Great day from Kissimmee, FL to TX. Asides from some low quality gas in Louisiana it was a well timed trip left the hotel in FL around 0645 and got to my folks house at 2230.

I-10 was very scenic

It will be nice to re-organize for the next leg in two weeks.

Random girls who wanted to sit on the bike.

Made it to I-10 west by 0930

Roughly 830 miles to The Woodlands, TX. I'll see where I am around 1400 then make the call.

Great day so far, right around 60 degrees and the sun is on my back till this afternoon.

After a great day of relaxation in Orlando, I'm heading NW again. After a great nights sleep I'm on the road before 0700. Not sure where I'm going to rack out tonight, I'll make that call around 1400 when I have a good idea of milage made.

Made it to Kissimmee!

Found s great deal right next to Disney's Animal Kingdom. Now I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, but I'm not sure about $85 to get into universal.

Morning on Ormond Beach Florida

Tuesday, April 26, 2011

First crash of the trip!

The bike and I are good. I was searching for a poorly labeled state park to camp in when I was turning around, over she went.

It's my fault for not remembering that she is going to handle like crap in sand with all the weight iv added.

So I took the boxes off and lifted her back, now I wish I had gotten a picture. That cause me to miss the window to get into a state park (which I never found...)

However I found the Ocean Mist on Ormond beach Florida. It's cheep ( just a little higher than a campsite!) right on the beach and the owner is really friendly. Oh yeah and I think I will agree with trip advisor, possibly the best motel in the area.

When the Sun is up, pictures will follow!
