Sometimes I know exactly where I am going. In that case it’s easy, pick a route and go.
More often I have an idea where I’d like to end up, and generally speaking a direction to go.
Once in a while I just follow the front wheel and see where it takes me.
I'm ready to leave Florence, Wisconsin and Sam. That means from here on I'm headed for home. Not directly, you understand, but headed for Yuma. I'm way past halfway on my trip.
Sam and I walked every day. At first, he'd wait for me, he needed to show me "the right way". By the time I'd been there a few days he would just head out in typical Sam style.
My attempt with this post is to show how fond I am of this place. I can't exactly capture it with pictures, but this is a really good spot for me (for Sam too). The sights and smells and feel of this part of the 'Nort Woods' is just soothing to me. The way too early trip plan for 2019 includes a stop here. Maybe two.
It's peace and freedom and absolutely no required actions except water the garden when Erv and Nancy are gone. It's a time to rest and recharge, even though I'm doing my favorite thing, riding a motorcycle in unknown country. It's like I'm just able to step away from stuff here. That qualifies it as a cool place, to me.
This Osprey nest was on my road headed south and west. I spent the first day away from "lonley Pines" wobbling through rural north eastern Wisconsin. I stayed pretty true to the directions but avoided cities at all costs. It was a good ride, and I even had a good rain to ride in late in the day to start me on the way home.
It's not like I'll forget this place, I have the pictures and memories, but it's time to ride. I have more stuff to see.
Thanks for coming along for the ride!
