1862
miles in 3 days to Myrtle Beach from Las Cruces, New Mexico
was some ride! We were on the road from early morning to almost
sundown. Frequently stopping for gas was a good thing. From
the desert scene on I-10 to the scent of the green grass and
trees on I-20 was such a great feeling on my harley. Texas into
Lousiana was such a thrill. Mississippi is beautiful. Now I`m
really loving the wind in my face and the feeling of freedom
as we`re riding through the state of Alabama. As my husband
would say, "absolutly wonderful". Our
third day going through Atlanta, Georgia was an experience.
I will admit, I was scared riding this huge city. The MSF course
I took when I first bought Hogett came back into my mind. Now
I have the "I GOTTA DO IT" attude. I felt the communication
we had while riding went really well. I felt safe and the opportunity
to share the open road and such a wonderful scenery kept us
going till we arrived at Myrtle Beach Bike week 2004. Every
morning we`d ride from Garden City to north Myrtle beach. Riding
on Ocean Boulvard was such a breeze. |
Back
to south Myrtle Beach on Hwy 17 (Kings Hwy) into Murrells
Inlet was a great ride. After all day riding and sightseeing,
we`d park
our rides and walk across the street and spend our evening
at Garden City Pier. Sitting at the Pavillion on the corner
of Atlantic Blvd. and Ocean Blvd was like watching a bike
show. What a sight! Now I`m thinking about the feeling of
freedom it gave me to ride all these miles. Now it`s time
to ride back. Can`t wait too see Alabama again. Another 3
days of riding back west. Something I could never explain
to anyone who dosen`t ride. I`m grabbing my pant leg to get
it over my seat. Not wanting to loose the sence of what I
want to accomplish. As in any other sport, I knew I was physically
able to make this journey.

| There
was so much going on, everyone on there harley`s and
custom bikes! It was so much fun. All the people, as
friendly as they can be. The ocean view, the vendors
and restaurants and the live entertainment every where
we went was so exciting. Barefoot Landing was a great
place for shopping. |

| The
effect of the wind across my skin and what I saw and all
the people I met and hope to see again. Seeing the desert
again was a great feeling. I`m greatful for having a safe
and wonderful ride on my HOGETT. |
