We set out today from Kennewick WA, and drove some of the most beautiful country around as we travelled along the Clearwater river en route to our our destination for the night, Missoula MT -- a total of 563 km, or 350 miles. Along the way we stopped at Lewiston ID and just had to drive the famous Lewiston Grade. Its hairpin turns make it a challenge and for any thrill-seeking biker.
The rest of the day was excellent! Weather was hot so we tried to stay hydrated. Tomorrow we head to the biker's Mecca: Sturgis SD. Its 636 mi. almost 1200 km. away. Pretty ambitious, so stay tuned to see if we can do it.
It occurred to me as the miles flew by, that each of us on this trip is so different. We have very different personalities, backgrounds, jobs, hometowns, -- even motorcycles and styles of riding! I'm not a speed demon -- I enjoy the journey. But others like to "book it" and the faster and further, the better! I enjoy the view from the back of the group, others can't stand to have anyone or anything in front of them.
But I think we recognize the differences between us, and even embrace them as strengths. No one is better, just different. We recognize that and accept each other.
That's just how we roll.
And in a nutshell, that's how all of us have to treat each other as we travel life's highway together.
