Monday 2nd July 2012
Start time: 07.39
Finish time: 13.30??
Music played: Blog for the day (Tuesday, 3 July 2012): Yesterday too, Sunday, there were lots of big oversized trucks moving parts for wind turbines, the drivers mostly gave us lots of room on the roads. Today however, we had a complete nutcase who basically tried to kill all of us out on the road today. I have no idea what this guys problem is, maybe he is small, fat, ugly with a small c*ck who has 5 divorced wives at home and god knows how many kids. Anyway, watch the video and if you feel the same way, then share the video, send it around, make it viral and get this w@nker off the roads now before he kills someone. I think there was a joke in the UK made by someone about all lorry drivers being murderers of prostitutes, they have probably all had part of their brains sucked out on their HGV test. At a service station at the first stop we all took 5, ate some food, checked out the antique shop which was fantastic. Now that I am over halfway through the trip, I am starting to acquire bits :) Souvenirs of my trip. Got some amazing bits! lol. It's not tat though so it's ok. Judy played with some tumbleweed outside, (it wouldn't fit in my bag), and we topped up our water. Some of the vinyl inside was fab! Today I saw lots of deer and cactus, oh and plain plains. I've not seen any prairie dogs or meerkats yet, grrrrr. There are some sunflowers growing at the side of the roads, but no fields and fields like I was hoping. For most, if not all the day, we have been following the old railroad I guess built by Chinese immigrants hundred or so year back, (that's old for America), which, with my amazing imagination, was probably attacked daily by masked bandits and Indians. It was probably fought over like in Once Upon A Time In The West, with small towns being built along its route. I presume that's why there are so many towns and cities dotted along our route, most of them a ghost of their former selves now the railroad has closed, a bit like Sugar City. A lot of these places have a railroad carriage in their parks as a reminder of a gone-by-era. Hmm that's all the notes I have for today. No one is able to come out and visit me while on my trip which sucks big time, nor will there be anyone at the airport to welcome me back. I've also had pretty much no emails apart from a few people, (thanks very much), nor comments on FB - even just a simple "like". I think that is kinda shitty so * * * * * *. It has been another hot long day, and we have another tomorrow, but we should be able to see the mountains with any luck. When I finish I will put some hints and tips if anyone wants them, if your thinking about doing this trip. The group was talking the other night, and as we are not self contained, i.e. carrying all our own stuff on the bikes, the trip is much "easier". So if we talk about how much fun the Ozarks were, that's because we were not hauling 100lb of stuff with us. I was remembering blogs from last year which said how hard they were, but for us they were fine. Anyway, that will all come later. Good night from Ordway, home of a smelly cow feeding farm down the road. Must remember this song - Bill Withers - Lovely Day |
