in some sections 50-55 mph are appropriate. As it got on close to 4:30 PM, I started looking for a place to spend the night. I exited at Buenta Vista, Va and I'm resting in a local motel. After changing clothes, I walked down to Captain Jim's for fish and chips. I ordered a side of hush puppies. This eatery did not charge me for the hush puppies.I', writing this page before I depart for Boone, NC.
I had new tires installed on the mv at the Motorcycle Factory Inc in Woodbridge, Va. I had called them from St. Louis and they ordered the tires I wanted. Actually gave me a 20% discount and 1/2 off moutning fees. My bill for mounting, balancing, check nd grease speedo cable and chain balancer adjustment was $69.00.
Time to sign off and shower and repack for the road.
