Road Trip Log Update: The day began with a beautiful sunrise and
a crisp morning to ride. The day progressively got warmer but stayed comfortable
as we traveled across State Route 2 through New Hampshire and Vermont. For the
most part the roads were smooth. There was one 5 mile stretch that had so much
construction that the road was torn down to dirt. In Vermont they believe in
repairing the road all at once. We felt like we were on an obstacle course at 10
miles an hour. The extra effort was worth it because the air was so clean and
the scenery was so green. When we stopped for fuel, or to eat, the local people
were extremely friendly and very interesting. We commented on the great weather
and inquired about how cold it was in the winter months. One gal said “Oh
gosh, really, really, really cold. I mean really cold”. A little kid added “Veeeerrrrrrry
cold!” That would explain all the motorcycles that were out. Seems as though
the cold winters have helped people in that part of the country to develop a
sense of humor. For our next stop we traveled on 91 South into Brattleboro for
an opportunity for JillMarie to see the hometown of Emma Bailey the first
American women auctioneer who wrote the book “Sold To The Lady in the Green
Hat”. The rest of the day was spent enjoying riding the New York countryside
until the sun faded and the weather got cold. We decided to rap up the day and
get ready for the upcoming storm predicted to hit around Pennsylvania or Ohio.
