Breakfast at AirB&B
Our breakfast at the Airbnb was outside on the patio. We were served a fruit plate and a vegetarian omelette with a smiley face. We also had coffee made in a percolator. Alice liked the percolator. I bet she's going to get us one LOL. Just as we finished breakfast 2 deer came right up to take a look at our breakfast feast. I grabbed my iPhone and snapped a picture and they immediately ran back in the woods. I kept my eye out for the cougar the B&B owner had seen a few days earlier in the very spot.
With my heart pounding hard I drove my motorcycle up the gravel steep hill to get off the property. I was very happy to have made it without dumping the bike. I used to ride dirt bikes as a kid and this Harley is not a dirt-bike.
Ride in the park
Our motorcycle ride to Shenandoah National Park took about 35 minutes to get there. We were met by the park ranger at the gate. She offered me an option: "Mr. sexy motorcycle rider would you like a $25 pass to see the park today or an annual pass to see any National Park for $20." I think she was testing my stupidity. I hope I chose the right option.LOL
We had a choice upon entering the park to either turn left which is south or right which is north. The park ranger recommended that we go left which was south.
Up, up up we went on my Harley Davidson. It wasn't long before the fog was so heavy we could not see more than 20 to 30 feet in front of the bike. It got scary for me and I wondered how Alice was feeling right behind me. I think I was riding about 10-15 mph. We parked the bike and snapped a bunch of pictures and had a great time. Alice told me I have created a monster. A motorcycle monster and a camera monster. She snapped some pictures of me and I think she did a great job, we shall see!
Against my better judgment we got back on the bike and continued in the dense fog. The combination of the dense fog, moisture on my motorcycle helmet visor and the moisture and fog up my glasses made me almost blind. We finally pulled over again and cleaned off the helmet shield and glasses and waited for the fog to lift a bit. The fog finally lifted and we had a great ride. Most of this ride was photographed by my GoPro mounted on top of my helmet. Maybe I will include a few of those videos here. Our motorcycle ride in the park lasted until about 2:30 PM. We were both hungry and decided to go back into town and have lunch.
Lunch at Elpaso Mexican Grille Elkton VA
We were both very hungry and thankful that we had a place to eat. Again I was under impressed by the quality of the food. Where is Liz when we need her recommendations?
Following lunch we noticed the storm was brewing and decided to head back quickly to our bed-and-breakfast which was about 40 minutes away. We hustled home and beat the storm only by minutes. It seems rain has been impacting most every day of our trip.
T-bone steak grilled by chef Tom
For dinner chef Tom cooked a T-bone steak on the grill while the sous chef Alice make sure everything was proper. The T-bar steak was fantastic. Another great day on our vacation!
No televisions. What are we to do?
