Photo Update & explaniation....

The First pic is of me and Cochise... My good friend that I stayed with in New Smyrna Beach.... I was there for about 6 days and this guy really showed me a really good time and introduced me to a lot of good people! Including Gray beard.....

Gray Beard is the guy I met for about 30 minutes. He is the proud owner of "Gray Beard's Cycle Barn". The Cycle Barn is a private collection of historical motorcycles from Harley Panheads to original Triumph Bonneville.... the place is a mini-museum on Hwy 1 just south of New Smyrna Beach..... He is the fella that I can thank for talking me into taking my trip to Alaska.... he was really interesting to talk to and really inspiring!! Thanks Gray Beard!

The 3rd photo is in Key West at the World's Smallest Bar.... My bike is longer than the bar is wide! I walked in the bar and in 2 steps I was belly up at the bar, in the back of the bar and a wall flower all at the same time! The place was packed - it was myself and 2 guys from PA....

The 4th pic is of me and my bike in Key West at the southern most point of the United States of America.... only 90 miles from Cuba!!!

The 5th photo is at the End/Beginning of the road.... if you look close right below the US-1 Sign, you'll see a Mile Marker Sign - "MILE 0" before I left I told people that I was going to try and find the end of the road.... Well Here it is - IN KEY WEST - And what an appropriate place to find the end of the road!!!! It ts kinda discouraging to find the End of the road at the beginning of my Trip! hahaha

The last photo was supposed to be the first..... It just shows the Irony.... even though of the 3 weeks spent in Florida it rained for 2 of those weeks.... the sunshine of the people I spent my time with really made the rain disappear.....
