Within the next few days I will set out on a journey across the continent. My plan is to ride my motorcycle from Salem Oregon to Salem Massachusetts and from Portland Oregon to Portland Maine, killing two birds in one trip. I will be traveling alone, but heavily armed. This alleviates the need for a committee meeting before deciding when to stop and which road to take.
I will record my progress in a daily chronicle with photographs of the events of each day. My plan is travel east through the northern states and return west though the central states. All of this depends on weather, unforeseen calamities, and if my butt can take 6,000 miles in the saddle.
I will be stopping in New Hampshire to visit my friend Pete Dingle who I served two tours of duty with in Viet Nam. We have been friends for 43 years.
I don't know how long this trip will take, but I'd like to be home before the first snowfall in the Rockies.
Hey, our cousin lives in Salem, Mass...
