The Last Day!

Started in: Wadena, MN
Ended in: Wadena, MN
Pandora’s Status: Purring like a kitten.

Today is going to be the last day of this trip. I made it to each of my family members' houses (at least once).

Grandpa and I cleaned up Pandora. I didn't realize how much weight was in her -- almost 200 lbs including Gage -- wow!

Tonight I took my Grandma out on a date. We had a great time. We both dressed up. I borrowed some good clothes from my Grandpa. Some how, I think I ended up looking like a pimp :-( When I told Grandma what I thought, she laughed, and then said, "Yes you do."

Making route 66 be my destination (at least for a while) was wonderful. While I was driving on the route, I was not thinking about my endpoint, because I was already where I was trying to be. It was easy to look around and enjoy where I was because I was not thinking about being anyplace else:

When I wasn't worried about where I would end up, it was easier to enjoy where I was.

Here are some final observations:

• Dead armadillos look freaky.
• Everyone should get stranded on the side of the road at least once a year.
• Old motorcycles attract old men, cute dogs attract women.
• I think everyone should spend at least one night on a beach with a special person.
• Ridding a motorcycle in the cold, at night, is lonely.
