If it's June, it must be time to fire up the Harley and hit the road. We left town in the early afternoon, hoping to miss commute traffic.
Let me just mention that the Sacramento area is crazy busy. We made good time, there are just so many vehicles on the roads. How did we ever commute for years? We're pretty sure we would never do that again!
We arrived safely in Sparks, NV where we scored a room for $53 at The Nugget, and got a sweet parking spot to tuck the bike in for the evening. Part of our road trip fun is finding cheap rates on a room. We like to average below $100 and get real excited if we get below $50. A huge plus is a covered parking spot (a soggy seat in the a.m. is not fun) up close to the front door (makes us feel the bike is safe and we have a shorter walk to lug all our stuff off the bike).
After riding all day, the last thing we want to do is get back on the bike to go to dinner. We usually shower (The water pressure was Old School here. We have used low flow for so long, we forgot what it was like. We laughed and said it was like The Seinfeld episode where Kramer bought shower heads on the black market!) and throw on street clothes and flip flops to walk to dinner. Since The Nugget is along the highway and a bit isolated, we ate there at the cafe. We ordered their "famous" awful-awful burger, which is awful-awful good. I had mine with thick fries. UGH......I was stuffed!
I'm posting this on the iPad and have not figured out how to get the photos inserted. Stay tuned and check back later to see if I've succeeded.
