The Holiday Season and the Long Ride Back To Montana

Hi Everybody, it's been busy the past few weeks so the blog entries have slowed down.
Now begins the busy season and the 6,000 mile ride back to Helena, Montana.
Granddaughter Lorna and her husband Rosario took son-in-law Ilidio and I on a cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy Cruise ship, where Rosario works as a ship officer.
Great Cruise.
Mexico, Grand Cayman Islands, Jamaica and Castaway Cay, the Disney Island.
A never to be forgotten experience.
Friday November 14th, the Yamaha will carry me to Miami where Diana and Ilidio have friends. They will make the trip in the car while I have a fun ride.
We may find time for a run down the highway to Key West as well.
The Holiday Season will keep us close to the Sacramento Shangri La in Lake Mary, Florida.
Mid January the ride back home to Helena, Montana will begin with a ride over to Panama City and Pensacola, and on to Mobile Alabama and New Orleans.
A visit with Joni & Gary in Houston will also include  a couple of days with brother-in-law Stan Smith and a possible visit with his son, Major General Len Smith in Austin, Texas.
Dale Coyner in his book Motorcycle Journeys through North America, 
has one ride called the Lone Star Loop. I'll be using part of that ride as a I journey across Texas.
Roswell, New Mexico has been high on my list of "someday places," ever since I installed a satellite dish at the home of Dr. Jesse Marcell whose father was an air force Major and had been at the reported UFO landing site.
Dr. Marcell was a true believer in what he saw of the material his father had brought to there home and talked about it as as I worked on his dish. Now I will have an opportunity to see Roswell in person.
The 6,000 mile ride will carry me through New Mexico, Arizona, California, Oregon, Idaho and ultimately back to Montana in March or April.
Several of the journeys Coyner discusses in his book will be used for side trips along the way, including The Natchez Trace north of New Orleans. So, Thanks Dale for helping make this a great spring ride.
I'll have more on this as the ride gets underway, in the meantime, watch for me, I'll be in the Right Lane America.
Be Fantastic
