Paducah, KY
I started at about 9:30 A.M. OH time and left to stop at the Harley store in Richmond since I believed the gas cable was loose. However, the service guy said that it would be fine.
After 63 miles I stopped in Indy at the "Riley House Restaurant" on 1020 West Main Street. They served a great breakfast . . . eggs, toast and fried corned beef. Until Evansville, IN I stayed on Route 40. The road is really a very historic route and one can see the glory of this road by old forgotten gas stations, old motels that fall apart and gorcery stores that are not bigger then most living rooms. I-70 took that glory away and economics changed for neighborhoods.
______________
Thought of the day:
Nothing lasts forever! Nothing is permanent! Therefore rejoice in the very moment!
______________
After breakfast I drove straight to Paducah. From Evansville I drove on 41 and I then took the scenic bypass I-24 to Paducah.
Stats:
Weather: Sunny, around 90 degrees
Miles: 422 miles
Gas: $29.00
I stopped at the Westown Inn at , 3901 Hinkleville Rd. in Paducah, KY. The room is clean and fairly inexpensive. $39.00. Here I met some bikers from San Diego who are on their way to New York. (Yamaha & BMW)

I hope you don't have to do so many miles on Day 2, or the next 30! You are always on my mind. Your Mary

Hey Bob:
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed our time together (the laughs and deep thoughts) and that you were able to help me out with the 'forgotten item'.
