The team packed up, one 15 foot trailer, one motorcycle, three bikes, four spare bicycle rims, two spare bike tires, two dozen spare tubes, 12 suitcases, 100 goos/gells, 12 pack of beer (thanks MJ), four lap tops, four cell phones, four ipods, 4 digital cameras, two pillows, one binkey, two horseshoe shaped travel pillows, tools, tools and more tools, three ice chest, one 10 gal water cooler, and the four of us.
First stop the auto parts store because the lights to the trailer would not work. Second stop the dealership because the lights to the trailer were still not working. At the Ford dealership I bought Mark a twenty-five cent fuse for $3.32. However when the service guy at the dealership found out what the parts guy was charging for the fuse he had me wait and he came back with a handful of extra fueses - After these two little detours we are on the road and out of the Austin city limits by 1:30 in the afternoon. Not bad for a planned departure of 11am! lol
We stopped for dinner in Sulfersprings, TX - BK! Nothing like a well balance meal of grease, FF, cheeseburgers and cokes. But with the order of a kids meal I was able to get small plastic miniature Spock from the new movie Star Track. Little did I know, when all got back into the to continue the long nights drive, that you can push a button on the back of Spock's head, the button activated his voice saying "the rescue attempt would be illogical" how appropriate. You will be seeing Spock in the pictures....I think I am going to attach him to my handle bars.
Made it out of the Lone Star State just as the sun was setting. Welcome to AK....the roads went from smooth to bummpy tooooooo bummmmpty to freakin I think I lost a kidney bummmmppppy. Stopped in Forest City, AK. Cheap Best Western. The four of us packed in a tiny room with two beds that were the size of a European twin. Made it to bed at by 1am and slept in till 7am.
