I have changed the tires on the moto. It is getting close to departure time! I have also cleaned the air filter and all the other PM stuff. This will be the first extended trip on this moto since the Yellowknife/Inuvik/Dead Horse ride last year. I still have a few things left to do!

I'll pack some Indio in the tail box.
![]() Figure we'll cross late Sunday or early Monday so no worries. It'll take all day Sunday to make the border by county roads. Super-slabbing is always an option. I hear IH-35 is beautiful this time of year.

Day 1 - June 28
The moto is loaded except for the laptop. I will take a quick 90 mile ride over to see my father before leaving, stopping by the cemetery in route. The I will return home have lunch and take care of a little banking business. This afternoon I will ride south to Greenville, MS and stay the night with Betty and Danny, leaving from there Friday morning to visit with Tracy and Madison in Dallas, TX. Schizzman and I will meet up Sunday morning and head to Mexico!
![]() ![]() BTW, this picture was taken a few minutes ago! My cousin thought he saw something wrong with the first photo I posted. He saw that the grass was brown! It should have been, that picture was taken in 2010 when Sheryl and I were leaving on our first Mexico trip. I was too lazy to take a new picture the other day. I think the moto was cleaner back then! That is probably because it has not been washed since the first picture was taken! ![]() Hey Billy! If you look at the bottom left of the picture, you can see some green grass!

Day 1 - June 28
I only rode 185 miles today. Went over to see Daddy and then run back by the house. From there, I went south to Greenville, MS to visit some friends and then spend the night with some other friends. Temps were running 99 to 103 as I headed south. 106 in traffic at Greenville!
Enjoyed a great supper with watermelon for desert!
