Memphis

Mississippi

Last Day

We got into Lumberton last night just before midnight - about a 17 hour day - too many hours to sit in a truck!! Did stop in Memphis to see the Mississippi River - it is huge! Mudd Island is closed on Monday, so I couldn't get as close as I wanted - was a great trip!

Banquet

Rain prevented us from an evening ride to see the Falls with the lights on. Dinner was very nice - flags on the wall represent all the countries that have Red Knight chapters: USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Italy

Fire Station Ride

Took a ride to a Fire Station - 130 bikes rode through the streets!

Boat Ride

Bridge from Buffalo over to Grand Island - also a sailboat that was on the river.

Canada

We made it in and out without any problems except the long wait - coming back to USA it was raining. I was careful to leave all my pointy objects in the truck!

Looking at the Falls

The Falls

Words can't express the feeling you have watching this water.

River at night

This is the view from our hotel room - lots of boats go by.

3rd Day

We are finally here! Actually at Grand Island - had to cross the bridge across the Niagara River to get here. Took the bikes for a spin around the island. Stopped at Lake Erie (before we got here) and took some pictures of the boats there and toured a winery. Our hotel looks out on the Niagara River. Will be riding a lot tomorrow - Yea!

Day 2

OK - two days driving I have been sitting too long - glad there is only one more day! The Grand Ole Opry is still closed due to the flood a few months ago. We went to the Willie Nelson Museum and saw pictures of famous stars in the concrete. Forgetting the time change, we went thru Cincinnati during rush hour traffic - only made one turn around. Then to Xenia, Ohio for a picture at the Fire Station for the Alphabet tour. On to Buffalo tomorrow!

Long day of driving - tried to take a picture of the Mississippi River, but road was closed and we couldn't figure out how to get to the park without getting lost. Will be glad when the bikes are on the road!
