Hey Judy, what days are you going to be in Eureka?  They wife and I are headed down there later this week.


We went to Eureka today because the heat for the week is only going to get hotter, so we are starting home a day early and taking that extra day going East praying for cooler weather.

Funny story about this wooden bridge. It 185' long but only 8' wide. One vehicle at a time can cross it and it is all wooden planks that no two are level. We started across and apparently so did this other driver from the other side. Well when we met in the middle he proceeds to get out of his car and tell us to back our scooter's off the bridge. We explained that you don't push 800 lb mc's backwards off a bridge. He swears at us and climbs back in his car, turns it off and he's going to wait us out. Renay asked him if he could scoot is little trashy car over 2' and we will try to squeeze by him.....oh no, the a$$hole tells us to turn out scooter's around. I decided that I was going to settle this little problem, so I reach for my 45 Kimber that I wear on my hip and chit....I realized that I left it back at the hotel. I was more upset with myself than the a$$ hole. After threatening to call the sheriff and let him settle the standoff, the ahole scoots over 1'. We squeeze by barely with 2" between our fairing and his outside mirror. I was going to take my foot and kick his door in when I went by his car but there wasn't enough room for me to get my leg up off my floorboard. Talk about an arrogant SOB.

Christ of the Ozarks.  This statue is 7 stories high and we were told it is lit up at night and you can see it from far away. Very humbling.

Hey Judy, did you guys go by Lake of the Ozarks?  As I remember it is pretty neat around there.

We went by the sign pointing in that direction but didn't turn since we were pushing hard to get East and hopefully drive out of this HEAT.  But, the forecast looks like we are going to drive home and arrive home in the same heat.   :'(

Looks like a 12 volt air pump  :coolblue:

It is noon and we just crossed into Kentucky. The temp is 101 and they are calling for 106. YIKES is it hot!  We have 160 more miles before stopping for the night. The tar snakes are brutal. I almost dropped my scooter at the gas station. I just filled up and was pushing it back away from the pump when my left foot slipped out from under me. I don't know how I held her up but when I looked down I had slipped on a chicken wing!  Now I've heard of a banana, but who throws fried chicken wings out the window????  Gonna be a long, hot afternoon!

Drink LOT's of water, Judy.  This kind of heat is dangerous... :nervous:

Unfortunately, I'm not a big water drinker but we have been stopping every hour and I have guzzled all the sweet tea I can hold. We are 105 miles away from Bairdstown and our hotel. We are making great time running 75 mph on 62 East. We are at Central City Kentucky fueling. We will keep drinking Terry, thank you for your concern.

GATORADE! !! Sweet stuff with sugar is not good in this heat.
Glad to hear you're moving along. We're enjoying the pix. Debi got a good laugh of your "bear" impersonation.  Lol

I'm addicted to Sweet Tea too, Judy.  That confirms that you grew up in Alabama   :huepfenlol2:  Throw a bottle of Gatorade in there a couple of times a day...I can tolerate the Orange flavor pretty well if it's really cold. Or at least eat a Bannna to get the potasium back that you're losing.  It's so hot here that I'm putting ice cubes in my dog's water bowl, and bringing them inside for part of the day, even though they have a nice screened in porch with a ceiling fan...it ain't fit for Man nor Beast out there right now.  Ya'll take care and get to that air conditioned motel ASAP.

We got the only hotel room left in Bairdstown. What a hotel!  If we weren't so darn hot we would have pushed on but it's 6:30 pm and we can't go any further. The guy at the desk doesn't speak English and Renay and I had to share a towel when we took a shower. I'm including a picture of the crooked "chandelier" and the curtains falling down. At least our mc's are parked right outside our door. I'm probably gonna sit at the window with my Kimber all night. Our goal is to get up at 5 AM and get ahead of the heat to try and complete the last 350 miles home.
