I've started making general plans. I'll detail them out better as time goes on. It looks like my brother will be going for sure. We discussed the trip details yesterday evening, and came up with since we're going to ride into Little Rock, just to say we have, we might as well go on over into Memphis, just to say we've been there and to ride into another state. While we were looking, we saw Sun Studios highlighted on the map next to a cool looking soul food restaurant. We like to find different places like that so both of these got added to our list for sure. As well as ta stop by the BB King concert hall. We can just do a picture outside and that will be fine. Graceland is near there so we'll go by there too. We can just decide on the spot of we do a tour. And so while we're there, we might as well go south and ride into Mississippi. That would give us 4 states to ride through and possibly 5 if we catch Louisiana. And that would being my total up to 7 states that i have ridden to when we are done.
Rabbit trail: I got back into riding a couple of years ago. And I like Texas history so I started riding to historic Texas places, with connections to the Sam Houston family and then onto more Texas historic places. Texas has had a lot of flags, so I started adding different Texas flags to my jacket, then as I started getting into other states, I'm putting those state flags on my jacket. Each flag gets more challenging to obtain, and with this trip complete, I'll have 12 maybe flags on my jacket in total. And of course memories of the rides along with history I've learned along the way.
I'm really starting to look forward to this ride. It's looking like it will work up to be 5 days and 4 nights on the road and will probably surpass 1500 miles.
