So here in Roswell for the 75th anniversary of the crash and spent a day exploring while doing a scavenger hunt for alien things, a fun, and inappropriate at times, trip through the Area 51 exhibit and then we spent some days riding the area and going to a few historical sites. We enjoyed nice temps on our riding days, scenic routes, met some locals that gave some roads to ride that turned into pretty good advice, some rain, good food at local places and some big bugs!

Here’s a sampling of some of the things said these past few days:

I’d probe that – Kyle and Jamie are sure taking a long time at that one – No Bryan, it goes here – Settle the fuck down – Big bump – Where are we going again? – Is that rain? – Was that a bug? – No it was a buzzard! (This was when Bryan took a huge grasshopper to the face while riding the back roads).

We left Roswell, NM under cloud cover this morning and it was a nice cool morning. We had some rise in temps, winds and a nice little rain shower that cooled us down as we made our way into W. Texas.

I would love to say it was fun, but W Texas you are a miserable place in the Summer. The smell of gas, oil, dirt, asphalt then rain – glorious rain – because it cooled us down….for a short time and even fire as we passed a small roadside grass fire thst we had to dodge the flames of. Then you tried to boil us!

Del Rio came in clutch for our overnight place after we made a very happy stop in Comstock at an open Cafe – J&P Bar and Grill, you’re truly an oasis in the desert.

Final push tomorrow for home! Always enjoy our trips with good company, Jamie and Kyle y’all are too much fun, but it’s always nice to get home too!

No not that kind of hot, keep it clean people!

We left Corpus Christi Thursday morning and arrived in Fort Davis to our hotel being closed 🤦🏻‍♀️ Luckily the place next door, The Harvard Hotel, had 2 rooms available and a restaurant. We were set.

West Texas did not disappoint either! While the hottest temp we saw was 101° we kept hydrated and were able to get through the heat! The grandeur of the mountains are just spectacular and will never get old. Had lunch in Langtry, neat but kind of sketchy hole in the wall, you would never know of this place if you didn’t already know of this place kind of place. Let’s just say I’m glad I cut my hamburger in half and that I ate real good at dinner!

Thursday night we drove up to the McDonald’s Observatory for a star gazing party. We got a little lesson on the stars and constellations as well as being able to look through five different high powered telescopes at some pretty amazing stars, star clusters and one dead star. The pitch black night at the top of the mountain and the amount of stars you get to see is very impressive. The ride down the twisty road in this same pitch black night on motorcycles was not impressive, especially when I was able to smell the rain from a nearby storm. We made it back to our hotel dry, thank goodness, and only saw one deer, again, thank goodness! Oh and Bryan kept talking like Marvin the Martian and pissing off the nerdy astronomers handling the telescopes.

Bryan, in his best Marvin the Martian voice: Q36

Nerdy astronomer dude, fed up with Bryan’s bullshit while waiting to look through the telescope: M13!

This morning we headed for Roswell, NM. It was a nice cool morning, but it warmed up pretty quick. We made it into Van Horn on fumes in the gas tanks because the guys wanted to see how far they could make the bikes go. Seriously though, that little light shined for a good 15 miles at least! Breakfast was great and we were on the road again! Made a stop to stretch and use the facilities, that happens, especially when it was Mexican for breakfast! One more stop for gas and into Roswell we went.

Lots of people are here for the 75th anniversary of the “incident” and Bryan is on the lookout for the guys from Ancient Aliens. He’s going fanboy on me!

We’ll see what the next 3 days bring and takes us to as we take some day trips around the area!

We’re all on the ride and it will keep going, present or not.

We went to the 26th Hill Country Run in the Fredericksburg and Luckenbach area first weekend in May. It was a beautiful and relaxing weekend with great friends and some good rides.

Summer in S Texas is hot, humid, and did I say hot and humid?. It keeps us from riding very much if at all except for maybe a few short rides close to home.

Here’s a throwback to one of our wildflower rides. We were with a group of riders and it rained a little but it was a greet weekend!

We competed in a 50 POI (point of interest) contest called the Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas, it took us about a month to finish. We put about 5,000 miles on the bike, a new tire and Bryan said a cuss word or two. We rode through freezing mornings and hotter than hell afternoons. On our latest round we rode through a West Texas dust devil and got hit by a tumbleweed or two. Rode through damn near gale force winds both on the coast and up in the pan handle. We were able to excersize our freedoms and go anywhere we wanted mask-less in East Texas. We ate in more Mom and Pop restaurants than I can recall and stayed in a historic hotel or two. We had a couple of, “da fuck was thats?” and a few “Did you really just do thats”. We would do it all over again, because we love this time together. It’s US time. Then we get to come home and have family time with our grown children.

Some of our sayings the past 3 days:

Look at those bluebonnets

It’s cold

It’s hot

Sketchy, sketchy looking

That curve got you last time we came through here too

Look at those flowers

That bump made snot come out of my nose

That cow is peeing out of the back end of the trailer

I was either super exhausted or that bed was comfy

We are always somewhere. At times it may not be where you want to be but hopefully it’s not for long. I am a glass half full kind of girl so, I will always make the best of being somewhere.

As we made our way home today it started off cold and cloudy but quickly became cool and clear and then warm. Perfect day.

We had our phrase of the day become “Big bump” as the roads were…well, bumpy at times. I got Bryan taking the same picture I was as I was taking mine. The trees in the country around Fredericksburg seen to be all doing. It could be a mixture of things from the freeze to a fungus or infestation of some kind but it was sad to see.

All in all another good weekend of riding and the wild flowers are blooming!
